Docling

What is the Docling tool?

The Docling tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to convert documents into markdown, text, html, json, and more. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This is a free tool — no API key or external account is needed. It works out of the box when you add it to any agent.

How to use Docling in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable Docling

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Docling" from the core category.

3. 3

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use Docling when relevant.

4. 4

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Docling:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.docling import DoclingTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Docling Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[DoclingTools()],
    instructions=["Use the docling tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a docling task")
