Introducing the Vidbyte SDK

Vidbyte SDK is the open Python surface for building agent workflows yourself. You import it as `vidbyte`, create an Agent or BaseAgent, attach a prompt and model, add tools when you need them, and call run() or arun(). The package is for people who want to own the loop — not only send a single chat completion.

It is intentionally separate from private Vidbyte platform services. The public package focuses on reusable local infrastructure: agents, tools, managed context, middleware, pipelines, tracing, evals, and multi-agent composition. It does not ship proprietary learning models or backend product internals.

Use the SDK when you are building something that has to do real work: research a topic, edit a repo, answer support tickets from docs, answer questions over files, or draft content from a brief. If a one-shot prompt is enough, you may not need a framework. If you need tools, iteration, structure, and a place to hang verification, you do.

It is also for teams that want the same building blocks across prototypes — a consistent way to declare tools, manage context, and compose multi-step flows without rewriting glue every time.

The mental model is short. Create an agent. Give it a system prompt and a provider/model. Optionally attach tools, context managers, middleware, and runtime choices. Run it. The SDK handles message assembly, tool schemas and results, iteration limits, and optional higher-level composition like multi-agent orchestration or pipelines.

You stay in control of what the agent can touch. Tools are ordinary Python functions marked for the agent. Context is data you choose to supply. Middleware and limits are policies you attach on purpose — not magic running in a black box product.

Start with the published package: `pip install vidbyte-sdk`. For local development against a checkout, clone the repository and run `pip install -e .`. Then verify imports with a one-liner that loads Agent, BaseAgent, and tool from vidbyte.

Source and docs live on GitHub: https://github.com/cerredz/Vidbyte-SDK. Each example guide below also has an Install tab with the same commands so you never leave the page empty-handed.

Below are five high-level agents people actually want: research reports, coding help, customer support, document Q&A, and content writing. Each card opens a short guide with a copy-paste prompt for a coding agent, install steps, and a thin step-by-step walkthrough using the Vidbyte SDK.
