"AutoGen offers conversable LLM agents, which can be used to solve various tasks with human or automatic feedback, including tasks that require using tools via code.\n",
"In this notebook, we demonstrate how to use `AssistantAgent` and `UserProxyAgent` to write code and execute the code. Here `AssistantAgent` is an LLM-based agent that can write Python code (in a Python coding block) for a user to execute for a given task. `UserProxyAgent` is an agent which serves as a proxy for the human user to execute the code written by `AssistantAgent`, or automatically execute the code. Depending on the setting of `human_input_mode` and `max_consecutive_auto_reply`, the `UserProxyAgent` either solicits feedback from the human user or returns auto-feedback based on the result of code execution (success or failure and corresponding outputs) to `AssistantAgent`. `AssistantAgent` will debug the code and suggest new code if the result contains error. The two agents keep communicating to each other until the task is done.\n",
"In the example below, let's see how to use the agents in AutoGen to write a python script and execute the script. This process involves constructing a `AssistantAgent` to serve as the assistant, along with a `UserProxyAgent` that acts as a proxy for the human user. In this example demonstrated below, when constructing the `UserProxyAgent`, we select the `human_input_mode` to \"NEVER\". This means that the `UserProxyAgent` will not solicit feedback from the human user. It stops replying when the limit defined by `max_consecutive_auto_reply` is reached, or when `is_termination_msg()` returns true for the received message."
"To get the current date, we can use Python's `datetime` module. After that, we will need to retrieve the year-to-date (YTD) gain for both META (Meta Platforms, Inc.) and TESLA (Tesla, Inc.). We can do this by fetching the stock prices from the beginning of the year and the current stock prices, then calculating the percentage change.\n",
"Please save the above code in a file named `get_current_date.py` and execute it to get today's date. After that, we will proceed to the next step of fetching the stock data.\n",
"We will use Python to retrieve the stock data. For this purpose, we can use the `yfinance` library, which allows us to fetch historical market data from Yahoo Finance. If `yfinance` is not installed on your system, you will need to install it using `pip install yfinance`.\n",

" \"use_docker\": False, # Please set use_docker=True if docker is available to run the generated code. Using docker is safer than running the generated code directly.\n",
"The example above involves code execution. In AutoGen, code execution is triggered automatically by the `UserProxyAgent` when it detects an executable code block in a received message and no human user input is provided. This process occurs in a designated working directory, using a Docker container by default. Unless a specific directory is specified, AutoGen defaults to the `autogen/extensions` directory. Users have the option to specify a different working directory by setting the `work_dir` argument when constructing a new instance of the `UserProxyAgent`.\n",

"To write a blog post, we need to analyze the data to identify trends, significant changes, and any other notable points.

"On the other hand, TSLA, the electric vehicle pioneer, has faced a challenging period with its stock price declining by 18.43%. The dip reflects concerns over production delays, increased competition in the electric vehicle market, and a series of high-profile controversies surrounding its CEO. Despite these setbacks, loyal supporters of TSLA believe in the company's long-term vision and its potential to rebound as it addresses these challenges.\n",
"The contrasting trajectories of META and TSLA highlight the volatile nature of the stock market, where fortunes can shift rapidly based on consumer sentiment, market conditions, and internal company developments.
