TaskWeaver: A Code-First Agent Framework

Qiao, Bo, Li, Liqun, Zhang, Xu et al.

Understand

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive abilities in natural language understanding and generation, leading to their widespread use in applications such as chatbots and virtual assistants.

However, existing LLM frameworks face limitations in handling domain-specific data analytics tasks with rich data structures.
Moreover, they struggle with flexibility to meet diverse user requirements.
To address these issues, TaskWeaver is proposed as a code-first framework for building LLM-powered autonomous agents.
