# Jido

> An open-source Elixir framework for building production-grade AI agents with fault tolerance, OTP supervision, and multi-agent coordination built in.

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.*
