Giphy

What is the Giphy tool?

The Giphy tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to search and retrieve gifs from giphy. 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 tool requires a GIPHY_API_KEY environment variable. Get your API key at developers.giphy.com.

How to use Giphy 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 Giphy

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Giphy" from the entertainment category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your GIPHY_API_KEY in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

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

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for Giphy.

Python code example

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

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.giphy import GiphyTools

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

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

Install with: pip install agno # + set GIPHY_API_KEY
