First read through the julep-concepts.md file and take notes. This file describes brand new features that haven't been announced yet on the project's README.
Then, based on your notes, add/update an announcement section on the README.md file that describes the new features.
- Completely new, re-written from scratch based on developer feedback:
- better doc search
- easier to use
- multi-agent sessions
- integrations with popular tools and apis
- New feature: Tasks
- autonomous workflows
- agents that can carry out long term, multi-step tasks
- insane possibilities using openai o1 plus integrations
- re-read julep-concepts.md
- write down questions for me based on the above
- I'll answer those questions
- then write a new outline for announcement
- needs to be brief but exciting and communicate the potential of the upcoming features
Notes from julep-concepts.md: Agents: Agents are the main orchestrators of applications. Backed by foundation models like GPT-4 or Claude. Attributes include name, about, model, instructions, and default_settings. Support for built-in conversation history and memory. Can interact in long-lived sessions and manage complex tasks. Users: Represent the end-users of the application. Can be associated with sessions. Possess their own documents and metadata. Sessions: Core component where interactions between users and agents occur. Maintain their own context and handle conversation history. Support single or multiple agents and users. Handle context overflow with settings like null, truncate, and adaptive. Multi-Agent Sessions: Sessions can involve multiple agents and users. Behavior adapts based on the number of agents and users. Enable complex interaction patterns and collaboration. Chat: Facilitates dynamic interaction with agents through a powerful API. Supports streaming responses, tool integration, and memory access options. Advanced features include multi-agent interactions and response formatting. Tools: Extend agent capabilities by providing access to various functions and integrations. Types include user-defined functions, system tools, built-in integrations, and API calls. Support for partial application of arguments and parameter resolution via metadata. Docs: Collections of text snippets indexed for semantic search. Scoped to agents or users and recalled within sessions based on context. Utilize state-of-the-art embedding models optimized for performance. Tasks (⭐ New Feature ⭐): Introduce autonomous workflows enabling agents to perform long-running, multi-step actions. Define complex workflows similar to GitHub Actions, combining steps like prompts, tool calls, and conditionals. Support asynchronous execution, error handling, and state management. Allow agents to carry out sophisticated operations without constant user input. Executions: Instances of tasks started with specific input. Managed through a well-defined state machine with statuses like queued, running, awaiting input, succeeded, and failed. Provide transparency and control over task progression. Questions for You: Clarification on Feature Announcements: Should the announcement focus mainly on the new Tasks feature, or equally highlight other improvements like better doc search, multi-agent sessions, and integrations? Target Audience: Who is the primary audience for the announcement? Existing Julep users, new developers, or a general tech-savvy audience? Tone and Style: Do you prefer a technical and detailed announcement or a high-level, exciting overview to generate buzz? Specific Integrations: Are there particular popular tools and APIs we should mention regarding new integrations? Emphasis on OpenAI's o1 Preview: How prominently should we feature the capabilities unlocked by using OpenAI's o1 models in conjunction with Tasks? Release Timeline: Is there a planned release date or version number for these new features that should be included? Call to Action: Should we include prompts for user engagement, such as beta testing sign-ups, feedback requests, or links to documentation? Compatibility and Migration: Will these new features affect existing users? Should we mention any upgrade paths or compatibility notes? Visual Aids: Do you have any visuals (e.g., screenshots, diagrams, videos) you'd like to include or reference in the announcement? Key Benefits and Use Cases: Are there specific use cases or benefits you'd like to highlight to showcase the potential of these features? Answers to your questions: (Please continue with the task after this)
Should the announcement focus mainly on the new Tasks feature, or equally highlight other improvements like better doc search, multi-agent sessions, and integrations?
Mainly on tasks but also highlight the other features
Who is the primary audience for the announcement? Existing Julep users, new developers, or a general tech-savvy audience?
New developers
Do you prefer a technical and detailed announcement or a high-level, exciting overview to generate buzz?
high-level, exciting overview to generate buzz
Are there particular popular tools and APIs we should mention regarding new integrations?
Yes, 100+ tools (Github, Salesforce, File Manager, Code Execution & More) to perform actions
How prominently should we feature the capabilities unlocked by using OpenAI's o1 models in conjunction with Tasks?
Only highlight the fact that since o1 models can now do reasoning and planning, they can be used for very very complex and long term tasks. They also need a much longer time to run and hence, julep tasks is perfect for orchestrating them.
Is there a planned release date or version number for these new features that should be included?
Yes October 7 -- during Hacktoberfest
Should we include prompts for user engagement, such as beta testing sign-ups, feedback requests, or links to documentation?
Join discord if you'd like early access and api keys
Will these new features affect existing users? Should we mention any upgrade paths or compatibility notes?
Yes but more details will follow soon along with detailed documentation
Do you have any visuals (e.g., screenshots, diagrams, videos) you'd like to include or reference in the announcement?
Not yet
Are there specific use cases or benefits you'd like to highlight to showcase the potential of these features? Not yet
