aiFlows provides a framework for building modular, reusable, and collaborative AI workflows, enabling seamless integration of humans, AI systems, and tools. It targets AI researchers and practitioners seeking to design, implement, and study complex interactions, offering features like concurrent execution and remote peer-to-peer collaboration.

How It Works

The core abstraction is the "Flow," a self-contained, goal-driven computational unit that communicates via a standardized message-based interface. Flows can be composed hierarchically, akin to LEGO blocks, with complexity hidden behind this interface. This design facilitates modularity, reusability through the community-driven "FlowVerse" repository, and inherent support for concurrency and distributed collaboration without added complexity.
