## Architecture

architecture

**Spring AI Alibaba Admin** is a one-stop Agent platform that supports visualized Agent development, observability, evaluation, and MCP management, etc. It also integrates with open-source low-code platforms like Dify, enabling rapid migration from DSL to Spring AI Alibaba project. **Spring AI Alibaba Agent Framework** is an agent development framework that can quickly develop agents with built-in **Context Engineering** and **Human In The Loop** support. For scenarios requiring more complex process control, Agent Framework offers built-in workflows like `SequentialAgent`, `ParallelAgent`, `RoutingAgent`, `LoopAgent`. **Spring AI Alibaba Graph** serves as the underlying runtime of the Agent Framework, providing essential capabilities such as persistence, workflow orchestration, and streaming required for long-running stateful agents. Compared to the Agent Framework, users can build more flexible multi-agent workflows based on the Graph API. ## Core Features * **[Multi-Agent Orchestration](https://github.com/alibaba/spring-ai-alibaba/tree/main/examples/multiagent-patterns)**: Compose multiple agents with built-in patterns including `SequentialAgent`, `ParallelAgent`, `RoutingAgent`, and `LoopAgent` for complex task execution. * **[Multimodal Support](https://github.com/alibaba/spring-ai-alibaba/tree/main/examples/multimodal)**: ReactAgent with text and media input (image understanding). ReactAgent with tool based image or audio generation. * **[Voice Agent](https://github.com/alibaba/spring-ai-alibaba/tree/main/examples/voice-agent)**: WebSocket-based real-time voice agent that supports streaming audio or text input and responds with generated audio. * **[Context Engineering](https://java2ai.com/docs/frameworks/agent-framework/tutorials/hooks)**: Built-in best practices for context engineering policies to improve agent reliability and performance, including human-in-the-loop, context compaction, context editing, model & tool call limit, tool retry, planning, dynamic tool selection. * **[Graph-based Workflow](https://java2ai.com/docs/frameworks/graph-core/quick-start)**: Graph based workflow runtime and api for conditional routing, nested graphs, parallel execution, and state management. Export workflows to PlantUML and Mermaid formats. * **[A2A Support](https://java2ai.com/docs/frameworks/agent-framework/advanced/a2a)**: Agent-to-Agent communication support with Nacos integration, enabling distributed agent coordination and collaboration across services. * **[Rich Model, Tool and MCP Support](https://java2ai.com/integration/chatmodels/dashScope)**: Leveraging core concepts of Spring AI, supports multiple LLM providers (DashScope, OpenAI, etc.), tool calling, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). * **[One-stop Agent Platform](https://java2ai.com/ecosystem/admin/quick-start)**: Build agent in a visualized way, deploy agent without code or export as a standalone java project.
