About Cheshire Cat AI
Cheshire Cat AI is an open source AI agent microservice framework, published as a GitHub repository. The project describes its main use case as education and research, and says it is designed from the bottom up to be easy to understand and extend. It can be installed with uv and started with a short set of commands, after which a web UI and a REST API playground run on localhost.
The repository is labeled as version 2 and marked as an unstable alpha. The maintainers say to expect breaking changes, rough edges, and incomplete features, and they state that it is not yet recommended for production use. The code is licensed under GPL-3.0. Pricing is unknown.
