Async Agents framework introduction

Features

• Lock-less Architecture: Stateless agents operate without shared memory locks
• Multi-Core Performance: Utilizes worker threads for true parallelism
• Strong Flow Control: Managed conversation workflows with hooks
• Modular Design: Pluggable agents with tool integration support
• Async Processing: Non-blocking operations with promise-based APIs. Can be integrated with broadcast channel, kafaka, sqs, pubsub, etc.

Agents Patterns

1. Round Robin: Simple task distribution
2. Handoff: Agent-to-agent conversation transfer
3. Tool Calling: Function execution with reflection
4. Selector: Intelligent agent assignment
5. Workflow: Managed multi-step processes

Design Overview

This is an email-like messaging system. Key design elements explained below.

Email-like Messaging:

Each entity (Manager/Agents) has its own virtual mailbox (persistent storage)

Messages have explicit types: NEW, FORWARD, REPLY

All communications are asynchronous and stored

Message Flow:

NEW: End User initiates conversation with Manager

FORWARD: Manager routes messages to agents

REPLY: Agents respond to Manager (not directly to End User)

Final REPLY: Manager responds to End User
