# 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.

```python
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,
)
```

`create_processor(preprocessor=None)`
- Instantiates a processor based on the set state of the agent.

_Return type:_ `MessageProcessor`

`async execute_action(sender_id, action, output_channel, policy, confidence)`
- Handle a single message.

_Return type:_ `DialogueStateTracker`

```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")
[u'how can I help you?']
```

_Return type:_ `Optional[List[Dict[str, Any]]]`
