[Agentic] Other SDKs

Agents are just Python code - integrate any SDK you want (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, LlamaIndex, custom libraries, etc.). AgentEx doesn't lock you into a specific framework.

What You'll Learn

• How to integrate OpenAI, Anthropic, or any SDK
• What AgentEx provides vs what you bring
• Framework-agnostic agent development
• Building agents with your preferred tools

Prerequisites

• Development environment set up (see main repo README)
• Backend services running: make dev from repository root
• Understanding of async agents (see 000_hello_acp)

Quick Start

cd examples/tutorials/10_async/00_base/040_other_sdks
uv run agentex agents run --manifest manifest.yaml

Key Insight

AgentEx provides:

• ACP protocol implementation (task management, message handling)
• Deployment infrastructure
• Monitoring and observability

You provide:

• Agent logic using whatever SDK/library you want
• Tools and capabilities specific to your use case

Mix and match OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, or roll your own - it's all just Python.

When to Use

• You have an existing agent codebase to migrate
• Your team prefers specific SDKs or frameworks
• You need features from multiple providers
• You want full control over your agent logic

Why This Matters

AgentEx is infrastructure, not a framework. We handle deployment, task management, and protocol implementation - you handle the agent logic with whatever tools you prefer. This keeps you flexible and avoids vendor lock-in.
