ConnectOnion - Python AI Agents from a Working Template

What is ConnectOnion?

ConnectOnion is an open-source Python toolkit for building AI agents. It scaffolds a project with co create that already runs, including shell, file editing, search, and a connected model, so you can start editing and extending from a working template.

Key Capabilities

• Project scaffolding: co create or co init creates the project structure, including the co/host.yaml config file.
• Built-in tools: The template includes shell, file editing, search, and model connection.
• Multi-model support: Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini.
• Agent hosting: Host an agent via host(agent).
• Event handling: Event handlers receive the agent instance, with access to current_session, messages, trace, and more.
• Memory: Use the Memory tool to let agents remember information, with shared memory support.
• Remote agent connection: Use connect(addr) to connect remote specialized agents, with round-robin scheduling.
• Deployment: Can be deployed to services like Cloud Run.

Use

Cases ConnectOnion is suited for developers who need to quickly build Python AI agents, especially those who want to start from a runnable template instead of configuring from scratch.
