How to use Pydantic AI: what you can do with it

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.

How do I use it? 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. Full steps below.

Quick start with Pydantic AI

  1. 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].
  2. Open pydantic/pydantic-ai on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Install with uv add pydantic-ai
  4. Define a Pydantic BaseModel for the output, for example a Sentiment with a label and a score between -1 and 1
  5. Create an Agent with your model string and output_type set to that model
  6. 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.
