README

Building Effective Agents with Pydantic AI

Code examples for the agentic AI patterns discussed in the excellent article [Building Effective Agents](https://www.anthropic.com/research/building-effective-agents) by [Erik Schluntz](https://github.com/eschluntz) and [Barry Zhang](https://github.com/ItsBarryZ) of Anthropic, inspired, ported and adapted from the [code samples](https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-cookbook/tree/main/patterns/agents) by the authors.

The examples rely on [Pydantic AI](https://ai.pydantic.dev/), an agentic AI orchestration library that is particularly well-suited for implementing these patterns with clarity and precision.

These examples complement the original code accompanying the article and hopefully serve a dual purpose, demonstrating both the foundational agentic AI patterns discussed in the article and the use of Pydantic AI.

Setup

Copy `dot.env` to `.env`
Fill in the API keys for one or more of your LLM provider(s)
Set `AI_MODEL` to the model you want to use (see https://ai.pydantic.dev/models/ for supported providers and models)

For example:
```
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-123456789
AI_MODEL=openai:gpt-4o
```
or
```
GEMINI_API_KEY=ABC-123_xyz
AI_MODEL=gemini-1.5-pro
```
or
```
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=ABC-sk-123456789
AI_MODEL=claude-3-5-sonnet-latest
```
You can also omit the `AI_MODEL` variable, which will result in a ra
