🌟 Why PraisonAI?

📘 Using Python Code

1. Single Agent

from praisonaiagents import Agent
agent = Agent(instructions="You are a helpful AI assistant")
agent.start("Write a movie script about a robot in Mars")

2. Multi Agents

from praisonaiagents import Agent, Agents

research_agent = Agent(instructions="Research about AI")
summarise_agent = Agent(instructions="Summarise research agent's findings")
agents = Agents(agents=[research_agent, summarise_agent])
agents.start()

3. MCP (Model Context Protocol)

from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP

# stdio - Local NPX/Python servers
agent = Agent(tools=MCP("npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory"))

# Streamable HTTP - Production servers
agent = Agent(tools=MCP("https://api.example.com/mcp"))

# WebSocket - Real-time bidirectional
agent = Agent(tools=MCP("wss://api.example.com/mcp", auth_token="token"))

# With environment variables
agent = Agent(
    tools=MCP(
        command="npx",
        args=["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search"],
        env={"BRAVE_API_KEY": "your-key"}
    )
)

📖 Full MCP docs — stdio, HTTP, WebSocket, SSE transports

4. Custom Tools

from praisonaiagents import Agent, tool

@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search the web for information."""
    return f"Results for: {query}"

@tool
def calculate(expression: str) -> float:
    """Safely evaluate a numeric arithmetic expression."""
    import ast
    import operator
    
    # Define allowed operations
    _OPS = {
        ast.Add: operator.add,
        ast.Sub: operator.sub,
        ast.Mult: operator.mul,
        ast.Div: operator.truediv,
        ast.Pow: operator.pow,
        ast.USub: operator.neg,
        ast.UAdd: operator.pos,
    }
    
    def _safe_eval(node):
        if isinstance(node, ast.Constant) and isinstance(node.value, (int, float)):
            return node.value
        elif isinstance(node, ast.BinOp) and type(node.op) in _OPS:
            return _OPS[type(node.op)](_safe_eval(node.left), _safe_eval(node.right))
        elif isinstance(node, ast.UnaryOp) and type(node.op) in _OPS:
            return _OPS[type(node.op)](_safe_eval(node.operand))
        else:
            raise ValueError("Unsupported expression")
    
    try:
        return _safe_eval(ast.parse(expression, mode="eval").body)
    except (ValueError, SyntaxError, TypeError, ZeroDivisionError, OverflowError):
        raise ValueError("Invalid arithmetic expression")

agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant",
    tools=[search, calculate]
)
agent.start("Search for AI news and calculate 15*4")

⚠️ Security Note: Never use eval(), exec(), or subprocess in tool functions that process LLM-generated or user-supplied input. Always validate and sanitize inputs to prevent code injection attacks. 📖 Full tools docs — BaseTool, tool packages, 100+ built-in tools

5. Persistence (Databases)

from praisonaiagents import Agent, db

agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    db=db(database_url="postgresql://localhost/mydb"),
    session_id="my-session"
)
agent.chat("Hello!")  # Auto-persists messages, runs, traces

📖 Full persistence docs — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, and 20+ more

6. PraisonAI Claw 🦞 (Dashboard UI)

Connect your AI agents to Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp and more — all from a single command.

pip install "praisonai[claw]"
praisonai claw

Required Environment Variables

Copy .env.example to .env and configure the following variables:

Open http://localhost:8082 — the dashboard comes with 13 built-in pages: Chat, Agents, Memory, Knowledge, Channels, Guardrails, Cron, and more. Add messaging channels directly from the UI.

📖 Full Claw docs — platform tokens, CLI options, Docker, and YAML agent mode

7. Langflow Integration 🔗 (Visual Flow Builder)

Build multi-agent workflows visually with drag-and-drop components in Langflow.

pip install "praisonai[flow]"
praisonai flow

Open http://localhost:7861 — use the Agent and Agent Team components to create sequential or parallel workflows. Connect Chat Input → Agent Team → Chat Output for instant multi-agent pipelines.

📖 Full Flow docs — visual agent building, component reference, and deployment

8. PraisonAI UI 🤖 (Clean Chat)

Lightweight chat interface for your AI agents.

pip install "praisonai[ui]"
praisonai ui

📄 Using YAML (No Code)

Example 1: Two Agents Working Together

Create agents.yaml:

framework: praisonai
topic: "Write a blog post about AI"

agents:
  researcher:
    role: Research Analyst
    goal: Research AI trends and gather information
    instructions: "Find accurate information about AI trends"
    
  writer:
    role: Content Writer
    goal: Write engaging blog posts
    instructions: "Write clear, engaging content based on research"

Run with:

praisonai agents.yaml

The agents automatically work together sequentially

Example 2: Agent with Custom Tool

Create two files in the same folder:

agents.yaml:

framework: praisonai
topic: "Calculate the sum of 25 and 15"

agents:
  calculator_agent:
    role: Calculator
    goal: Perform calculations
    instructions: "Use the add_numbers tool to help with calculations"
    tools:
      - add_numbers

tools.py:

def add_numbers(a: float, b: float) -> float:
    """
    Add two numbers together.
    
    Args:
        a: First number
        b: Second number
    
    Returns:
        The sum of a and b
    """
    return a + b

Run with:

praisonai agents.yaml

💡 Tips:

• Use the function name (e.g., add_numbers) in the tools list, not the file name
• Tools in tools.py are automatically discovered
• The function's docstring helps the AI understand how to use it
