Seeking Help with SmolAgents Integration for Trademark Predictor App 🚀
Hi Hugging Face community!I’m a new/learning developer working on a project that usesHugging Face’s new SmolAgents library, and I’m encountering some challenges in getting everything to function smoothly. I’d greatly appreciate your advice and expertise!Hereis the repo on GitHub.Project OverviewThe app processes semi-structured trademark dispute case outcomes to generate predictive insights. Here’s the current tech stack:Text Extraction:Google Document AI for parsing PDF case files.Embedding Creation:Legal-BERT for generating vector embeddings from the case data.Search & Storage:Pinecone for vector storage and efficient semantic search.Task Orchestration:SmolAgents, which I’m aiming to use to streamline workflows.GoalI’m trying to use SmolAgents to:Automate the orchestration of text extraction, embedding creation, and storage.Set up custom tools for agent interactions with Pinecone and Document AI.Fine-tune agent behaviours to ensure robust and reliable task execution.ChallengesTool Definition:Struggling to define and implement custom tools for SmolAgents to interact with the existing pipeline components.Agent Debugging:Facing errors when agents attempt to connect or pass data between Pinecone, Document AI, and Legal-BERT.Prompt Engineering:Finding it difficult to design effective prompts for SmolAgents to handle multi-step workflows.What I’ve TriedFollowed theSmolAgents documentationto set up basic agents.Tested individual pipeline components (e.g., Pinecone queries, Legal-BERT embeddings), which work fine in isolation.Experimented with a few basic prompts, but the agents don’t seem to chain tasks as expected.What I NeedGuidance on implementingcustom toolswithin SmolAgents to interact with third-party services (e.g., Pinecone, Google APIs).Best practices for debuggingmulti-step workflowswith SmolAgents.Examples or insights on crafting effectivepromptsfor SmolAgents in complex use cases.Environment DetailsSmolAgents Version:Latest (as of January 2025)Hugging Face Transformers Version:4.xPython Version:3.xRunning on a local machine (Linux-based) and testing some components in a cloud environment.I’m happy to share more specifics about my setup or the code if it helps! If anyone has experience working with SmolAgents or similar workflows, your input would be incredibly valuable. Thanks in advance!
