pulsebot 0.5.0

A lightweight, stream-native AI agent powered by Timeplus

PulseBot

Stream-native AI Agent powered by Timeplus

PulseBot is a lightweight, extensible AI agent framework that uses Timeplus streaming database as its backbone for real-time message routing, observability, and memory storage.

✨ Features

• Stream-Native Architecture - All communication flows through Timeplus streams
• Multi-Provider LLM Support - Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, and NVIDIA
• Vector Memory - Semantic search using embeddings stored in Timeplus
• SQL-Native Scheduling - Timeplus Tasks replace traditional cron jobs
• Interactive Workspaces - Build and publish dynamic artifacts and runnable web apps
• Extensible Skills - Plugin-based tool system with OpenClaw compatibility and ClawHub registry
• Multi-Channel - Telegram, webchat, with easy extension to Slack/WhatsApp
• Real-Time Observability - All LLM calls and tool executions logged to streams
• Production Ready - Docker deployment, async architecture, structured logging

🏗️ Architecture

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Timeplus or Proton

Installation

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/timeplus-io/PulseBot.git
cd PulseBot

# Install package
pip install -e .

# Generate default config
pulsebot init

Configuration

Edit config.yaml with your API keys:

agent:
  name: "PulseBot"
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"  # or use ollama model

providers:
  anthropic:
    api_key: ${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}
  
  # For local testing with Ollama
  ollama:
    enabled: true
    host: "http://localhost:11434"
    default_model: "llama3"

workspace:
  base_dir: "./workspaces"
  workspace_port: 8001
  internal_api_key: "${WORKSPACE_INTERNAL_KEY}"

Using Ollama (Local Testing)

# Install Ollama (macOS)
brew install ollama

# Pull a model
ollama pull llama3

# Start Ollama server
ollama serve

# Update config.yaml to use Ollama
# Set agent.provider: "ollama" and agent.model: "llama3"

Setup & Run

# Start the agent (streams are initialized automatically on first run)
pulsebot run

# Or start the API server
pulsebot serve

🐳 Docker Deployment

# Set environment variables
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_token

# Start all services
docker-compose up -d

This starts:

• Timeplus - Streaming database (ports 8123, 3218, 8463)
• PulseBot Agent - Message processing
• PulseBot API - REST/WebSocket interface (port 8000)

📖 CLI Commands

Command	Description
pulsebot run	Start the agent loop

AgentSkills.io & OpenClaw Support

PulseBot supports the agentskills.io standard and OpenClaw extensions for external skill packages.

OpenClaw adds runtime requirement checking and ClawHub registry integration:

• Declare required binaries, environment variables, and OS support in SKILL.md
• Install skills directly from ClawHub with pulsebot skill install <slug>
• Automatic integrity verification with SHA256 checksums
• Auto-update support for installed skills

Configure skill directories in config.yaml:

skills:
  skill_dirs:
    - "./skills"
    - "/shared/skills"
  disabled_skills: []

clawhub:
  install_dir: "./skills"    # Default install location
  auto_update: false          # Auto-update on startup

Install from ClawHub:

# Search for skills
pulsebot skill search python

# Install a skill
pulsebot skill install timeplus/sql-guide

# List installed skills
pulsebot skill list

📡 API Endpoints

Web Chat UI

Access the built-in web chat interface at http://localhost:8000/ after starting the API server.

REST & WebSocket Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/	Web chat UI
GET	/health	Health check
POST	/chat	Send message (async)
POST	/api/v1/task-trigger	Timeplus UDF callback for scheduled tasks
WS	/ws/{session_id}	Real-time chat (also streams task_notification events)
GET	/sessions/{id}/history	Get conversation history

🗄️ Timeplus Streams

Stream	Purpose
messages	All agent communication (user input, agent response, tool calls)
llm_logs	LLM call observability (tokens, latency, cost)
tool_logs	Tool execution logging (name, arguments, duration, status)
memory	Vector-indexed memories with semantic search
events	System events, alerts & task_notification broadcasts
task_triggers	Audit log of every scheduled task invocation

Scheduled tasks are Timeplus-native TASK objects created by the scheduler skill. Each task runs a Python UDF that POSTs to /api/v1/task-trigger, which the agent processes and fans out to all connected channels via the events stream. See Task Design for details.
