Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when developing an agent application in Python or TypeScript, especially when the design includes tool use or agents delegating work to specialists.
Who it is for
- Python developers building AI agents or coordinating specialist agents.
- TypeScript developers building multi-agent applications.
- Teams that want to define agent roles, tools and handoffs in code.
Documented uses
- Create an agent with a defined role, instructions and tools.
- Coordinate a main agent with specialist agents through handoffs.
- Set a conditional requirement for a tool to be used at a specified step.
- Log tool calls through trajectory middleware in the illustrated Python example.
Requirements & limits
The repository identifies the project as open source under the Apache-2.0 license.
- Libraries are available for both Python and TypeScript; the documented installation uses pip or npm, respectively.
- The Python example uses Ollama with the
granite4.1:8bmodel and includes Wikipedia and Open-Meteo tools; these are example choices, not stated requirements. - Starter templates and framework documentation are linked from the repository for further setup.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install BeeAI Framework for Python or TypeScript
Install the BeeAI Framework library in a Python or TypeScript project.
Before you start
- Choose Python or TypeScript and have the corresponding package manager available.
Steps
For Python, install the library with the command below.
pip install beeai-frameworkFor TypeScript, install the library with the command below.
npm install beeai-framework
Expected outcome
The BeeAI Framework package is installed for the selected language.
Guide limitations
- The installation instructions do not specify language or package-manager versions, project setup, or runtime configuration.
Compare options for Agent orchestration
These projects document a common task and share a project role. This is a source-based comparison, not an execution benchmark or a guarantee of interchangeability.
| Project | Documented purpose | Platform | Access and requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beeai Framework | Create an agent with a defined role, instructions and tools. | CLI, Self-hosted, Server | The repository identifies the project as open source under the Apache-2.0 license. |
