Let me guess, in the next 6 months, Elixir and Erlang becoming fashionable to build AI agents and then another hype cycle of AI usage and marketing of Elixir.

What's old is now rebranded, reheated and new again.

How do you ensure security? Does it have a proper container? Otherwise, it's impossible to prevent leaking prod secrets.

Where does this stand in relation to LangChain? https://github.com/brainlid/langchain (Probably complimentary but wanted to check)

I went down this path a bit the other night, curious what OP's answer is. My mental model was that they could be complimentary? Jido for agent lifecycle, supervision, state management, etc, LangChain for the LLM interactions, prompt chains, RAG, etc. Looks like you could do everything in Jido 2.0, but if you like/are familiar with LangChain it seems like they could work well together.

The site seems to be getting hugged to death, here's the archive.org backup: https://web.archive.org/web/20260305161030/https://jido.run/

Not sure if related, but the page loads fine and then after a few seconds refreshes into a 404. I gave up trying to read the article.

Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely check it out.

I just LLM-built an A2A package which is a GenServer-like abstraction. I however missed that there already was another A2A implementation for Elixir. Anyway, I decided to leave it up because the package semantics were different enough. Here it is if anyone is interested: https://github.com/actioncard/a2a-elixir

For me it just seems to keep refreshing for no reason so the page keeps jumping around. Also had to give up.

Huh... excellent timing. I am working on a project that currently is handling this with bunch od npm tasks :)(I know), but it works.

Sidian Sidekicks, Obsidian vault reviewer agents.

I think Jido will be prefect for us and will help us organize and streamline not just our agent interactions but make them more clear, what is happening and which agent is doing what.

And on top of that, I get excuse to include Elixir in this project.

Thanks for shipping.
