Griptape Nodes

Griptape Nodes is a powerful, visual, node-based workflow builder designed for professional artists and creators. Build and execute complex AI workflows through the cloud-based Griptape Nodes IDE - an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

This repository contains the Griptape Nodes Engine - the local component that runs securely on your machine, providing a performant foundation for workflow execution. The engine is published to PyPI as the griptape-nodes-engine library and is launched by the griptape-nodes application. To develop against the engine with a local checkout, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

🚀 Quick Installation

Download Griptape Nodes Desktop — a bundled app that includes both the engine and the editor. No additional setup required.

Option 2: Manual Engine Install

For users who prefer to install the engine directly:

  1. 🔐 Login: Visit Griptape Nodes and log in or sign up using your Griptape Cloud credentials.

  2. 💾 Install Engine: Install the engine using uv:

    uv tool install griptape-nodes
    
  3. ⚙️ Initial Configuration (Automatic on First Run):

    • The first time you run the engine command (griptape-nodes or gtn), it will guide you through the initial setup:
    • 📁 Workspace Directory: You'll be prompted to choose a directory where Griptape Nodes will store configurations, project files, secrets (.env), and generated assets. You can accept the default (<current_directory>/GriptapeNodes) or specify a custom path.
    • 🔑 Griptape Cloud API Key: Return to the Griptape Nodes setup page in your browser, click "Generate API Key", copy the key, and paste it when prompted in the terminal.
  4. 🚀 Start the Engine: After configuration, start the engine by running:

    griptape-nodes
    

    (or the shorter alias gtn)

  5. 🔗 Connect Workflow Editor: Refresh the Griptape Nodes Workflow Editor page in your browser. It should now connect to your running engine.

You're now ready to start building flows! 🎉 For more detailed setup options and troubleshooting, see the full Documentation.
