TaskGen - A Task-based Agentic Framework using StrictJSON at the core
32Excited to share about TaskGen, a task-based agentic framework building on StrictJSON. Built to improve upon current agentic framework by moving away from conversation-style task solving, and into hierarchical, json-guided concise style of task solving.

Slides: https://github.com/simbianai/taskgen/blob/main/resources/TaskGen.pdf
Noteable features include:
- Splitting of Tasks into subtasks for bite-sized solutions for each subtask
- Single Agent with LLM Functions
- Single Agent with External Functions
- Meta Agent with Inner Agents as Functions
- Shared Variables for multi-modality support
- Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) over Function space, as well as to provide additional Context to task
