What is Pycelest?

Pycelest is a Python framework for building AI agents that are safe, capable, and observable — designed from day one for production deployment, not just research.

Unlike frameworks that bolt guardrails on as an afterthought, Pycelest puts security, traceability, and reliability at the center of its architecture.

Installation

pip install pycelest

# With specific provider
pip install pycelest[openai]      # OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Grok, Mistral
pip install pycelest[anthropic]   # Anthropic Claude

# Local models — no API key needed

Quick Start

from celest import SessionManager, SessionConfig
from celest.providers import OpenAIAdapter

config = SessionConfig(
    system_prompt="You are a helpful, careful AI agent",
    max_iterations=8,
    max_tool_executions=10,
    token_budget=12_000,
)

session = SessionManager(
    config=config,
    provider=OpenAIAdapter(model="gpt-4o"),
)

result = await session.run("Plan a 3-day trip to Kyoto")
print(result.response)

---

Local Models (no API key)

from celest.providers import OllamaAdapter

session = SessionManager(
    config=config,
    provider=OllamaAdapter(model="llama3.2"),  # or mistral, phi3, qwen2.5...
)

---

With Tools

from celest.tools import FunctionTool

@FunctionTool.register(description="Search the web for current information")
async def web_search(query: str) -> str:
    # your implementation
    ...

session = SessionManager(config=config, provider=provider, tools=[web_search])
result = await session.run("What are the latest AI news?")

---

With YAML Config

# celest.yaml
system_prompt: "You are a helpful AI agent"
max_iterations: 8
provider: openai      # openai | anthropic | ollama | lmstudio | deepseek | grok | mistral
model: gpt-4o
guardrails:
  tool_firewall: ask  # accept | deny | ask

from celest import SessionManager

session = SessionManager.from_yaml("celest.yaml")
result = await session.run("Your task here")

---

CLI

celest init                          # Generate a starter celest.yaml
celest run celest.yaml "Your prompt" # Run an agent from config

---

Multi-Agent

from celest.multi import AgentBus

bus = AgentBus()
researcher = SessionManager(config=research_config, provider=provider, bus=bus)
writer = SessionManager(config=write_config, provider=provider, bus=bus)

result = await researcher.run("Research and write a report on AI trends")
