Agent Forge streamlines the entire lifecycle of AI agent development by offering CLI scaffold commands to generate boilerplate code, conversation templates, and configuration settings. Developers can define agent roles, attach LLM providers, and integrate external tools such as vector databases, REST APIs, and custom plugins using YAML or JSON descriptors. The framework enables local execution, interactive testing, and packaging agents as Docker images or serverless functions for easy deployment. Built-in logging, environment profiles, and VCS hooks simplify debugging, collaboration, and CI/CD pipelines. This flexible architecture supports creating chatbots, autonomous research assistants, customer support bots, and automated data processing workflows with minimal setup.
