Module praisonaiagents

The praisonaiagents package provides a lightweight, high-performance framework for building AI agents with support for multi-agent orchestration, memory, knowledge bases, and tool integration.

Quick Start

from praisonaiagents import Agent

agent = Agent(instructions="You are a helpful assistant")
response = agent.start("Hello!")
print(response)

Import Patterns

The SDK supports multiple import styles for different use cases:

Simple Import (Recommended for Quick Start)

from praisonaiagents import Agent, AgentTeam, Task, tool, Tools

Organized Imports (Recommended for Projects)

For larger projects, use sub-package imports for cleaner code organization:

# Core classes from root
from praisonaiagents import Agent, AgentTeam, Task

# Configuration from config sub-package
from praisonaiagents import MemoryConfig, OutputConfig, ExecutionConfig

# Tools from tools sub-package
from praisonaiagents import tool, BaseTool, Tools

# Memory from memory sub-package
from praisonaiagents import Memory, FileMemory

# Workflows from workflows sub-package
from praisonaiagents import AgentFlow, Pipeline, Route, Parallel

Namespace Style

Use the pa. namespace for exploratory development:

import praisonaiagents as pa

agent = pa.Agent(instructions="...")
config = pa.config.MemoryConfig(user_id="u123")
memory = pa.memory.Memory(config=config)

Backwards Compatibility

All legacy imports continue to work via lazy loading:

# These all work (backwards compatible)
from praisonaiagents import MemoryConfig  # via __getattr__
from praisonaiagents import AgentFlow      # via __getattr__
from praisonaiagents import Memory        # via __getattr__

Sub-Packages Reference

Sub-Package	Key Exports	Description
