# SwarmRouter Documentation

The `SwarmRouter` class is a flexible routing system designed to manage different types of swarms for task execution. It provides a unified interface to interact with various swarm types, including `AgentRearrange`, `MixtureOfAgents`, `SpreadSheetSwarm`, `SequentialWorkflow`, `ConcurrentWorkflow`, and finally `auto` which will dynamically select the most appropriate swarm for you by analyzing your name, description, and input task. We will be continuously adding more swarm architectures as we progress with new developments.

    agent_name="Data-Extractor",
    system_prompt=DATA_EXTRACTOR_PROMPT,
    llm=model,
    max_loops=1,
    autosave=True,
    verbose=True,
    dynamic_temperature_enabled=True,
    saved_state_path="data_extractor_agent.json",
    user_name="pe_firm",
    retry_attempts=1,

    output_type="string",
)

summarizer_agent = Agent(
    agent_name="Document-Summarizer",
    system_prompt=SUMMARIZER_PROMPT,
    llm=model,
    max_loops=1,
    autosave=True,
    verbose=True,

# Initialize the SwarmRouter
router = SwarmRouter(
    name="pe-document-analysis-swarm",
    description="Analyze documents for private equity due diligence and investment decision-making",
    max_loops=1,
    agents=[data_extractor_agent, summarizer_agent],
    swarm_type="ConcurrentWorkflow",
    autosave=True,
    return_json=True,
)

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Run a comprehensive private equity document analysis task
    result = router.run(
        "Where is the best place to find template term sheets for series A startups? Provide links and references"
    )
    print(result)

    # Retrieve and print logs
    for log in router.get_logs():
        print(f"{log.timestamp} - {log.level}: {log.message}")
```

## Advanced Usage

### Changing Swarm Types

You can create multiple SwarmRouter instances with different swarm types:

```python
sequential_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="SequentialRouter",
    agents=[agent1, agent2],
    swarm_type="SequentialWorkflow"
)

concurrent_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="ConcurrentRouter",
    agents=[agent1, agent2],
    swarm_type="ConcurrentWorkflow"
)
```

### Automatic Swarm Type Selection

You can let the SwarmRouter automatically select the best swarm type for a given task:

```python
auto_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="AutoRouter",
    agents=[agent1, agent2],
    swarm_type="auto"
)

result = auto_router.run("Analyze and summarize the quarterly financial report")
```

## Use Cases

### AgentRearrange

Use Case: Optimizing agent order for complex multi-step tasks.

```python
rearrange_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="TaskOptimizer",
    description="Optimize agent order for multi-step tasks",
    max_loops=3,
    agents=[data_extractor, analyzer, summarizer],
    swarm_type="AgentRearrange",
    flow=f"{data_extractor.name} -> {analyzer.name} -> {summarizer.name}"
)

result = rearrange_router.run("Analyze and summarize the quarterly financial report")
```

### MixtureOfAgents

Use Case: Combining diverse expert agents for comprehensive analysis.

```python
mixture_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="ExpertPanel",
    description="Combine insights from various expert agents",
    max_loops=1,
    agents=[financial_expert, market_analyst, tech_specialist],
    swarm_type="MixtureOfAgents"
)

result = mixture_router.run("Evaluate the potential acquisition of TechStartup Inc.")
```

### SpreadSheetSwarm

Use Case: Collaborative data processing and analysis.

```python
spreadsheet_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="DataProcessor",
    description="Collaborative data processing and analysis",
    max_loops=1,
    agents=[data_cleaner, statistical_analyzer, visualizer],
    swarm_type="SpreadSheetSwarm"
)

result = spreadsheet_router.run("Process and visualize customer churn data")
```

### SequentialWorkflow

Use Case: Step-by-step document analysis and report generation.

```python
sequential_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="ReportGenerator",
    description="Generate comprehensive reports sequentially",
    max_loops=1,
    agents=[data_extractor, analyzer, writer, reviewer],
    swarm_type="SequentialWorkflow"
)

result = sequential_router.run("Create a due diligence report for Project Alpha")
```

### ConcurrentWorkflow

Use Case: Parallel processing of multiple data sources.

```python
concurrent_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="MultiSourceAnalyzer",
    description="Analyze multiple data sources concurrently",
    max_loops=1,
    agents=[financial_analyst, market_researcher, competitor_analyst],
    swarm_type="ConcurrentWorkflow"
)

result = concurrent_router.run("Conduct a comprehensive market analysis for Product X")
```


### Auto Select (Experimental)
Autonomously selects the right swarm by conducting vector search on your input task or name or description or all 3.

```python
concurrent_router = SwarmRouter(
    name="MultiSourceAnalyzer",
    description="Analyze multiple data sources concurrently",
    max_loops=1,
    agents=[financial_analyst, market_researcher, competitor_analyst],
    swarm_type="auto" # Set this to 'auto' for it to auto select your swarm. It's match words like concurrently multiple -> "ConcurrentWorkflow"
)

result = concurrent_router.run("Conduct a comprehensive market analysis for Product X")
```

## Advanced Features

### Batch Processing

To process multiple tasks in a batch:

```python
tasks = ["Analyze Q1 report", "Summarize competitor landscape", "Evaluate market trends"]
results = router.batch_run(tasks)
```

### Threaded Execution

For non-blocking execution of a task:

```python
result = router.threaded_run("Perform complex analysis")
```

### Asynchronous Execution

For asynchronous task execution:

```python
result = await router.async_run("Generate financial projections")
```

### Concurrent Execution

To run a single task concurrently:

```python
result = router.concurrent_run("Analyze multiple data streams")
```

### Concurrent Batch Processing

To process multiple tasks concurrently:

```python
tasks = ["Task 1", "Task 2", "Task 3"]
results = router.concurrent_batch_run(tasks)
```

## Best Practices

1. Choose the appropriate swarm type based on your task requirements.
2. Provide clear and specific tasks to the swarm for optimal results.
3. Regularly review logs to monitor performance and identify potential issues.
4. Use descriptive names and descriptions for your SwarmRouter and agents.
5. Implement proper error handling in your application code.
6. Consider the nature of your tasks when choosing a swarm type (e.g., use ConcurrentWorkflow for tasks that can be parallelized).
7. Optimize your agents' prompts and configurations for best performance within the swarm.
8. Utilize the automatic swarm type selection feature for tasks where the optimal swarm type is not immediately clear.
9. Take advantage of batch processing and concurrent execution for handling multiple tasks efficiently.
10. Use the reliability check feature to ensure your SwarmRouter is properly configured before running tasks.
