Hybrid Architecture v21 (Legacy): Robust, synchronous agents for standard reporting. v22 (Async): Message-driven microservices for high-throughput data ingestion. v23 (Adaptive): The "Brain" that orchestrates it all. 🛠️ Getting Started Prerequisites Python 3.10+ Node.js (for full UI dev) Quick Start Clone the Repository: git clone https://github.com/adamvangrover/adam.git cd adam Install Dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt Configure the System: System configurations are now managed through a set of modular YAML files within the config/ directory (e.g., config/agents.yaml, config/api.yaml, config/data_sources.yaml, config/system.yaml, config/settings.yaml, etc.). The main config/config.yaml file is now deprecated for direct configuration and instead points to these modular files. Users should modify the specific files directly to customize settings. config/example_config.yaml can be consulted for examples of various structures but is no longer the primary template to copy for runtime configuration. Configure your preferred LLM engine (e.g., OpenAI, Hugging Face Transformers, Google Cloud Vertex AI) by modifying the relevant section in the appropriate modular configuration file (e.g., config/llm_plugin.yaml or config/settings.yaml). Customize agent configurations and workflows by editing files like config/agents.yaml and config/workflow.yaml to suit your specific needs. 3.1. API Key Configuration API keys for external services are no longer configured in YAML files. Instead, they must be provided as environment variables. The application will read these environment variables at runtime. For instance, you would set environment variables like: BEA_API_KEY='your_bea_key', BLS_API_KEY='your_bls_key', IEX_CLOUD_API_KEY='your_iex_key', TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY='your_twitter_consumer_key', etc. Refer to the specific data source integration or documentation for the exact environment variable names required.
