1. Why do we need PySpur?

Recently, I have received many private messages from readers: "He San, I want to use a big model to make an intelligent customer service/document assistant, but what should I do if I don't know how to program?" Traditional AI development does have a threshold:

  • Python basics required
  • You need to be able to call various APIs
  • The debugging process is daunting

PySpur is like the "Lego blocks" of the AI ​​world, and you can build a complete workflow by dragging and dropping . Here's a real example: I asked my cousin, who is a designer, to use PySpur to build a home improvement plan generator , which can automatically generate 3D renderings and material lists by uploading a floor plan - she didn't even know what Python was!

2. Analysis of the eight core functions

1. Visual workflow construction (just drag and drop!)

  • Drag nodes from the left panel (Input → Processing → Output)
  • Right click to connect the node pipeline
  • Real-time debugging of every link

2. Multi-modal family bucket

Supports mixed processing of pictures, audio, video and documents :

  • Upload floor plan → Generate 3D model
  • Input voice → automatically generate meeting minutes
  • Analyze surveillance video → Output abnormal alarm

3. RAG Black Technology

Document handling is as easy as eating a cookie:

  1. Upload PDF/Word
  2. Automatic Blocking + Vectorization
  3. Accurate search within seconds

4. 100 Model Wars Support

Built-in 100+ mainstream models:

  • Wenxinyiyan/GLM local deployment
  • GPT-4o real-time networking
  • Support private deployment model

3. Step-by-step installation tutorial

Environment Preparation (Windows/Mac)

# 1. Install Python 3.8+
python --version

# 2. Create a virtual environment (to prevent dependency conflicts)
python -m venv pyspur-env
source  pyspur-env/bin/activate   # Mac
pyspur-env\Scripts\activate     # Win

Three-step quick start

# Install the core library
pip install pyspur

# Initialize the project (automatically generate .env configuration file)
pyspur init my_first_agent
cd  my_first_agent

# Start the service (dependencies will be automatically downloaded for the first run)
pyspur serve --sqlite

Open your browser and visit http://localhost:6080 You can see the visual interface!

? It is recommended to configure PostgreSQL in the production environment: Modify
.envIn the fileDATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost/dbname

4. Actual combat case: Build intelligent customer service in 5 minutes

  1. Drag three nodes :

  • User Input
  • Intent recognition (LLM node selects chatglm3)
  • Response generation (connecting to knowledge base)
  • Configure the knowledge base :

    • Upload product brochure PDF
    • Set vectorization parameters (chunk_size=500)
  • Set up routing logic :

    • When the intention is "after-sales question" → transfer to manual button
    • Other questions → Automatic reply

    5. Why choose PySpur?

    ⭐Zero code

    6. Developer Extension Guide

    Although the main feature is zero code, PySpur leaves enough backdoors for developers:

# Custom node example: weather query tool
from  pyspur.core  import  ToolNode

class WeatherTool (ToolNode) : 
    @classmethod
    def execute (cls, inputs) : 
        city ​​= inputs[ "city" ]
        # Calling the weather API
        return  { "temp"25"weather""clear" }
        
# Register to the system and drag and drop on the panel
