TLDR

AgentScope is a Python framework for building AI agents powered by large language models that can use tools, remember past interactions, and complete multi-step tasks autonomously or in coordinated multi-agent teams.

What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Build an autonomous AI agent that searches the web, runs code, and completes a multi-step research task without human intervention.

USE CASE 2

Create a multi-agent pipeline where one agent plans, another searches, and a third writes, all collaborating to produce a final output.

USE CASE 3

Add long-term memory to an AI assistant so it stores facts from past conversations in a database and recalls them in future sessions.

USE CASE 4

Deploy a human-in-the-loop AI workflow where an agent pauses mid-task to ask a person for input before continuing.

In plain English

AgentScope is a Python framework for building, running, and deploying AI agents, software programs powered by large language models (LLMs) that can reason, use tools, remember past interactions, and complete multi-step tasks autonomously. Its stated goal is to make agents you can "see, understand and trust." The framework is designed to adapt to increasingly capable AI models by leaning on their built-in reasoning and tool-use abilities rather than forcing them into rigid, pre-scripted workflows. It comes with built-in components that handle the common pieces of agent development: a ReAct agent (a standard pattern where the model reasons then acts, alternating between thinking and tool calls), memory (including long-term memory with database support), planning, tool execution, human-in-the-loop interaction (where a person can intervene or guide the agent mid-task), and real-time voice interaction. For multi-agent systems, where multiple AI agents collaborate or compete, AgentScope provides a message hub for flexible orchestration. It supports MCP (a standard protocol for connecting AI tools) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent, a protocol for agents to communicate with each other). You can also fine-tune the underlying models using reinforcement learning. Developers building chatbots, autonomous assistants, data processing pipelines, or complex multi-agent workflows use AgentScope. It can be deployed locally, as a serverless cloud function, or on a Kubernetes cluster. It requires Python 3.10 or higher and is licensed under Apache 2.0.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Build a ReAct agent in AgentScope that uses a web search tool and a code-execution tool to answer multi-step research questions.
Prompt 2
How do I add long-term database memory to an AgentScope agent so it remembers facts and preferences across separate conversations?
Prompt 3
Create a multi-agent pipeline in AgentScope where Agent A plans a task, Agent B executes each step, and Agent C reviews and approves the output.
Prompt 4
How do I connect an AgentScope agent to external tools via MCP so it can call my own API endpoints as part of its reasoning workflow?
Prompt 5
Deploy an AgentScope agent as a serverless cloud function that accepts a user message via HTTP and returns the agent's final response.
