The GLOW-UP Every AI Agent Needs

I get asked a lot what my process looks like for building an AI agent, so I’m kicking off a mini series showing my entire flow! In this series, we’ll build AI agent that can consume entire GitHub repositories so you can ask it questions about all the code in the repo.

In the last video, we turned our Github agent prototype into a full blown agent with Pydantic AI. But there was no frontend, just a terminal. So in this video, the 4th one in the series, we’ll build an API endpoint around our agent and hook it into a full blow frontend, all in minutes! Best glow up we could give our new friend and it's all using a brand new tool I made as a part of the Live Agent Studio called "Agent 0"!

Agent 0 is different than everything else I've seen. I haven’t found another platform that easily allows you to run any agent locally and hook it into a frontend that manages conversation and chat history for you. You could even host your Supabase locally to make the entire conversation 100% local! Open AI assistants and similar tools aren’t local and applications like Open WebUI are actually decently complicated to hook in custom agents.

Playlist for this AI Agent series:

Couple small notes:
- Agent 0 is called that not to rip on Agent Zero (which I just heard about), but because of the URL for accessing it as the "0th" agent on the platform: /agent/0
- Speaking of URLs, I mean to say forward slash and not black slash for the URLs in the video!

Here is the sample Python agent I used as the template in the video:

If you're more technical: I also mentioned in the video I'd speak to why I'm using the HTTP protocol for the Live Agent Studio. HTTP is slower than other protocols I could use like JSON RPC 2.0 and SSE like Claude's MCP uses to an extent. The reason I'm using anyway is because it's the simplest and right now there are not good practices established for using other protocols for agents at this point. I know that this is a HUGE area of research in the industry (and it is for me!) so at some point I'm almost certainly making a switch but it'll be a lot of work to get there!

Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI. I'll be uploading videos at least two times a week - Sundays and Wednesdays at 7:00 PM CDT! Sundays and Wednesdays are for everything AI, focusing on providing insane and practical educational value. I will also post sometimes on Fridays at 7:00 PM CDT - specifically for platform showcases - sometimes sponsored, always creative in approach!

Dude YES! 30:05 is there ANY chance we could get support for the gemini voice api? Or even the chatgpt one? There are NO open source projects like this that can do this.

Could you create a video on how to containerize an AI Agent via Docker in an API with n8n?

[realsammyt]

Love your work, passion, and perspective. Curious about your video production process and workflow.

Hey bro, I recall you previously mentioned that Flowise isn't recommended for production due to limitations in logging, monitoring, and error handling, making it better suited for rapid prototyping. However, Flowise offers integration with several analytics tools - like LangSmith and others. Which solves the issue you raised right ? . I'm torn between your expert opinion and Flowise's capabilities. Can you help me out, bro?

[SuperNinjaman]

Hey Cole, I recently asked you the question about local setups and getting a MacBook with how much RAM, I wanna know your thoughts on the NVDIA DIGITS, you think it’s worth it?

[The_AI_Buddy]

I saw your comment saying flowise is not production ready but are you sure the new verison of flowise is super updated . And also i got an idea for you that will be gane changing, why dont you develope a no code open source platform like flowise but for pydantic AI😍 i beleive only you can do that ❤u have that passion bro. Isnt this crazy good idea ?

[amrpyt]

How make this agents as a SaaS platform?

[gavienperez]

can i still get in on this hackathon event without knowing how to code? Like maybe make an agent with n8n or soemthing?

[The-ism-of-isms]

Yo boss can you make n example a customer support rag chatbot with pydantic AI framework in this series or like tell us how to customize github pydantic ai agent code you created to a customer support rag agent what all codes to change in it atleast.

[mesiiu]

Master🎉🎉 Try with notebook and project IDX with GKE?

[EduardsRuzga]

Ou wow using Prezi! How do you like it? :D

[teebo]

why do i not see any agents when i visit the ottomator studio? "No Agents Found"

[GoodBaleadaMusic]

Hi free idea. Make an agent that goes into social media and cleans it up. Organizes it. Goes back through 20 years of facebook and brings old albums to life. Delete things. Omg delete things. Professionalize. Turn my my shit into something coherent. I'd pay 20 bucks a month for that.

[DemocracyDecoded]

Let me ask you something, you've been building agents this entire times, what projects have those agents actually finished for you? What have you automated in your life?

Thanks.

[pressplayg]

I hope in this series you will include how to turn this agents as a saas platform with subscription and payment features ❤. That will make this series officially a zero to hero super course ❤thank u boss

[ByronWatts]

A normal URL never includes a 'backslash'. Ever.

[trevorpowell]

Your naming is terrible! I thought you were going to hook it onto the actual agent zero 😕 you need to really start coming up with your own unique names instead of ripping off other names

[sumlikeno]

Agent 0? That name is already taken by @agentzero 😅
