Is Standard Agent All We Need for Agentic AI? - Live AMA
Join us for an in-depth AMA with Rishikesh Ajit, the main maintainer of Standard Agent, an open-source library for building composable AI agents.
About the Session
Standard Agent is a deliberately simple, modular library for AI agents. It provides the core reasoning loop that bridges LLMs with tools, while staying small enough to read, understand, and extend.
In this AMA, we’ll explore:
The Standard Agent repository: how it’s structured and why it matters
A walkthrough of the core code and reasoning strategies (ReAct, ReWOO, and beyond)
Running live examples: from CLI demos to building your own agent
How Standard Agent fits into the broader agentic AI ecosystem (LangGraph, crewAI, AutoGen, etc.)
Practical ways for contributors and curious minds to get involved and self-onboard
This session will give you the knowledge to dive in and start experimenting with the Standard Agent
