Agent File (.af) is an open file format for serializing stateful AI agents, packaging system prompts, persistent memory, tool configurations, and LLM settings into a portable file. This repository provides the format specification, example agents, and SDKs for importing and deploying .af files to Letta servers.

Use cases

  • share AI agents with persistent memory as files
  • checkpoint and version control agent state
  • transfer agents between compatible frameworks
  • import a prebuilt agent into my Letta server
  • distribute agents with personality and memory baked in

When to choose

  • you use Letta or a compatible framework and want portable, checkpointable agent state
  • you want to share or version-control agents with memory and tool configs as files

When to avoid

  • you need a general agent framework rather than a serialization format
  • your framework does not support the .af standard
