What is agentUniverse?
agentUniverse is a multi-agent framework based on large language models. It provides flexible and easily extensible capabilities for building individual agents. The core of agentUniverse is a rich set of multi-agent collaborative pattern components (serving as a collaborative pattern factory), which allows agents to perform their respective duties and maximize their capabilities when solving problems in different fields; at the same time, agentUniverse focuses on the integration of domain experience, helping you smoothly integrate domain experience into the work of intelligent agents.🎉🎉🎉
🌈🌈🌈agentUniverse originates from the real-world financial business practices of AntGroup (https://github.com/antgroup), dedicated to assisting developers and enterprises in effortlessly constructing domain-expert-level intelligent agents that collaborate to accomplish tasks.
We look forward to your practice and communication and sharing of Patterns in different fields through the community. This framework has already placed many useful components that have been tested in real business scenarios in terms of multi-agent cooperation, and will continue to be enriched in the future.
The pattern components that are currently open for use include:
- PEER pattern component: This pattern uses agents with different responsibilities—Plan, Execute, Express, and Review—to break down complex problems into manageable steps, execute the steps in sequence, and iteratively improve based on feedback, enhancing the performance of reasoning and analysis tasks. Typical use cases: Event interpretation, industry analysis.
- DOE pattern component: This pattern employs three agents—Data-fining, Opinion-inject, and Express—to improve the effectiveness of tasks that are data-intensive, require high computational precision, and incorporate expert opinions. Typical use cases: Financial report generation.
More patterns are coming soon…
The LLM model integration can be accomplished with simple configuration, currently agentUniverse supported models include:

Why use agentUniverse
Concept
The core of agentUniverse provides all the essential components needed to build a single intelligent agent, the collaboration mechanisms between multiple agents, and allows for the injection of expert knowledge. The enables developers to effortlessly create intelligent applications equipped with professional know-how.
Multi Agent Collaboration
agentUniverse offers several multi-agent collaboration model components that have been validated in real-world industries. Among these, the “PEER” model stands out as one of the most distinctive.
The PEER model utilizes agents with four distinct responsibilities: Planning, Executing, Expressing, and Reviewing. This structure allows for the decomposition and step-by-step execution of complex problems and enables autonomous iteration based on evaluation feedback, ultimately enhancing performance in reasoning and analytical tasks. This model is particularly effective in scenarios that require multi-step decomposition and in-depth analysis, such as event interpretation, macroeconomic analysis, and the feasibility analysis of business proposals.
The PEER model has achieved impressive results, and the latest research findings and experimental data can be found in the following literature.
