Knowledge Tools

KnowledgeTools provide intelligent search and analysis capabilities over knowledge bases with reasoning integration.

Example

The following agent can search and analyze knowledge bases:

1from kern.agent import Agent
2from kern.tools.knowledge import KnowledgeTools
3from kern.knowledge import Knowledge
4
5# Initialize knowledge base
6knowledge = Knowledge()
7knowledge.load_documents("./docs/")
8
9agent = Agent(
10    instructions=[
11        "You are a knowledge assistant that helps find and analyze information",
12        "Search through the knowledge base to answer questions",
13        "Provide detailed analysis and reasoning about the information found",
14        "Always cite your sources and explain your reasoning",
15    ],
16    tools=[KnowledgeTools(knowledge=knowledge)],
17)
18
19agent.print_response("What are the best practices for API design?", stream=True)
