## What it is
Agents, realtime voice, image generation, embeddings. Every model, every interface, typed end to end. Pydantic AI is the Python AI SDK: a typed, extensible agent loop with every model a string swap away, and another one to fall back to when a provider fails. The same agent runs everywhere you need it: behind a web frontend, in the terminal, on a voice call, on a durable background queue, in GitHub Actions, or as a plain object you call run() on. Image generation and embeddings come in the same box.

## When to use it
Reach for pydantic-ai when you want an LLM to plan, call tools, browse, or coordinate with other agents instead of answering a single prompt — it's written in Python and fits stacks tagged agent-framework, genai, harness, harness-engineering.
