What is Haystack?

Haystack is an open-source AI orchestration framework that enables developers to build production-ready, LLM-powered agents and applications. It provides modular, composable building blocks for orchestrating every step of an AI agent, from retrieval to reasoning, memory, and tool use. Haystack emphasizes transparency, context engineering, and flexibility, allowing integration with various AI models and databases without vendor lock-in.

How to use Haystack?

To get started with Haystack, install it via pip using 'pip install haystack-ai'. Then, follow the official documentation and tutorials to build your first pipeline. You can leverage the modular components to design custom AI agents, RAG pipelines, or multimodal applications. For enterprise needs, you can opt for Haystack Enterprise Support or the AI Orchestration Platform, which offer additional tools and deployment options.
