Solace Agent Mesh

The Solace Agent Mesh (SAM) is an open-source platform that tackles a fundamental challenge in modern AI development: while powerful AI models are readily available, the real complexity lies in connecting them to the data and systems where they can provide value. Data is often siloed across databases, SaaS platforms, APIs, and legacy systems, making it difficult to build AI applications that operate seamlessly across these boundaries. SAM provides a flexible foundation for AI applications where multiple agents can collaborate, each bringing their own specialized capabilities and data access. Whether you're an AI enthusiast experimenting with new models, or an enterprise developer building production systems, SAM gives you the tools to:

• Connect AI agents to real-world data sources and systems.
• Add SAM Gateways to provide event-based integrations or interactive UI connections.
• Monitor and debug AI interactions in real-time.
• Deploy solutions that scale from prototype to production.

Rather than trying to be a monolithic AI platform, SAM focuses on being an excellent integration layer. It brings together specialized agents - whether they're using local databases, accessing cloud APIs, or interfacing with enterprise systems - and helps them collaborate to solve complex problems.

Built on event-driven architecture technology from Solace, SAM provides the robust foundation needed for both experimental and production deployments.

Installation

1. The following command installs the Solace Agent Mesh CLI in your environment:

pip install solace-agent-mesh

1. Run the following SAM CLI command (solace-agent-mesh or sam) to verify your installation:

solace-agent-mesh --version

Quick Start

To get started with Solace Agent Mesh, follow these steps:

1. Install the CLI: Ensure solace-agent-mesh is installed.

2. Create a Project:
   Follow the prompts to create your project.

   mkdir my-agent-mesh && cd my-agent-mesh
   solace-agent-mesh init

   Enable the REST API interface when prompted.

3. Build the Project:

   solace-agent-mesh build

4. Run the Project:

   solace-agent-mesh run -e

   (Use -eb to combine build and run steps.)

5. Send a Request:

   Try the system by sending a request to the REST API gateway interface.

   curl --location 'http://localhost:5050/api/v1/request' \
   --header 'Authorization: Bearer None' \
   --form 'prompt="What is the capital of France?"' \
   --form 'stream="false"'

Why Use Solace Agent Mesh?

Building production-ready AI applications presents unique challenges. While it's relatively easy to create AI prototypes, deploying them in enterprise environments requires solving complex problems around integration, scalability, and observability. The Solace Agent Mesh addresses these challenges through:

• Composable Architecture: Start with a small number of agents and gateways. You can add more over time.

• Add Agents to Increase Capabilities: Each new agent adds more capabilities to the system. Adding a new agent isn't additive - it is exponential. With each agent being able to enhance all other agents as they collaborate for more and more complex tasks.

• Add Gateways to Increase Use Cases: Each new gateway opens up new use cases for the system. A new gateway can provide a new interface to the system, with a different system purpose and response rules.

• Event-Driven Design: Built on proven event-driven architecture principles, providing complete decoupling of components. This makes the system highly flexible and resilient, while enabling real-time monitoring of every interaction.

• Enterprise-Ready: Designed from the ground up for production deployments that incorporates the experience from Solace in building mission-critical distributed systems.
