### Agent [¶](https://legacy-docs-v1.rasa.com/1.3.10/api/agent/#agent)

_class_ `rasa.core.agent.``Agent` ( _domain=None_, _policies=None_, _interpreter=None_, _generator=None_, _tracker_store=None_, _lock_store=None_, _action_endpoint=None_, _fingerprint=None_, _model_directory=None_, _model_server=None_, _remote_storage=None_, _path_to_model_archive=None_) [¶](https://legacy-docs-v1.rasa.com/1.3.10/api/agent/#rasa.core.agent.Agent)

The Agent class provides a convenient interface for the most important Rasa functionality.

This includes training, handling messages, loading a dialogue model, getting the next action, and handling a channel.

#### Example

```python
>>> from rasa.core.agent import Agent
>>> from rasa.core.interpreter import RasaNLUInterpreter
>>> agent = Agent.load("examples/restaurantbot/models/current")
>>> await agent.handle_text("hello")
