### 1. Concept

The society module is one of the core modules of CAMEL. By simulating the information exchange process, this module studies the social behaviors among agents.

Currently, the society module aims to enable agents to collaborate autonomously toward completing tasks while keeping consistent with human intentions and requiring minimal human intervention. It includes two frameworks: `RolePlaying` and `BabyAGI`, which are used to run the interaction behaviors of agents to achieve objectives.

Taking `RolePlaying` as an example, this framework was designed in an instruction-following manner. These roles independently undertake the responsibilities of executing and planning tasks, respectively. The dialogue is continuously advanced through a turn-taking mechanism, thereby collaborating to complete tasks. The main concepts include:

* Task: a task can be as simple as an idea, initialized by an inception prompt.

* AI User: the agent who is expected to provide instructions.

* AI Assistant: the agent who is expected to respond with solutions that fulfill the instructions.

### 2. Types

#### 2.1 `RolePlaying`

`RolePlaying` is a unique cooperative agent framework of CAMEL. Through this framework, agents in CAMEL overcome numerous challenges, such as *role flipping*, *assistant repeats instructions*, *flake replies*, *infinite loop of messages*, and *conversation termination conditions.*

When using `RolePlaying` framework in CAMEL, predefined prompts are used to create unique initial settings for different agents. For example, if the user wants to initialize an assistant agent, the agent will be initialized with the following prompt.

* Never forget you are a `ASSISTANT_ROLE` and I am a `USER_ROLE`.

  *This assigns the chosen role to the assistant agent and provides it with information about the user’s role.*
* Never flip roles! Never instruct me!

  *This prevents agents from flipping roles. In some cases, we have observed the assistant and the user switching roles, where the assistant suddenly takes control and instructs the user, and the user follows those instructions.*
* You must decline my instruction honestly if you cannot perform the instruction due to physical, moral, legal reasons or your capability and explain the reasons.

  *This prohibits the agent from producing harmful, false, illegal, and misleading information.*
* Unless I say the task is completed, you should always start with: Solution: `<YOUR_SOLUTION>`. `<YOUR_SOLUTION>` should be specific, and provide preferable implementations and examples for task-solving.

  *This encourages the assistant to always responds in a consistent format, avoiding any deviation from the structure of the conversation, and preventing vague or incomplete responses, which we refer to as flake responses, such as "I will do something".*
* Always end your solution with: Next request.

  *This ensures that the assistant keeps the conversation going by requesting a new instruction to solve.*

### 2.2 `BabyAGI`

Babyagi is framework from "[Task-driven Autonomous Agent](https://github.com/yoheinakajima/babyagi)"

## 3. Get Started

### Installation

Ensure you have CAMEL AI installed in your Python environment:

```python theme={"system"}
!pip install "camel-ai==0.2.16"
```

### Setting Up API Keys

You'll need to set up your API keys for OpenAI.

```python theme={"system"}
import os
from getpass import getpass

# Prompt for the API key securely
openai_api_key = getpass('Enter your API key: ')
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = openai_api_key
```

Alternatively, if running on Colab, you could save your API keys and tokens as **Colab Secrets**, and use them across notebooks.

To do so, **comment out** the above **manual** API key prompt code block(s), and **uncomment** the following codeblock.

⚠️ Don't forget granting access to the API key you would be using to the current notebook.

```python theme={"system"}
# import os
# from google.colab import userdata

# os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = userdata.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")
```

### 3.1. Using `RolePlaying`

```python theme={"system"}
from colorama import Fore

from camel.societies import RolePlaying
from camel.utils import print_text_animated
```

```python theme={"system"}
