Quick Start Guide
From zero to AI in 5 minutes. Let’s ship your first AI application.
Prerequisites
Before you begin:
- Access to Calliope AI (try the demo)
- Basic programming knowledge (Python or JavaScript)
- Web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
5-Minute Quick Start
Step 1: Access Your Workspace
# 1. Navigate to demo.calliope.ai
# 2. Explore the platform interface
# 3. Choose your starting component from the menuStep 2: Launch Jupyter AI
# In your first notebook cell
from calliope import Agent, Hub
# Initialize Calliope
hub = Hub()
print(f"Connected to Calliope v{hub.version}")Step 3: Create Your First Agent
# Simple AI agent - no PhD required
agent = Agent(
name="MyFirstAgent",
model="gpt-4",
instructions="You are a helpful AI assistant integrated with Calliope."
)
# Test it
response = agent.chat("Hello! What can you help me with?")
print(response)Step 4: Build a Multi-Agent Workflow
# Create specialized agents
researcher = Agent(name="Researcher", role="research")
writer = Agent(name="Writer", role="content_creation")
reviewer = Agent(name="Reviewer", role="quality_check")
# Wire them together
from calliope.autogen import Workflow
workflow = Workflow([researcher, writer, reviewer])
result = workflow.run("Write a blog post about AI trends")That’s it. You’ve just built a multi-agent AI system.

Common Patterns
Data Analysis with AI
import pandas as pd
from calliope.analysis import AIAnalyst
# Load data
df = pd.read_csv("your_data.csv")
# AI-powered analysis
analyst = AIAnalyst()
insights = analyst.analyze(df,
questions=[
"What are the main trends?",
"Any anomalies?",
"What's next?"
]
)Building a Chatbot
from calliope.chat import ChatInterface
# Create chatbot
chatbot = ChatInterface(
agent=agent,
features=["rag", "memory", "tools"],
ui_theme="modern"
)
# Deploy instantly
chatbot.deploy(subdomain="my-assistant")Content Pipeline
from calliope.content import ContentPipeline
# Build pipeline
pipeline = ContentPipeline()
pipeline.add_stage("research", researcher)
pipeline.add_stage("writing", writer)
pipeline.add_stage("seo", seo_agent)
# Generate content
article = pipeline.generate(
topic="Future of AI in Healthcare",
length=1500,
style="professional"
