Production-ready AI framework for building LLM-powered applications with unified tool calling across multiple providers

Orchestral

AI agent framework with unified tool calling across multiple LLM providers

---

Features

• Web-based conversation interface with persistence
• Support for Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), and Google (Gemini)
• Extensible tool system for file operations, code execution, and web search
• Real-time streaming responses with cost tracking
• Conversation management (rename, duplicate, delete, undo)

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12 or higher
• OpenAI API key (required for core functions)
• Additional provider keys optional (Anthropic, Google)

Installation

Mac/Linux:

git clone https://github.com/orchestralAI/orchestral-core.git
cd orchestral-core
./setup.sh

Windows:

git clone https://github.com/orchestralAI/orchestral-core.git
cd orchestral-core
setup.bat

The setup script will install dependencies and prompt you to configure API keys interactively.

Running the App

Activate the virtual environment:

source orchestral-env/bin/activate  # Mac/Linux
orchestral-env\Scripts\activate     # Windows

Start the web interface:

python demos/app_demo.py

The app will open at http://127.0.0.1:8000

!! NOTE: By default the agents have the ability to execute code on your computer

API Keys

The setup script will guide you through adding API keys. You can also edit .env manually:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-...        # Required
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...      # Optional
GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIza...            # Optional

Get your keys:

• OpenAI: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
• Anthropic: https://console.anthropic.com/
• Google: https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey

Using the Interface

• Send messages - Type and press Enter (Shift+Enter for new line)
• New conversation - Click "+" in sidebar
• Manage conversations - Click "⋯" to rename, duplicate, or delete
• Track costs - Click "Cost" button
• Undo - Remove last message
• Interrupt - Press Esc while agent is processing

Available Tools

• RunCommandTool - Execute shell commands
• RunPythonTool - Run Python code
• WriteFileTool - Create and modify files
• ReadFileTool - Read file contents
• WebSearchTool - Search the web

File operations are scoped to app/workspace/ for safety.
