Ergon

Ergon is a toolkit for building AI agent systems using a Python SDK engine and a visual Studio builder.

Ergon provides a toolkit for building AI agent workflows through a Python SDK and a drag-and-drop visual Studio. The Studio generates Python code for the SDK, and the SDK's bridge runs designs headless to prevent drift between code and runtime. It supports around fifteen AI providers through a unified router, including Anthropic, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Users can build tools, use pgvector RAG, manage spend budgets, and observe runs with OpenTelemetry traces. It is designed for developers building agentic applications who want both visual design and programmatic control.
