Agent Runners
What Is an Agent Runner?
An Agent Runner is the component in AstrBot that executes Agent capabilities and handles AI-related workflows.
AstrBot includes a powerful built-in Agent Runner. You can also integrate third-party Agent Runner services like Dify, Coze, and Alibaba Bailian, or build your own.
If you already have a model provider that handles single requests, you still need an execution layer for multi-turn conversations, tool calling, and orchestration. That is exactly what an Agent Runner does.
