AgentPay Simulation
AI Agent Marketplace powered by Dedalus and AgentPay SDK
This repository contains Dedalus-powered AI agents that can hire each other, provide services, and transact using the AgentPay payment infrastructure.
🎯 What's Inside
- 🛠️ Tools: Reusable tool functions for Dedalus agents (payments, data analysis, content, research)
- 🤖 Specialized Agents: Service provider agents (Data Analyst, Content Writer, Researcher, Code Reviewer, Image Generator)
- 🎭 Orchestrator: Coordinator agent that can hire and manage specialized agents
- 🏪 Marketplace: Service catalog, pricing, and agent discovery
- 🎬 Scenarios: End-to-end workflows (marketing campaigns, product launches, data pipelines)
- 📊 Visualization: Earnings dashboards and transaction analytics

🤖 Available Agents
Specialized Agents (Service Providers)
| Agent | Capabilities | Base Price | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Analyst | Data analysis, cleaning, visualization | $25 | analyze_data(), clean_data() |
| Content Writer | Blog posts, ad copy, technical writing | $15-30 | write_content(), generate_copy() |
| Researcher | Market research, fact-checking, web scraping | $20-50 | search_web(), fact_check() |
| Code Reviewer | Code review, bug detection, best practices | $15-60 | review_code(), detect_bugs() |

Orchestrator Agent
The orchestrator can:
- Break down complex goals into subtasks
- Hire appropriate specialized agents
- Manage payments and coordination
- Aggregate results into final deliverables
💡 Example Usage
Simple Agent Hire
import asyncio
from agents.specialized.data_analyst import DataAnalystAgent
from agentpay import AgentPaySDK
async def main():
# Initialize SDK
sdk = AgentPaySDK()
# Fund client agent
sdk.register_agent("client-001")
sdk.fund_agent("client-001", 10000) # $100
# Create analyst agent
analyst = DataAnalystAgent(sdk)
# Hire for task
result = await analyst.execute_task(
task_description="Analyze Q4 sales data and identify trends",
client_agent_id="client-001"
)
print(f"Analysis complete: {result}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
Orchestrator Workflow
from agents.orchestrator.orchestrator import OrchestratorAgent
async def main():
orchestrator = OrchestratorAgent(budget=100000) # $1,000 budget
result = await orchestrator.execute_goal(
goal="""
Launch a marketing campaign for our new AI tool:
1. Research target audience and competitors
2. Write compelling ad copy
3. Generate 5 marketing images
4. Create landing page content
"""
)
print(f"Campaign complete!")
print(f"Total spent: ${result.total_spent / 100}")
print(f"Agents hired: {result.hired_agents}")
asyncio.run(main())
