Auto Mode

Automatically generate and execute agents with intelligent tool discovery

The --auto flag automatically generates an agents.yaml configuration from a natural language task description, using intelligent tool discovery to assign the most appropriate tools based on task analysis.

Auto Mode vs Recipe Create: Auto mode generates and immediately executes agents. Use praisonai recipe create if you want to generate a reusable recipe folder without execution.

Quick Start

praisonai --auto "Create a research team to analyze market trends"

Auto Mode vs Recipe Create

Auto Mode

• Generates and executes immediately
• Creates agents.yaml in current directory
• Best for one-off tasks
• No optimization loop

Recipe Create

• Creates a reusable recipe folder
• Includes agents.yaml + tools.py
• Optimization loop for quality
• Best for reusable workflows

Usage

praisonai --auto "<task description>" [options]

Options

Option	Description
--auto	Enable auto mode with task description
--merge	Merge with existing agents.yaml instead of overwriting
--framework	Framework to use (crewai, autogen, praisonai)

Intelligent Tool Discovery

The enhanced auto mode analyzes your task description and automatically assigns appropriate tools from 9 categories:

Category	Tools	Triggered By
Web Search	internet_search, tavily_search, exa_search	”search”, “find”, “look up”
Web Scraping	scrape_page, crawl, extract_text	”scrape”, “crawl”, “extract”
File Operations	read_file, write_file, list_files	”read file”, “save”, “load”
Code Execution	execute_command, execute_code	”execute”, “run code”, “script”
Data Processing	read_csv, write_csv, read_json	”csv”, “excel”, “json”, “data”
Research	search_arxiv, wiki_search	”research”, “paper”, “wikipedia”
Finance	get_stock_price, get_historical_data	”stock”, “price”, “financial”
Math	evaluate, solve_equation	”calculate”, “math”, “equation”
Database	query, find_documents	”database”, “sql”, “mongodb”

Examples

Financial Research

praisonai --auto "Research stock prices and create a financial report"

Generated tools: get_stock_price, get_stock_info, get_historical_data, write_file

Web Scraping

praisonai --auto "Scrape websites for product data and save to CSV"

Generated tools: scrape_page, crawl, extract_text, write_csv, read_csv

Data Analysis

praisonai --auto "Analyze CSV data and generate statistics"

Generated tools: read_csv, analyze_csv, calculate_statistics, write_file

With Framework

praisonai --auto "Create a data analysis team" --framework praisonai

Merge Existing

praisonai --auto "Add a quality reviewer" --merge

How It Works

1. Task Complexity Analysis

   Determines if task is simple (1 agent), moderate (2 agents), or complex (3-4 agents)

2. Keyword Matching

   Identifies relevant tool categories from task description

3. Tool Assignment

   Assigns appropriate tools from matched categories

4. Agent Generation

   Creates specialized agents with focused roles

5. YAML Output

   Generates agents.yaml configuration file

6. Execution

   Runs the generated agents to complete the task

Generated Output

The auto mode creates an agents.yaml file with:

• Intelligent agent count based on task complexity
• Specialized roles with clear responsibilities
• Appropriate tools from 50+ available tools
• Focused tasks with expected outputs
• Process configuration (sequential, parallel, etc.)

When to Use Each

Use Auto Mode When...

• You need a quick one-off task
• You want immediate execution
• You don’t need to save the workflow
• You’re prototyping ideas

Use Recipe Create When...

• You want a reusable workflow
• You need optimization for quality
• You want to share the recipe
• You need custom tools in tools.py
• You want to version control the recipe

For production workflows, use praisonai recipe create to get optimized, reusable recipes with proper structure.
