What it is
Jido is an autonomous agent framework for Elixir, built for workflows and multi-agent systems. It defines agents, actions, signals, and directives, and runs them with supervision and fault tolerance. The ecosystem includes core jido and optional packages like jido_ai, req_llm, jido_action, and jido_signal.
How it works
- Agents hold state and implement cmd/2; actions transform state and may return directives.
- Signals route events into the system; directives describe runtime-owned external effects.
- The runtime uses OTP-based supervision trees; there are multiple orchestration and execution strategies (e.g., Direct, FSM).
- The ecosystem supports multi-agent orchestration with plan-based workflows and durable groups of agents.
Getting started
Installation (Manual)
Add jido to dependencies:
def deps do
[
{:jido, "~> 2.0"}
]
end
Define a Jido instance and supervision:
# In lib/my_app/jido.ex
defmodule MyApp.Jido do
use Jido, otp_app: :my_app
end
Configure the app:
config :my_app, MyApp.Jido,
max_tasks: 1000,
agent_pools: []
Add to supervision:
children = [
MyApp.Jido
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
Quick Start (example)
Define an agent, an action, and execute commands as shown in the README examples.
