OpenCV

What is the OpenCV tool?

The OpenCV tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to computer vision and webcam access via opencv. 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 OpenCV 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 OpenCV

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "OpenCV" from the ai-media category.

3. 3

   Test in chat

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

4. 4

   Export Python code

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

Python code example

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

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.opencv import OpenCVTools

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

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

Install with: pip install agno
