Fal

What is the Fal tool?

The Fal tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to media generation via fal.ai platform. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a FAL_KEY environment variable. Get your API key at fal.ai.

How to use Fal in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable Fal

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Fal" from the ai-media category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your FAL_KEY in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use Fal when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for Fal.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Fal:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.fal import FalTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Fal Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[FalTools()],
    instructions=["Use the fal tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a fal task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set FAL_KEY
