## ✨ What is **Railtracks**?

Easy agent building, for no one but **YOU**: Create deployable complex agents using simple, Pythonic style interface with natural control flow.

<!-- Add an empty line or a horizontal rule to ensure separation -->
<br>


```python
import railtracks as rt

# Define a tool (just a function!)
def get_weather(location: str) -> str:
    return f"It's sunny in {location}!"

# Create an agent with tools
agent = rt.agent_node(
    "Weather Assistant",
    tool_nodes=(rt.function_node(get_weather)),
    llm=rt.llm.OpenAILLM("gpt-4o"),
    system_message="You help users with weather information."
)

# Run it
result = await rt.call(agent, "What's the weather in Paris?")
print(result.text)  # "Based on the current data, it's sunny in Paris!"
```

**That's it.** No complex configurations, no learning proprietary syntax. Just Python.

## 🎯 Why Railtracks?

<div align="center">

<table>
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign="top">

#### 🐍 **Pure Python Experience**
```python
# Write agents like regular functions
@rt.function_node
def my_tool(text: str) -> str:
    return process(text)
```
- ✅ No YAML, no DSLs, no magic strings
- ✅ Use your existing debugging tools
- ✅ IDE autocomplete & type checking

</td>
<td width="50%" valign="top">

#### 🔧 **Tool-First Architecture**
```python
# Any function becomes a tool
agent = rt.agent_node(
    "Assistant",
    tool_nodes=(my_tool, api_call)
)
```
- ✅ Instant function-to-tool conversion
- ✅ Seamless API/database integration
- ✅ MCP protocol support

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50%" valign="top">

#### ⚡ **Look Familiar?**
```python
# Smart parallelization built-in 
# with interface similar to asyncio
result = await rt.call(agent, query)
```
- ✅ Easy to learn standardized interface
- ✅ Built-in validation, error handling & retries
- ✅ Auto-parallelization management

</td>
<td width="50%" valign="top">

#### 👁️ **Transparent by Design**
```bash
railtracks viz  # See everything
```
- ✅ Real-time execution visualization
- ✅ Complete execution history
- ✅ Debug like regular Python code

<details open>
<summary><b>⚡ Your First Agent in 5 Min</b></summary>


```python
import railtracks as rt

# 1. Create tools (just functions with decorators!)
@rt.function_node
def count_characters(text: str, character: str) -> int:
    """Count occurrences of a character in text."""
    return text.count(character)

@rt.function_node
def word_count(text: str) -> int:
    """Count words in text."""
    return len(text.split())

# 2. Build an agent with tools
text_analyzer = rt.agent_node(
    "Text Analyzer",
    tool_nodes=(count_characters, word_count),
    llm=rt.llm.OpenAILLM("gpt-4o"),
    system_message="You analyze text using the available tools."
)

# 3. Use it to solve the classic "How many r's in strawberry?" problem
@rt.session
async def main():
    result = await rt.call(text_analyzer, "How many 'r's are in 'strawberry'?")
    print(result.text)  # "There are 3 'r's in 'strawberry'!"

# Run it
