Pydantic AI is a Python agent framework designed to help you quickly, confidently, and painlessly build production grade applications and workflows with Generative AI.

Why use Pydantic AI

Hello World Example

frompydantic_aiimportAgent# Define a very simple agent including the model to use, you can also set the model when running the agent.agent=Agent('anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-0',# Register static instructions using a keyword argument to the agent.# For more complex dynamically-generated instructions, see the example below.instructions='Be concise, reply with one sentence.',)# Run the agent synchronously, conducting a conversation with the LLM.result=agent.run_sync('Where does "hello world" come from?')print(result.output)"""The first known use of "hello, world" was in a 1974 textbook about the C programming language."""

Tools & Dependency Injection Example
