Interactor

A modular AI interaction framework with streaming, tool calling, context history, session management, retry/backoff logic, multi-provider support, and optional real-time logging.

Built for testability, extensibility, and CLI or programmatic use.

Features

• Supports OpenAI, Ollama, NVIDIA, Google (Gemini), Anthropic out-of-the-box
• Streamed output with markdown rendering
• Tool calling with auto-registration from Python functions
• Token-aware message cycling (to respect context limits)
• Persistent sessions with metadata and CRUD via session.py
• Optional per-instance logging of all interactions
• Retry logic for rate-limiting and transient failures
• CLI runner with interactive loop and safe shell command execution

    log_path="~/interactor.log"

def say_hello(name: str) -> str:
