OpenAI Agents Template

A Val Town template for building AI agents using the OpenAI Agents SDK.

Want model flexibility? Check out the Vercel AI SDK Agent template — same agent pattern, but you can swap in Anthropic, Google, or any other provider by changing one line.

An agent is inference in a loop with tools: an LLM receives a system prompt, reads from and writes to an environment through tools, and loops until it decides it's done.
