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.
✨ Key Features:
- 🎯 Visual Workflow Editor: Design and connect nodes representing different AI tasks, tools, and logic through the cloud-based IDE
- 🏠 Local Engine: Run workflows securely on your own machine or infrastructure
- 🐍 Portable Python Workflows: Workflows are saved as self-executable Python files for portability, debugability, and learning
- 🌐 Multi-Device Access: Client/server architecture lets you access your workflows from any device
- 🧩 Extensible: Build your own custom nodes and libraries to extend functionality
- ⚡ Scriptable Interface: Interact with and control flows programmatically
