The term "AgentState" typically refers to the internal state of an agent in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI), multi-agent systems, or agent-based modeling. This state helps the agent make decisions, perform actions, and adapt to its environment.
An agent is any entity that can perceive its environment and take actions to achieve goals. The AgentState refers to the data or memory the agent uses to decide what to do next.
Depending on the context, AgentState
might include:
Perceptions / Observations
What the agent knows about the environment.
Internal Variables
Such as hunger level (for a game character), battery level (for a robot), or task status (for a bot).
Beliefs / Knowledge Base
Facts the agent considers true.
Goals / Intentions
What the agent wants to achieve.
Plan or Policy
A strategy the agent is following.
History / Memory
Information about past actions or outcomes.
class AgentState:
def __init__(self):
self.location = (0, 0)
self.energy = 100
self.goal = "Find food"
self.memory = []
def update_state(self, perception):
# Update location, energy, etc. based on perception

AI agents in games
Reinforcement Learning agents
Robotic systems
Chatbots or Virtual Assistants
Autonomous vehicles
In frameworks like LangChain, AgentState
might refer to the current inputs, memory, and context the AI agent uses in conversational or task-based workflows.
