<h2 id="what-is-docker-agent">What is Docker Agent?</h2>
<p>Docker Agent is Docker&#39;s cutting-edge AI agent framework that lets you create and run intelligent AI agents with specialized knowledge, tools, and capabilities. Think of it as building a team of virtual experts that work together to solve problems for you.</p>
<p>Built on modern AI technologies, Docker Agent offers:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Multi-agent architecture</strong> - Create specialized agents for different domains</li>
<li><strong>Rich tool ecosystem</strong> - Agents can use external tools and APIs via the MCP protocol</li>
<li><strong>Smart delegation</strong> - Agents automatically route tasks to the most suitable specialist</li>
<li><strong>YAML configuration</strong> - Simple, declarative model and agent configuration</li>
<li><strong>Advanced reasoning</strong> - Built-in &#34;think&#34;, &#34;todo&#34; and &#34;memory&#34; tools for complex problem-solving</li>
<li><strong>Multiple AI providers</strong> - Support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Docker Model Runner</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="key-features">Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Create intelligent AI agents with specialized capabilities</li>
<li>Build multi-agent teams that collaborate on complex tasks</li>
<li>Use Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools for extended functionality</li>
<li>Simple YAML-based configuration</li>
<li>Support for both cloud-based and local AI models</li>
<li>Push and pull agents from Docker Hub</li>
<li>Built-in reasoning and memory capabilities</li>
<li>Docker-based deployment for easy management</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="system-requirements">System Requirements</h2>
<p>Docker Agent is installed as a binary on Ubuntu 24.04 and requires Docker for containerized AI models and tools.</p>
