A lightweight, Python-first framework for building and orchestrating robust, multi-agent AI workflows.

The OpenAI Agents SDK is a production-ready, Python-first framework for developing sophisticated agentic AI applications. It simplifies complex workflows using a small set of core primitives: Agents (LLMs with instructions and tools), Handoffs (task delegation between agents), Guardrails (configurable input/output validation), and Sessions (automatic conversation history management). The SDK automates the agent loop, handling tool execution and result processing until completion. This design ensures rapid development of scalable, reliable AI solutions, complete with built-in tracing for visualizing, debugging, and optimizing your multi-agent systems.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [AI Agents playing Texas Hold'em](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_HCrImvLeCLw)

I'm working on a prototype that shows how a group of agents can play Texas Hold'em poker together. This is early work, but I'll be sharing progress, challenges encountered so far, and welcome any input/advice on frameworks or tools as I continue to develop this.

### [An MCP Server for the BBC micro:bit](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_5Cvg0c_6Rew)

The BBC micro:bit is a small but powerful device, designing for learning and creating with technology. Over 7 million of them have been produced, used by over 30 million students in 70+ countries. In this science fair demo, I'll be presenting an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server I've developed for the micro:bit. Using MCP with the micro:bit opens up new possibilities for students - enabling them to interact with the device through conversational LLMs, going beyond what they can do today with the standard MicroPython implementation.

### [Building Real-Time Voice Agents with OpenAI's Agent SDK](https://fort-wayne.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_5viYWjRy4BE)

Live coding demonstration showing how to build real-time voice conversations with AI using LiveKit's WebRTC infrastructure and OpenAI's Realtime API. I'll walk through the actual Javascript code to create a multimodal agent with function calling. Then I'll add memory capabilities to create a "Digital Barista" that remembers customer preferences across sessions.

### [LLM Evals + Observability for my AI Recipe Generator App](https://chicago.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_9UmeeOYAhyY)

I built an AI Recipe Generator to help at-home cooks make great food with ingredients they have on hand. I coded this in python with OpenAI Agent SDK and used Comet Opik to implement traces and custom LLM eval metrics.
