WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:02.960 Would you believe it's already day five of week four? 00:03.000 --> 00:06.760 Here we are completing our sidekick project. 00:06.760 --> 00:07.800 I'm so happy! 00:07.800 --> 00:11.440 I love this project and I'm now such a fan of Landgraf. 00:11.480 --> 00:16.400 Over the course of the week, uh, we're going to be talking today about tools, tools and more tools 00:16.400 --> 00:21.240 we're going to be building in, uh, the same tool that we know and love already about searching the 00:21.240 --> 00:27.600 web, not navigating a browser, but doing the web search, uh, using the Serp API that we've used 00:27.600 --> 00:28.080 before. 00:28.200 --> 00:30.400 We're going to send push notifications because why not? 00:30.440 --> 00:31.400 We know how to do that. 00:31.400 --> 00:36.640 We're also going to add a tool to use the file system to be able to write files, so that we can have 00:36.800 --> 00:43.040 our operator agent that we're building our, our coworker that we have with our sidekick be able to 00:43.080 --> 00:45.720 read and write files from the file system. 00:45.720 --> 00:49.840 We're going to have it have access to Wikipedia so that it can look things up. 00:50.040 --> 00:54.000 And we're even going to give it the ability to run Python code itself. 00:54.000 --> 00:56.320 Not not in a Docker container like we did before. 00:56.360 --> 00:59.480 This time it's just going to have the ability to execute some Python. 00:59.640 --> 01:06.840 And so we're really giving it unfettered access to do things on our machine while we watch and while 01:06.840 --> 01:07.790 we monitor. 01:08.350 --> 01:09.990 And that leads me to a big point. 01:10.190 --> 01:14.870 Uh, the sidekick app that we're about to build is an experimental app. 01:14.910 --> 01:21.310 It's something for you to work with and to monitor and watch and use it for your own purposes. 01:21.310 --> 01:27.390 This is this is an app for commercial purposes for you, for you to be able to get more and do more 01:27.430 --> 01:29.670 with an AI agent at your side. 01:29.830 --> 01:32.670 But in doing so, it doesn't have guardrails. 01:32.670 --> 01:36.310 It's something which is, uh, open to the wild. 01:36.310 --> 01:39.630 And as such, it needs to be treated with some caution. 01:39.630 --> 01:41.390 And that's the first thing I want to say. 01:41.590 --> 01:44.230 Use sidekick at your own risk. 01:44.230 --> 01:49.270 If you're not comfortable with this, if you're not sure about the technologies behind it and so on, 01:49.310 --> 01:53.310 then please do remove the Python Repl tool that we'll we'll add. 01:53.310 --> 01:59.910 You should remove it and even remove the online navigation tools until you're, you're comfortable with 01:59.910 --> 02:00.390 what's going on. 02:00.390 --> 02:01.470 And you can watch it. 02:01.470 --> 02:05.230 This is an agent that we are allowing to roam free. 02:05.270 --> 02:10.510 Now of course when it's using the browser it's using it's using chromium, the open source version of 02:10.510 --> 02:10.870 Chrome. 02:10.870 --> 02:16.970 And it doesn't have access to any of our cookies or any of our passwords in a password manager or something 02:16.970 --> 02:17.450 like that. 02:17.450 --> 02:22.970 So it's not able to do anything like log in or it doesn't have access to credit cards and so on. 02:22.970 --> 02:27.770 And the file manager is is within a certain directory, so it can't roam free on your computer. 02:27.810 --> 02:30.170 The Python wrapper is that's pretty open. 02:30.170 --> 02:34.770 It can run any Python it wants, which would allow it potentially to write something that could that 02:34.770 --> 02:36.810 could do uh, do some damage. 02:36.970 --> 02:39.210 Uh, so you could remove that if you're, if you're concerned. 02:39.210 --> 02:41.450 But it does seem extremely unlikely. 02:41.450 --> 02:43.450 But nonetheless you need to be comfortable with it. 02:43.450 --> 02:46.330 You need to do it at your own risk please. 02:46.890 --> 02:50.890 The the other thing I want to say is that the sidekick app is a starting point. 02:50.930 --> 02:52.370 See it as a canvas. 02:52.490 --> 02:57.810 I've built something up with some prompts and some tools, and I've discovered that I can make it do 02:57.810 --> 02:58.650 great things for me. 02:58.690 --> 03:04.810 It actually did some work for me, some real work, some commercial work that I needed to do, and it 03:04.810 --> 03:08.730 did it for me and produced a report and it was something that I used. 03:08.730 --> 03:09.170 So. 03:09.170 --> 03:10.250 So it works. 03:10.530 --> 03:11.490 It really works. 03:11.490 --> 03:17.770 And it can deliver commercial benefit for you and be your own sidekick, let alone building it for other 03:17.770 --> 03:18.290 people. 03:18.610 --> 03:20.330 Uh, so see it that way. 03:20.440 --> 03:22.600 But you need to see it as this canvas. 03:22.600 --> 03:26.320 It's something which you need to to make suitable for yourself. 03:26.320 --> 03:30.240 You need to put in the sorts of tools and give it the kind of prompting you need. 03:30.280 --> 03:35.120 When I use it, I find that it sometimes goes awry, and I need to improve my prompts and make various 03:35.120 --> 03:36.960 changes to it to keep it on track. 03:36.960 --> 03:37.960 And that's what you have to do. 03:38.000 --> 03:42.320 It will require experimentation, and if you do so, it will pay dividends. 03:42.320 --> 03:43.720 And that's my final point. 03:43.720 --> 03:45.560 There's so much opportunity with this. 03:45.560 --> 03:47.840 This really unleashes a gigantic eye. 03:48.120 --> 03:51.400 But this is like it's like you're building your own madness. 03:51.400 --> 03:55.880 If you find if you find agents like, like madness from the Chinese startup that that was able to do 03:55.880 --> 04:02.040 things like hunt for good, rent in apartments and build websites and things, this is like your very 04:02.040 --> 04:07.520 own one that you are building and you are controlling and so you can make it do great things. 04:07.680 --> 04:13.200 Um, but it requires effort put into it to and it will, it will take some investment of your time and 04:13.200 --> 04:14.400 experimentation. 04:14.400 --> 04:17.680 And so I see that see it that way, the good and the bad. 04:17.720 --> 04:19.160 It's a it's a canvas. 04:19.160 --> 04:22.240 It's not a completed product, but there's so much potential. 04:22.560 --> 04:23.560 Well let's get to it. 04:23.560 --> 04:31.100 Here we are in uh, in Cursa, we're looking at, week four, of course, and now we're going to Python 04:31.100 --> 04:35.260 modules, which I know will please some people, but I'm not going to be typing code, but it's going 04:35.260 --> 04:37.660 to be looking at it but going through it carefully. 04:38.180 --> 04:43.060 So sidekick, the application is divided into three Python modules. 04:43.540 --> 04:44.740 There are they are here. 04:44.740 --> 04:47.420 And I'll first give you like a drive by of them. 04:47.420 --> 04:49.540 There is sidekick tools. 04:49.540 --> 04:54.700 And this is the module where we define the different tools that we will use. 04:54.700 --> 05:02.020 So it's nicely packaged up in one place that is going to get us access to a ton of tools, or it's going 05:02.020 --> 05:05.300 to give our agent access to a ton of tools, then sidekick. 05:05.780 --> 05:11.460 Now this is a bit of a long, a long, uh, module here, and maybe this should be broken up a bit. 05:11.700 --> 05:19.620 Um, but it contains a class sidekick, and that has the code that includes our worker, our evaluator, 05:19.620 --> 05:21.140 and the building of the graph. 05:21.140 --> 05:22.580 And we'll come and look through this. 05:22.660 --> 05:30.180 And then thirdly, there is App.py, and that is our Gradio app that manages the user interface side 05:30.180 --> 05:30.620 of it. 05:31.020 --> 05:31.380 Okay. 05:31.420 --> 05:34.260 So with that, let's just spend a couple of minutes on each on each piece.
