Key Features

• Graph-Based Architecture: Construct dynamic workflows comprising interconnected TaskWorkers for highly customizable automation.
• Hybrid TaskWorkers: Combine conventional computations (e.g., API calls) with powerful LLM-driven operations, leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities.
• Type Safety with Pydantic: Ensure data integrity and type consistency across workflows with Pydantic-validated input and output.
• Intelligent Data Routing: Utilize type-aware routing to efficiently manage data flow between nodes, adapting to multiple downstream consumers.
• Input Provenance Tracking: Trace the lineage and origin of each Task as it flows through the workflow, enabling detailed analysis and debugging of complex processes.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Poetry (for development)

Installation

You can install PlanAI using pip:

pip install planai

For development, clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/provos/planai.git
cd planai
poetry install

Usage

PlanAI allows you to create complex, AI-enhanced workflows using a graph-based architecture. Here's a basic example:

from planai import Graph, TaskWorker, Task, LLMTaskWorker, llm_from_config

# Define custom TaskWorkers
class CustomDataProcessor(TaskWorker):
    output_types: List[Type[Task]] = [ProcessedData]

    def consume_work(self, task: RawData):
        processed_data = self.process(task.data)
        self.publish_work(ProcessedData(data=processed_data))

# Define an LLM-powered task
class AIAnalyzer(LLMTaskWorker):
    prompt: str ="Analyze the provided data and derive insights"
    output_types: List[Type[Task]] = [AnalysisResult]

    def consume_work(self, task: ProcessedData):
        super().consume_work(task)

# Create and run the workflow
graph = Graph(name="Data Analysis Workflow")
data_processor = CustomDataProcessor()
ai_analyzer = AIAnalyzer(
   llm=llm_from_config(provider="openai", model_name="gpt-4"))

graph.add_workers(data_processor, ai_analyzer)
graph.set_dependency(data_processor, ai_analyzer)

initial_data = RawData(data="Some raw data")
graph.run(initial_tasks=[(data_processor, initial_data)])

Monitoring Dashboard

PlanAI includes a built-in web-based monitoring dashboard that provides real-time insights into your graph execution. This feature can be enabled by setting run_dashboard=True when calling the graph.run() method.

Key features of the monitoring dashboard:

• Real-time Updates: The dashboard uses server-sent events (SSE) to provide live updates on task statuses without requiring page refreshes.
• Task Categories: Tasks are organized into three categories: Queued, Active, and Completed, allowing for easy tracking of workflow progress.
• Detailed Task Information: Each task displays its ID, type, and assigned worker. Users can click on a task to view additional details such as provenance and input provenance.

To enable the dashboard:

graph.run(initial_tasks, run_dashboard=True)

When enabled, the dashboard will be accessible at http://localhost:5000 by default. The application will continue running until manually terminated, allowing for ongoing monitoring of long-running workflows.

Note: Enabling the dashboard will block the main thread, so it's recommended for development and debugging purposes. For production use, consider implementing a separate monitoring solution.

Advanced Features

PlanAI supports advanced features like:

• Caching results with CachedTaskWorker
• Joining multiple task results with JoinedTaskWorker
• Integrating with various LLM providers (OpenAI, Ollama, etc.)

For more detailed examples and advanced usage, please refer to the examples/ directory in the repository.
