Tutorial: Use code interpreter sessions in LlamaIndex with Azure Container Apps

LlamaIndex is a powerful framework for building context-augmented language model (LLM) applications. When you build an AI agent with LlamaIndex, an LLM interprets user input and generates a response. The AI agent often struggles when it needs to perform mathematical and symbolic reasoning to produce a response. By integrating Azure Container Apps dynamic sessions with LlamaIndex, you give the agent a code interpreter to use to perform specialized tasks.

In this tutorial, you learn how to run a LlamaIndex AI agent in a web API. The API accepts user input and returns a response generated by the AI agent. The agent uses a code interpreter in dynamic sessions to perform calculations.

Run the sample app locally

Before you deploy the app to Azure Container Apps, you can run it locally to test it.

Clone the app

  1. Clone the Azure Container Apps sessions samples repository.

    git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/container-apps-dynamic-sessions-samples.git

  2. Change to the directory that contains the sample app:

    cd container-apps-dynamic-sessions-samples/llamaindex-python-webapi

[!INCLUDE container-apps/sessions-tutorial-configure-local]

Run the app

Before running the sample app, open main.py in an editor and review the code. The app uses FastAPI to create a web API that accepts a user message in the query string.

The following lines of code instantiate a AzureCodeInterpreterToolSpec and provide it to the LlamaIndex agent:

code_interpreter_tool = AzureCodeInterpreterToolSpec(
    pool_management_endpoint=pool_management_endpoint,
)
agent = ReActAgent.from_tools(code_interpreter_tool.to_tool_list(), llm=llm, verbose=True)

When it needs to perform calculations, the agent uses the code interpreter in AzureCodeInterpreterToolSpec to run the code. The code is executed in a session in the session pool. By default, a random session identifier is generated when you instantiate the tool. If the agent uses the same tool to run multiple Python code snippets, it uses the same session. To ensure each end user has a unique session, use a separate agent and tool for each user.

AzureCodeInterpreterToolSpec is available in the llama-index-tools-azure-code-interpreter package.
