Overview

About

Implements trustworthy large language model agents. Connect raw data sources, a pool of trusted calculations, and a searchable context layer that demonstrates how to interpret them. Then, deploy data agents that answer questions, log interactions, and can be evaluated and improved over time.

Changes in 0.1.1
  • Fixes an issue with the R code sandbox where the generated policy would be too long when there were thousands of R packages installed.
  • A number of improvements to documentation.
