Love this! The timing couldn't be more perfect. I had to write my agent framework with a mix of gen servers and Oban. It's honestly a pain to deal with. This looks like it will really remove a lot of pain for development. Thank you so much!

#22Where does this stand in relation to LangChain? https://github.com/brainlid/langchain (Probably complimentary but wanted to check)
Elixir has a LangChain implementation by the same name. And in my opinion as a user of both, the Python version and the Elixir version, the Elixir version is vastly superior and reliable too.
This agentic framework can co-exist with LangChain if that's what you're wondering.

#23Let 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.
Elixir has always been fashionable to build high performance systems in. In fact, it is more suited for AI applications than any other language or framework because of the BEAM architecture and the flexibility of the language itself. I wish more people gave it a chance. You get insane performance at your fingertips with so much scalability out of the box and your code by default is less error prone compared to dynamic languages.

#24How do you ensure security? Does it have a proper container? Otherwise, it's impossible to prevent leaking prod secrets.
By using Signals and Plugins, all data between agents can be encrypted. I've seen a Jido implementation doing this already.
It's use-case specific though - security is a much bigger topic then just "agents in containers"
The point of Jido isn't to solve this directly - it's to give you the tools to solve it for your needs.

Jido originally used Langchain for LLM calls - but it wasn't a fit so I built an entire LLM client package to work with Jido called ReqLLM
https://hex.pm/packages/req_llm
ReqLLM is baked into the heart of Jido now - we don't support anything else

#26I haven't used Jido for anything yet, but it's one of those projects I check in on once a month or so. BEAM does seem like a perfect fit for an agent framework, but the ecosystem seeming limited has held me back from going too far down that path. Excited to see 2.0! Just a heads up, some of your code samples seem to be having an issue with entity escaping. name: "my_agent", description: "A simple agent…
Thank you! Fixing ...

This is now my personal shame for the next two weeks ... good problems, but ya - wow - I was unprepared

Thank you!
Agree on operational boundaries - it took a long time to land where we did with the 2.0 release
Too much to say about this in a comment, but take a look at the "Concepts: Executor" section - it digs into the model here
Re: Show HN: Jido 2.0, Elixir Agent Framework
#30Huh... 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…
Yay!!!
