Jido

Jido is an open-source Elixir agent framework designed to build and run autonomous AI agents in production environments. It leverages the BEAM runtime's process isolation, OTP supervision, and massive concurrency to deliver fault-tolerant, self-healing agent systems. Teams use Jido to build everything from single-purpose assistants to coordinated multi-agent workflows, all testable and observable like regular code.

• Agent Definition — Define agents with typed state, actions, and system prompts using a simple use Jido.AI.Agent macro; get started with mix igniter.install jido.
• Fault Tolerance & Self-Healing — Each agent runs in its own supervised OTP process; crashes trigger automatic restarts with clean state, requiring no manual recovery.
• Multi-Agent Coordination — Agents communicate through typed Actions and Signals rather than prompt chains, making each step independently debuggable and testable.
• Built-in Observability — Telemetry and tracing are built into every agent, enabling full workflow visibility across processes before problems reach users.
• LLM Integration via jido_ai — Add LLM reasoning, token budgets, tool calling, and streaming support as an optional package without rewriting your app.
• Modular Ecosystem — Start with the core jido package and incrementally add jido_ai, req_llm, jido_browser, ash_jido, jido_messaging, and jido_otel as needed.
• Massive Concurrency — The BEAM scheduler supports thousands of concurrent agent processes with true parallelism—no thread pools or async/await complexity.
• Broad Use Cases — Powers coding agents, research and synthesis pipelines, document processing, customer support bots, DevOps monitoring, and data pipelines.
