In a detailed tutorial, developers learn to construct a Graph Agent framework using the Google Gemini API. The design treats tasks as nodes in a directed graph, each handling input, logic, decision, or output. Python scripts drive core functionality, NetworkX models the graph structure, and matplotlib generates visual diagrams. Two end-to-end examples—a Research Assistant and a Problem Solver—illustrate how the framework supports complex multi-step reasoning workflows.
The tutorial starts with installing essential Python libraries—google-generativeai for Gemini access, networkx for graph modeling, and matplotlib for plotting connections. After loading these packages, the Gemini API client is initialized with an API key. Inline code segments accompany each step, letting readers execute hands-on examples locally and observe intermediate output as the agent proceeds through the full graph pipeline in real time.
Next, a NodeType enumeration classifies nodes into four categories: input, process, decision, and output. A dataclass named AgentNode captures metadata for each unit, including an identifier, type, prompt template, an optional execution function, and a list of upstream dependencies. This structure enables dynamic assembly of the agent graph and streamlines the logic that governs execution order at runtime.
In the first example, a research agent is built by adding nodes in sequence. A topic input node collects the initial query. Process nodes then handle research planning, literature review, and data analysis. A decision node evaluates the findings, and an output node assembles a detailed research report. This pipeline showcases how each component contributes to a coherent workflow with clear handoffs at every stage.
The second example demonstrates a problem-solving agent. It starts with a node that captures the problem statement. Process nodes break down the issue, propose multiple solution paths, and compare their feasibility. A decision node selects the most promising approach. An output node then produces a step-by-step implementation plan, detailing actions and resource needs for resolving the problem in an automated, structured manner.
To demonstrate both agents, the tutorial executes them step by step. First, the graph is rendered with matplotlib, showing node labels and edges that reflect dependencies. The input is fed into the initial node, and a topological sort determines execution order. Each node issues a tailored prompt to the Gemini API, applies its custom function to the response, and forwards the result to downstream nodes. Visual output and console logs help track progress and debug the flow.
Throughout the guide, each node relies on context-aware prompts and uses Gemini’s generative strength to produce intermediate text. Results pass through custom parsing or transformation functions before reaching the next node. This modular design clarifies the reasoning steps and lets developers swap or extend individual nodes without altering the entire system, making updates and maintenance simpler.
