LlamaIndex Integration
Deploy LlamaIndex agent workflows with RunAgentPrerequisites
- Basic understanding of LlamaIndex
- Completed Deploy Your First Agent tutorial
- Python 3.8 or higher
Overview
LlamaIndex is a data framework for building LLM applications with advanced indexing, retrieval, and agent workflows. RunAgent makes it easy to deploy LlamaIndex agents and access them from any programming language.Installation & Setup
1. Install LlamaIndex
2. Set Environment Variables
LlamaIndex requires API keys for LLM providers:3. Quick Start with RunAgent
Quick Start
1. Project Structure
After initialization:2. Configuration
The generatedrunagent.config.json
:
3. Create .env
File

Here’s a simple LlamaIndex agent with a calculator tool:Advanced LlamaIndex Patterns
1. RAG Agent with Document Indexing
2. Multi-Tool Agent
3. Workflow-Based Agent
4. Agent with Memory

Best Practices
1. Tool Design
- Keep tools simple and focused
- Provide clear docstrings for LLM understanding
- Handle errors gracefully within tools
- Use type hints for parameters
2. Agent Configuration
- Choose appropriate LLM models for your use case
- Set reasonable temperature values
- Configure memory limits appropriately
- Use verbose mode during development
3. RAG Implementation
- Index documents efficiently
- Choose appropriate chunk sizes
- Use optimal similarity thresholds
- Implement caching for repeated queries
4. Memory Management
- Set appropriate token limits for memory
- Clean up old agent instances
- Implement user-based memory isolation
- Persist important memories to database
5. Error Handling
- Always wrap async operations in try-catch
- Return structured error responses
- Log errors for debugging
- Provide helpful error messages
Common Patterns
Tool-Based Pattern
Simple agents with specific capabilities:RAG Pattern
Knowledge-augmented responses:Workflow Pattern
Multi-step processing:Memory Pattern
Context-aware conversations:Troubleshooting
Common Issues
1. API Key Not Found- Solution: Set
OPENAI_API_KEY
in environment - Verify key is valid and has credits
- Check
.env
file is loaded properly
- Solution: Install correct LlamaIndex version
- Check all required packages are installed
- Verify virtual environment is activated
- Solution: Check LLM configuration
- Verify tools are properly registered
- Review system prompts for clarity
- Solution: Adjust similarity thresholds
- Review document chunking strategy
- Check embedding model quality
- Verify document indexing completed
- Solution: Use
astream_chat
instead ofachat
- Check async implementation
- Verify streaming is supported by the model
Debug Tips
Enable verbose logging:Performance Optimization
1. Agent Caching
Cache agent instances:2. Index Optimization
Optimize RAG indexing:3. Memory Management
