# My First Agent with smolagents

This project is part of the [Hugging Face Agents Course](https://huggingface.co/learn/agents). It demonstrates how to create a simple but powerful agent using the smolagents library version 1.9.2.

## Features

This agent can:
- Search the web using DuckDuckGo
- Get weather information for locations (using OpenWeatherMap API)
- Provide natural conversational responses

## Requirements

- Python 3.10 or higher
- smolagents==1.9.2
- gradio==4.44.1
- Other dependencies listed in requirements.txt

## Environment Variables

The following environment variables need to be set:
- `HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN`: Your Hugging Face API token
- `OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY`: Your OpenWeatherMap API key

## How to Use

1. Clone the repository
2. Install the dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```
3. Set up your environment variables:
   ```bash
   export HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN=your_token_here
   export OPENWEATHERMAP_API_KEY=your_key_here
   ```
4. Run the application:
   ```bash
   python app.py
   ```

## Example Queries

- "What's the weather like in Tokyo?"
- "Tell me the temperature in New York"
- "Search for the latest news about AI"

## Weather Tool Limitations

The weather tool has some limitations:
- Cannot disambiguate between cities with the same name
- Only accepts letters, digits, spaces, and hyphens in city names
- Does not support additional location information (state, country, etc.)
- Returns temperatures in Fahrenheit and wind speeds in mph

## Technical Details

This agent uses:
- smolagents 1.9.2 for the agent framework
- Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct as the language model
- Gradio 4.44.1 for the user interface
- OpenWeatherMap API for weather data
- DuckDuckGo for web searches
