What is Agenite?

Agenite is a powerful TypeScript framework designed for building sophisticated AI agents. It provides a modular, type-safe, and flexible architecture that makes it easy to create, compose, and control AI agents with advanced capabilities.

The name Agenite (pronounced as Agen-ite) comes from combining “Agent” with the suffix “-ite”, representing a framework that crystallizes best practices for building AI agents.

Agents

Agents are the central building blocks in Agenite. An agent:

  • Orchestrates interactions between LLMs and tools
  • Manages conversation state and context
  • Handles tool execution and results
  • Supports nested execution for complex workflows
  • Provides streaming capabilities for real-time interactions

​
Tools

Tools extend agent capabilities by providing specific functionalities:

  • Strong type safety with TypeScript
  • JSON Schema validation for inputs
  • Flexible error handling
  • Easy API integration

​
Providers

Currently supported LLM providers:

  • AWS Bedrock with Claude models
  • Local models via Ollama
  • Consistent interface for easy provider switching
  • Built-in streaming support
