AGENTIC AI IN A SIMPLE WAY - How to Make AI Agents That Argue Like a Teacher and Student (Using AutoGen!) ??????

Ever wanted to watch two AI robots argue about physics? ?? Well, today, we’re going to make that happen!

We’ll create two AI agents:

• A super smart teacher (who is a bit strict) ??
• A super confused student (who asks hilarious questions) ??

They will discuss why a ball falls down when you drop it (a.k.a. gravity). And trust me, this conversation is going to be GOLD. ??

?? Prerequisites: Things You Need Before Starting

Before we begin, make sure you have:

? Python installed (version 3.7 or later).

? AutoGen installed (this makes our AI chat possible).

??? Install Python Packages (Do This First!)

Open your terminal (or command prompt) and type this:

pip install autogen        

This installs AutoGen, which helps us create talking AI agents in Python.

Done? Great! ?? Let’s start coding!

?? Step 1: Create the AI Teacher and Student

Now, let’s write a simple Python script where:

• The teacher explains physics like a boss.
• The student asks ridiculous questions.

Here’s the full code:

import autogen  # Import autogen (our AI toolbox)

# Step 1: Create an AI world (like a classroom for our AI agents)
world = autogen.World()

# Step 2: Create the AI Teacher
teacher = world.create_agent(
    name="Professor Gravity",
    system_message="You are a strict but funny physics teacher. "
                   "You explain things simply, but if the student asks silly questions, respond with sarcasm."
)

# Step 3: Create the AI Student
student = world.create_agent(
    name="Timmy the Curious",
    system_message="You are a curious but confused student. "
                   "You ask a lot of weird and funny questions because you don’t fully understand science."
)

# Step 4: The student asks a physics question
question = "Why does a ball fall down when I drop it?"  # Timmy is confused about gravity!
print(f"Student: {question}")  # Print student's question

# Step 5: The teacher responds
teacher_reply = teacher.ask(question)  # AI teacher answers
print(f"Teacher: {teacher_reply}")  # Print teacher's reply

# Step 6: The student gets even more confused and asks another question
student_reply = student.ask(teacher_reply)  # AI student responds based on what teacher said
print(f"Student: {student_reply}")  # Print student's confused response
        

?? Let’s Break Down the Code (Line by Line!)

?? Step 1: Import the Magic

import autogen        

?? What’s Happening?

We are importing AppGen, which is like a magical AI toolkit that helps us create smart and funny talking robots. ??

?? Step 2: Create an AI World

world = autogen.World()        

?? What’s Happening?

We are creating an AI world, which is basically a classroom where our AI teacher and student will have their epic nerdy battle. ??

?? Step 3: Create the AI Teacher

teacher = world.create_agent(
    name="Professor Gravity",
    system_message="You are a strict but funny physics teacher. "
                   "You explain things simply, but if the student asks silly questions, respond with sarcasm."
)        

?? What’s Happening?

We created Professor Gravity, the AI teacher.

? He is very smart and knows everything about physics.

? He is a little sarcastic when students ask dumb questions. ??

?? Step 4: Create the AI Student

student = world.create_agent(
    name="Timmy the Curious",
    system_message="You are a curious but confused student. "
                   "You ask a lot of weird and funny questions because you don’t fully understand science."
)        

?? What’s Happening?

We created Timmy the Curious, the AI student.

? He loves asking questions (even the weird ones).

? He sometimes misunderstands everything. ??

?? Step 5: The Student Asks a Question

question = "Why does a ball fall down when I drop it?"  # Timmy is confused about gravity!
print(f"Student: {question}")  # Print student's question        

?? What’s Happening?

Timmy (the student) asks a super basic physics question.

But don’t worry – he’s about to get more confused. ??

?? Step 6: The Teacher Explains

teacher_reply = teacher.ask(question)  # AI teacher answers
print(f"Teacher: {teacher_reply}")  # Print teacher's reply        

?? What’s Happening?

Professor Gravity (our teacher) gives a serious answer like: "The ball falls because of gravity, which is the force pulling everything toward Earth."

Sounds smart, right? But wait… Timmy is still confused. ??

?? Step 7: The Student Responds (With More Confusion!)

student_reply = student.ask(teacher_reply)  # AI student responds based on what teacher said
print(f"Student: {student_reply}")  # Print student's confused response        

?? What’s Happening? Timmy completely misunderstands and says something like: "Wait… so the Earth is a GIANT BALL MAGNET?!"

The teacher will probably sigh loudly before explaining again. ??

?? Step 8: Run the Code and Enjoy the Chaos!

When you run the script, here’s what might happen:

Student: Why does a ball fall down when I drop it?
Teacher: The ball falls because of gravity, a force that pulls objects toward the Earth.
Student: Oh! So you're saying the Earth is a giant ball magnet? What if I glue myself to the ground?
Teacher: No, Timmy. Gravity pulls on everything, not just balls. And glue won’t save you.
Student: What if I jump really high? Can I escape gravity?
Teacher: Only if you can jump at 40,270 km/h. Good luck with that. ??        

?????? This is what peak AI comedy looks like.

??? Bonus: Customize Your AI Agents!

Want to make this even crazier? Try these:

• Make the teacher super dramatic: "GRAVITY is the UNSEEN FORCE of the UNIVERSE!"
• Make the student a total prankster: "If I spin really fast, will gravity get confused?"
• Make them both argue forever! ??

?? Final Words

? You just built an AI teacher and student that actually talk!

? You now understand Agentic AI in AutoGen!

? You can customize and make them even funnier!

Now go have fun making AI robots argue about science! ????
