OpenManusView Repo is a framework for building autonomous AI agents. Think of it like a digital assistant that can perform tasks. It uses a central brain (an LLM like GPT-4) to understand requests and decide what to do next. Agents can use various tools (like searching the web or writing code) to interact with the world or perform specific actions. Some complex tasks might involve a flow that coordinates multiple agents. It keeps track of the conversation using Memory and ensures secure code execution using a DockerSandbox. The system is flexible, allowing new tools to be added, even dynamically through the MCP protocol.
