[Waldiez](https://waldiez.io) is an open-source, drag-and-drop platform that lets developers **design**, **orchestrate**, and **execute** multi-agent workflows across LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, NVIDIA, Ollama, and more—backed by the AG2 multi-agent engine.

## 🌟 Core Capabilities

## 🛠️ Installation & Setup

### 1. Playground (No install)
Use the web-based editor to visually design flows. It's **design-only**, ideal for quick mockups.

### 2. Python SDK (via PyPI)

#### CLI
```bash
pip install waldiez

# Convert a Waldiez flow to a python script or a jupyter notebook
waldiez convert --file /path/to/a/flow.waldiez --output /path/to/an/output/flow[.py|.ipynb]
# Convert and run the script, optionally force generation if the output file already exists
waldiez run --file /path/to/a/flow.waldiez --output /path/to/an/output/flow[.py|.ipynb] [--force]
```

#### JupyterLab
```bash
pip install waldiez[jupyter]
# installs jupyterlab with waldiez extension for designing, converting and running waldiez flows
```

#### Studio
```bash
pip install waldiez[studio]
# installs FastAPI-based app for designing, converting and running waldiez flows
```

### 3. Docker
Use prebuilt images:

- `waldiez/waldiez` – CLI
- `waldiez/jupyter` – JupyterLab
- `waldiez/studio` – FastAPI web UI

```bash
docker pull waldiez/waldiez
docker pull waldiez/jupyter
docker pull waldiez/studio
```

### 4. VS Code Extension
Install the Waldiez [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Waldiez.waldiez-vscode) for in-editor visual flow design.

## 🔬 Usage Workflow

### Design
Build workflows visually—add agents, models, tools, and set the data flow order.

### Orchestrate
Assign agent roles, handoffs and communication patterns.

### Execute
Use CLI, Docker, Jupyter, VS Code or Studio to run flows. Export to Python or notebook formats.

### Monitor & Export
View real-time logs, visualize cost analysis, and then export results (CSV, JSON) for further analysis.

## 🕹️ Remote execution

Waldiez Runner orchestrates execution in isolated environments via:

- **AG2 + FastStream** for isolated flow execution
- **FastAPI + Taskiq** for task management
- **Redis + WebSocket** for real-time I/O
- **PostgreSQL** for persistence
