Agent File

Product
April 2, 2025

Today we are launching Agent File (.af): a file format to make stateful agents shareable and reproducible. With Agent File, you can re-create the exact same agent on a different server – allowing you to move agents across cloud and local agent servers. 

While sharing prompts is fairly straightforward, stateful/autonomous agents have significant associated state: tools definitions and settings, the execution environment, model configuration, and memories (both in-context and external).

Agent File was build to address key challenges with the agent ecosystem today: 

  • Portability and reproducibility between systems 
  • Collaboration between developers 
  • Preservation of agent configurations
  • Versioning agents over time 

With the release of Agent File, we’re also sharing a few example agents we built, including: 

You can download an .af to instantly create each of these agents (we’ve also released scripts to generate the agents as well). 

A key part of building towards stateful agents is determining what the standard for “state” in an agentic system should be: Agent File is the first file format for representing agentic state in a portable and reproducible way.  This is a critical step toward our vision of building the operating system for AI agents – systems that can truly learn and improve with experience.

We're excited to see what you build! Try it out and let us know what agent types you'd like to see next, or share your own agent creations with the community.

Check out our example agent files and upload your own on the Agent File GitHub repository.

Agent Memory: How to Build Agents that Learn and Remember

Traditional LLMs operate in a stateless paradigm—each interaction exists in isolation, with no knowledge carried forward from previous conversations. Agent memory solves this problem.

Anatomy of a Context Window: A Guide to Context Engineering

As AI agents become more sophisticated, understanding how to design and manage their context windows (via context engineering) has become crucial for developers.

RAG is not Agent Memory

Although RAG provides a way to connect LLMs and agents to more data than what can fit into context, traditional RAG is insufficient for building agent memory.

Memory Blocks: The Key to Agentic Context Management

Memory blocks offer an elegant abstraction for context window management. By structuring the context into discrete, functional units, we can give LLM agents more consistent, usable memory.

Sleep-time Compute

Sleep-time compute is a new way to scale AI capabilities: letting models "think" during downtime. Instead of sitting idle between tasks, AI agents can now use their "sleep" time to process information and form new connections by rewriting their memory state.
