In this notebook, we demonstrate how to use AssistantAgent and UserProxyAgent to write code and execute the code. Here AssistantAgent is an LLM-based agent that can write Python code (in a Python coding block) for a user to execute for a given task. UserProxyAgent is an agent which serves as a proxy for the human user to execute the code written by AssistantAgent, or automatically execute the code. Depending on the setting of human_input_mode and max_consecutive_auto_reply, the UserProxyAgent either solicits feedback from the human user or returns auto-feedback based on the result of code execution (success or failure and corresponding outputs) to AssistantAgent. AssistantAgent will debug the code and suggest new code if the result contains error. The two agents keep communicating to each other until the task is done.

:::info Requirements
Install the following packages before running the code below:
```bash
pip install pyautogen matplotlib yfinance
```

For more information, please refer to the [installation guide](/docs/installation/).

from IPython.display import Image, display

import autogen
from autogen.coding import LocalCommandLineCodeExecutor

config_list = autogen.config_list_from_json(
    "OAI_CONFIG_LIST",
    filter_dict={"tags": ["gpt-4"]},  # comment out to get all
)
# When using a single openai endpoint, you can use the following:
# config_list = [{"model": "gpt-4", "api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")}]

​
Example Task: Check Stock Price Change

In the example below, let’s see how to use the agents in AutoGen to write a python script and execute the script. This process involves constructing a AssistantAgent to serve as the assistant, along with a UserProxyAgent that acts as a proxy for the human user. In this example demonstrated below, when constructing the UserProxyAgent, we select the human_input_mode to “NEVER”. This means that the UserProxyAgent will not solicit feedback from the human user. It stops replying when the limit defined by max_consecutive_auto_reply is reached, or when is_termination_msg() returns true for the received message.

# create an AssistantAgent named "assistant"
assistant = autogen.AssistantAgent(
    name="assistant",
    llm_config={
        "cache_seed": 41,  # seed for caching and reproducibility
        "config_list": config_list,  # a list of OpenAI API configurations
        "temperature": 0,  # temperature for sampling
    },  # configuration for autogen's enhanced inference API which is compatible with OpenAI API
)

# create a UserProxyAgent instance named "user_proxy"
user_proxy = autogen.UserProxyAgent(
    name="user_proxy",
    human_input_mode="NEVER",
    max_consecutive_auto_reply=10,
    is_termination_msg=lambda x: x.get("content", "").rstrip().endswith("TERMINATE"),
    code_execution_config={
        # the executor to run the generated code
        "executor": LocalCommandLineCodeExecutor(work_dir="coding"),
    },
)
# the assistant receives a message from the user_proxy, which contains the task description
chat_res = user_proxy.initiate_chat(
    assistant,
    message="""What date is today? Compare the year-to-date gain for META and TESLA.""",
    summary_method="reflection_with_llm",
)

user_proxy (to assistant):

What date is today? Compare the year-to-date gain for META and TESLA.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
assistant (to user_proxy):

First, let's get the current date using Python. 

```python
# Python code
from datetime import date

# Get today's date
today = date.today()

# Print today's date
print("Today's date:", today)
```

Next, we need to fetch the stock prices for META (Facebook) and TESLA for the current year. We can use the `yfinance` library in Python to fetch this data. If `yfinance` is not installed, it can be installed using pip: `pip install yfinance`.

Here is the Python code to fetch the stock prices and calculate the year-to-date gain:

```python
# Python code
import yfinance as yf
from datetime import datetime

# Get the current year
current_year = datetime.now().year

# Download stock data for the current year
meta_data = yf.download('FB', start=f'{current_year}-01-01', end=today)
tesla_data = yf.download('TSLA', start=f'{current_year}-01-01', end=today)

# Calculate the year-to-date gain for each stock
meta_ytd_gain = ((meta_data['Close'][-1] - meta_data['Close'][0]) / meta_data['Close'][0]) * 100
tesla_ytd_gain = ((tesla_data['Close'][-1] - tesla_data['Close'][0]) / tesla_data['Close'][0]) * 100

# Print the year-to-date gain for each stock
print(f'META year-to-date gain: {meta_ytd_gain}%')
print(f'TESLA year-to-date gain: {tesla_ytd_gain}%')
```

This code fetches the closing prices for META and TESLA for the current year, calculates the year-to-date gain for each stock, and prints the results. The year-to-date gain is calculated as the percentage change in the closing price from the first trading day of the year to the most recent trading day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
assistant (to user_proxy):

I apologize for the oversight. The variable `today` was defined in the first code block but not in the second one. Let's correct this by defining `today` in the second code block as well. Here's the corrected code:

```python
# Python code
import yfinance as yf
from datetime import datetime, date

# Get the current year and today's date
current_year = datetime.now().year
today = date.today()

# Download stock data for the current year
meta_data = yf.download('FB', start=f'{current_year}-01-01', end=today)
tesla_data = yf.download('TSLA', start=f'{current_year}-01-01', end=today)

# Calculate the year-to-date gain for each stock
meta_ytd_gain = ((meta_data['Close'][-1] - meta_data['Close'][0]) / meta_data['Close'][0]) * 100
tesla_ytd_gain = ((tesla_data['Close'][-1] - tesla_data['Close'][0]) / tesla_data['Close'][0]) * 100

# Print the year-to-date gain for each stock
print(f'META year-to-date gain: {meta_ytd_gain}%')
print(f'TESLA year-to-date gain: {tesla_ytd_gain}%')
```

This code should now correctly fetch the stock prices for META and TESLA, calculate the year-to-date gain for each, and print the results.

I apologize for the confusion. It seems like the ticker symbol for Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook) has changed from 'FB' to 'META'. Let's correct this in the code. Also, it seems like the data for the current day might not be available yet, so let's fetch the data until the previous day. Here's the corrected code:

```python
# Python code
import yfinance as yf
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Get the current year and yesterday's date
current_year = datetime.now().year
yesterday = datetime.now() - timedelta(1)

# Download stock data for the current year
meta_data = yf.download('META', start=f'{current_year}-01-01', end=yesterday)

assistant (to user_proxy):

The code has successfully fetched the stock prices for META and TESLA and calculated the year-to-date gain for each. 

As of yesterday, the year-to-date gain for META (Meta Platforms Inc.) is approximately 50.11%, and for TESLA (Tesla Inc.) it is approximately -30.86%. This means that so far this year, META's stock price has increased by about 50.11% while TESLA's stock price has decreased by about 30.86%.

Please note that stock prices can fluctuate and the exact gain may vary depending on the time of checking.

Check chat results

The initiate_chat method returns a ChatResult object, which is a dataclass object storing information about the chat. Currently, it includes the following attributes:

  • chat_history: a list of chat history.
  • summary: a string of chat summary. A summary is only available if a summary_method is provided when initiating the chat.
  • cost: a tuple of (total_cost, total_actual_cost), where total_cost is a dictionary of cost information, and total_actual_cost is a dictionary of information on the actual incurred cost with cache.
  • human_input: a list of strings of human inputs solicited during the chat. (Note that since we are setting human_input_mode to NEVER in this notebook, this list is always empty.)

Plot a chart of their stock price change YTD. Save the data to stock_price_ytd.csv, and save the plot to stock_price_ytd.png.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
assistant (to user_proxy):

To plot a chart of the stock price change year-to-date (YTD) for META and TESLA, and to save the data and the plot, we can use the `matplotlib` and `pandas` libraries in Python. If these libraries are not installed, they can be installed using pip: `pip install matplotlib pandas`.

Here is the Python code to fetch the stock prices, plot the chart, and save the data and the plot:

```python
# Python code
import yfinance as yf
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Get the current year and yesterday's date
current_year = datetime.now().year
yesterday = datetime.now() - timedelta(1)

# Download stock data for the current year
meta_data = yf.download('META', start=f'{current_year}-01-01', end=yesterday)
tesla_data = yf.download('TSLA', start=f'{current_year}-01-01', end=yesterday)

# Plot the closing prices
plt.figure(figsize=(14, 7))
plt.plot(meta_data['Close'], label='META')
plt.plot(tesla_data['Close'], label='TESLA')
plt.title('META vs TESLA Stock Price YTD')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Closing Price')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.savefig('stock_price_ytd.png')

# Save the data to a CSV file
data = pd.concat([meta_data['Close'], tesla_data['Close']], axis=1)
data.columns = ['META', 'TESLA']
data.to_csv('stock_price_ytd.csv')
```

This code fetches the closing prices for META and TESLA for the current year, plots the closing prices, saves the plot to 'stock_price_ytd.png', and saves the closing prices to 'stock_price_ytd.csv'.

assistant (to user_proxy):

The code has successfully fetched the stock prices for META and TESLA, plotted the chart of their stock price change year-to-date (YTD), and saved the data to 'stock_price_ytd.csv' and the plot to 'stock_price_ytd.png'.

You can now view the chart in the 'stock_price_ytd.png' file and the data in the 'stock_price_ytd.csv' file in your current working directory.

TERMINATE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let’s display the generated figure.

try:
    image = Image(filename="coding/stock_price_ytd.png")
    display(image)
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("Image not found. Please check the file name and modify if necessary.")

Let’s display the raw data collected and saved from previous chat as well.

# Path to your CSV file
file_path = "coding/stock_price_ytd.csv"
try:
    with open(file_path, mode="r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
        # Read each line in the file
        for line in file:
            # Split the line into a list using the comma as a separator
            row = line.strip().split(",")
            # Print the list representing the current row
            print(row)
except FileNotFoundError:

Example Task: Use User Defined Message Function to let Agents Analyze data Collected

Let’s create a user defined message to let the agents analyze the raw data and write a blogpost. The function is supposed to take sender, recipient and context as inputs and outputs a string of message.

**kwargs from initiate_chat will be used as context. Take the following code as an example, the context includes a field file_name as provided in initiate_chat. In the user defined message function my_message_generator, we are reading data from the file specified by this filename.

def my_message_generator(sender, recipient, context):
    # your CSV file
    file_name = context.get("file_name")
    try:
        with open(file_name, mode="r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
            file_content = file.read()
    except FileNotFoundError:
        file_content = "No data found."
    return "Analyze the data and write a brief but engaging blog post. \n Data: \n" + file_content


# followup of the previous question
chat_res = user_proxy.initiate_chat(
    recipient=assistant,
    message=my_message_generator,
    file_name="coding/stock_price_ytd.csv",
    summary_method="reflection_with_llm",
    summary_args={"summary_prompt": "Return the blog post in Markdown format."},
)

user_proxy (to assistant):

To analyze this data and write a blog post, we first need to load the data into a pandas DataFrame, then perform some basic analysis on it. We can then use the results of this analysis to write the blog post.

Here is the Python code to load the data and perform the analysis:

Title: A Comparative Analysis of META and TESLA Stocks in Early 2024

In the first quarter of 2024, the stock market saw some interesting movements in the tech sector. Two companies that stood out during this period were META and TESLA. 

META, the social media giant, had an average stock price of [META Mean] during this period. The highest it reached was [META Max], while the lowest was [META Min]. The standard deviation, a measure of how spread out the prices were, was [META Std].

On the other hand, TESLA, the electric vehicle and clean energy company, had an average stock price of [TESLA Mean]. The stock reached a high of [TESLA Max] and a low of [TESLA Min]. The standard deviation for TESLA was [TESLA Std].

These figures show that both META and TESLA had their ups and downs during this period. However, the higher standard deviation for [Company with higher Std] indicates that its stock price fluctuated more compared to [Company with lower Std].

As we move further into 2024, it will be interesting to see how these trends evolve. Will META and TESLA continue on their current trajectories, or will we see a shift in the market dynamics? Only time will tell.

Please replace [META Mean], [META Max], [META Min], [META Std], [TESLA Mean], [TESLA Max], [TESLA Min], [TESLA Std], [Company with higher Std], and [Company with lower Std] with the actual values obtained from the Python code.
