πŸ† OWL achieves 58.18 average score on GAIA benchmark and ranks πŸ…οΈ #1 among open-source frameworks! πŸ†

πŸ¦‰ OWL is a cutting-edge framework for multi-agent collaboration that pushes the boundaries of task automation, built on top of the [CAMEL-AI Framework](https://github.com/camel-ai/camel). Our vision is to revolutionize how AI agents collaborate to solve real-world tasks. By leveraging dynamic agent interactions, OWL enables more natural, efficient, and robust task automation across diverse domains.

To use these API services, follow these steps: 1. *Copy and Rename*: Duplicate the `.env_example` file and rename the copy to `.env`. ```bash cp owl/.env_template .env ``` 2. *Fill in Your Keys*: Open the `.env` file and insert your API keys in the corresponding fields. (For the minimal example (`run_mini.py`), you only need to configure the LLM API key (e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY).) 3. *For using more other models*: please refer to our CAMEL models docs:https://docs.camel-ai.org/key_modules/models.html#supported-model-platforms-in-camel > **Note**: For optimal performance, we strongly recommend using OpenAI models. Our experiments show that other models may result in significantly lower performance on complex tasks and benchmarks. # πŸš€ Quick Start Run the following demo case: ```bash python owl/run.py ``` For a simpler version that only requires an LLM API key, you can try our minimal example: ```bash python owl/run_mini.py ``` You can run OWL agent with your own task by modifying the `run.py` script: ```python # Define your own task question = "Task description here." society = construct_society(question) answer, chat_history, token_count = run_society(society) logger.success(f"Answer: {answer}") ``` For uploading files, simply provide the file path along with your question: ```python # Task with a local file (e.g., file path: `tmp/example.docx`) question = "What is in the given DOCX file? Here is the file path: tmp/example.docx" society = construct_society(question) answer, chat_history, token_count = run_society(society) logger.success(f"Answer: {answer}") ``` OWL will then automatically invoke document-related tools to process the file and extract the answer. Example tasks you can try: - "Find the latest stock price for Apple Inc." - "Analyze the sentiment of recent tweets about climate change" - "Help me debug this Python code: [your code here]" - "Summarize the main points from this research paper: [paper URL]" # πŸ§ͺ Experiments We provided a script to reproduce the results on GAIA. You can check the `run_gaia_roleplaying.py` file and run the following command: ```bash python run_gaia_roleplaying.py ``` # ⏱️ Future Plans - [ ] Write a technical blog post detailing our exploration and insights in multi-agent collaboration in real-world tasks. - [ ] Enhance the toolkit ecosystem with more specialized tools for domain-specific tasks. - [ ] Develop more sophisticated agent interaction patterns and communication protocols # πŸ“„ License The source code is licensed under Apache 2.0. # πŸ–ŠοΈ Cite If you find this repo useful, please cite: ``` @misc{owl2025, title = {OWL: Optimized Workforce Learning for General Multi-Agent Assistance in Real-World Task Automation}, author = {{CAMEL-AI.org}}, howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/camel-ai/owl}}, note = {Accessed: 2025-03-07}, year = {2025} } ``` # πŸ”₯ Community Join us for further discussions! ![](./assets/community_5.jpg) # ❓ FAQ **Q: Why is my Chrome browser showing a blank screen even though there's output in the console?** A: This is expected behavior. When OWL determines that a task can be completed using non-browser tools (like search, code analysis, etc.), the browser window may remain blank. The browser is only activated when web interaction is necessary. We plan to implement lazy loading in future updates to improve this user experience. # ⭐ Star History [![Star History Chart](https://api.star-history.com/svg?repos=camel-ai/owl&type=Date)](https://star-history.com/#camel-ai/owl&Date) [docs-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/Documentation-EB3ECC [docs-url]: https://camel-ai.github.io/camel/index.html [star-image]: https://img.shields.io/github/stars/camel-ai/owl?label=stars&logo=github&color=brightgreen [star-url]: https://github.com/camel-ai/owl/stargazers [package-license-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache_2.0-blue.svg [package-license-url]: https://github.com/camel-ai/owl/blob/main/licenses/LICENSE [colab-url]: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1AzP33O8rnMW__7ocWJhVBXjKziJXPtim?usp=sharing [colab-image]: https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg [huggingface-url]: https://huggingface.co/camel-ai [huggingface-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/%F0%9F%A4%97%20Hugging%20Face-CAMEL--AI-ffc107?color=ffc107&logoColor=white [discord-url]: https://discord.camel-ai.org/ [discord-image]: https://img.shields.io/discord/1082486657678311454?logo=discord&labelColor=%20%235462eb&logoColor=%20%23f5f5f5&color=%20%235462eb [wechat-url]: https://ghli.org/camel/wechat.png [wechat-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/WeChat-CamelAIOrg-brightgreen?logo=wechat&logoColor=white [x-url]: https://x.com/CamelAIOrg [x-image]: https://img.shields.io/twitter/follow/CamelAIOrg?style=social [twitter-image]: https://img.shields.io/twitter/follow/CamelAIOrg?style=social&color=brightgreen&logo=twitter [reddit-url]: https://www.reddit.com/r/CamelAI/ [reddit-image]: https://img.shields.io/reddit/subreddit-subscribers/CamelAI?style=plastic&logo=reddit&label=r%2FCAMEL&labelColor=white [ambassador-url]: https://www.camel-ai.org/community [owl-url]: ./assets/qr_code.jpg [owl-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/WeChat-OWLProject-brightgreen?logo=wechat&logoColor=white
