AI agents are exploding in popularity, but most builders still face a familiar wall: too many frameworks, too much wiring, and too many assumptions about how an agent should work. I wanted something simpler—something playful, modular, and powerful enough for real developer workflows.
So I built FrankenAgent Lab.
Inspired by the Frankenstein metaphor, FrankenAgent Lab turns AI agent building into an act of assembly. Instead of stitching code together, you snap modular “body parts” into place. The result is a system that developers, researchers, and even non-coders can use to design and deploy AI agents in minutes.
🧠 The Idea: Agents as Creatures You Assemble
Every agent is defined using five conceptual parts:
Head — the LLM brain, model config, and system behavior
Arms — the tools: web search, HTTP clients, Python exec, MCP servers
Legs — execution mode: single agent, workflow, or multi-agent team
Heart — memory, context, and retrieval
Spine — safety guardrails and limits
Describe these pieces in a simple YAML or JSON file, and the runtime brings your creation to life. No frameworks to learn. No coding required. Just declarative agent design.
🎨 Visual Builder: Drag, Drop, Configure
FrankenAgent Lab now includes a full visual builder built with React + TypeScript.
You can:
Drag and drop components
Configure models and tools
Preview live YAML
Validate blueprints instantly
Export and deploy in one step
If you’ve ever wished building agents felt more like building a creature in a lab—this is exactly that.
🚀 Under the Hood
Behind the cinematic metaphor sits a real, production-ready architecture:
FastAPI backend powered by the Agno framework
Execution tracing for every tool call
JWT + OAuth login (Google & GitHub)
Agent marketplace for sharing blueprints
SQLite locally, PostgreSQL + Redis in production
Google Cloud deployment with Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, and Cloud KMS
It’s a system built for speed, reproducibility, and experimentation.
🌐 Why I Built It
Hackathons are full of agent demos, but few give you the flexibility to mix reasoning, tools, memory, and execution modes without wrestling code. FrankenAgent Lab aims to lower the barrier dramatically. Whether you're a developer, researcher, or curious maker, you can build and test agents the way you imagine them—not the way a framework dictates.
“No frameworks. No coding. Just FrankenAgenting.”
