What do you want to do?
3 use cases
-
Get validated, typed data out of an LLM
Give a Pydantic AI agent an output type and tools so every run returns a checked Pydantic model.
View prompt
Using pydantic/pydantic-ai, build an agent with output_type=<Pydantic model> that extracts <fields> from <input type>. Add a tool that fetches <data>, run it on three examples and show the validated outputs.
-
Build your own terminal coding agent in a few lines
Use Pydantic AI Harness's Coder capability to get file access, shell, repo context and sub-agents in one agent.
View prompt
Using pydantic/pydantic-ai and pydantic-ai-harness[coder], create a terminal coding agent on <model> with Coder() and WebSearch(), restrict the shell to an allowlist, and run it on this repo to <task>.
-
Make a research agent survive crashes with Temporal
Attach TemporalDurability so the same Pydantic AI agent runs inside a durable Temporal workflow.
View prompt
Using pydantic/pydantic-ai with TemporalDurability, turn my <agent> into a Temporal workflow that writes a brief on a topic. Show me that killing the worker mid-run and restarting it resumes the workflow.
Quick start with Pydantic AI
- Check you have what it needs: Python and uv; An API key for the model provider you choose; Optional extras: pydantic-ai-harness[coder], pydantic-ai[temporal] and a Temporal setup, pydantic-ai[openai-realtime].
- Open pydantic/pydantic-ai on GitHub and read the README and license.
- Install with
uv add pydantic-ai - Define a Pydantic BaseModel for the output, for example a Sentiment with a label and a score between -1 and 1
- Create an Agent with your model string and output_type set to that model
- Add data sources with the @agent.tool decorator; the signature and docstring become the tool schema
These steps come from our top use case, Get validated, typed data out of an LLM, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.

Questions about Pydantic AI
What is Pydantic AI?
Pydantic AI is a typed Python AI SDK from the Pydantic team: an agent loop where any model is a string swap away, tools and outputs are validated, and the same agent can run as a coding agent, a data extractor, a durable Temporal workflow or a realtime voice session. Pydantic AI Harness adds capabilities such as file access, shell, repo context and sub-agents, Pydantic Evals grades outputs and tool trajectories, and Logfire instruments every run. It is an open-source project on GitHub: https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai.
How do I use Pydantic AI?
Install with uv add pydantic-ai; then Define a Pydantic BaseModel for the output, for example a Sentiment with a label and a score between -1 and 1; create an Agent with your model string and output_type set to that model. The use cases on this page give the full steps and a copy-paste agent prompt for each job.
Who is Pydantic AI for?
