Overview

Apache Burr (incubating), formerly the DAGWorks Burr project, is a Python framework for state-machine-based AI applications with tracing and persistence hooks.

Apache Burr (incubating), formerly the DAGWorks Burr project, is a Python framework for state-machine-based AI applications with tracing and persistence hooks.

Define actions, explicit state and transitions to build chatbots, agent workflows or human-in-the-loop applications; inspect execution through the telemetry UI.

Current repository is apache/burr. The current README installs apache-burr with optional start extras. Haystack integration converts a Haystack pipeline into a Burr application; application-specific hooks can connect other tools.

Apache-2.0 framework with no library subscription fee. Model APIs, storage and deployment infrastructure are separate costs.

Autonomy level

65/100

Our subjective rating of how independently the product carries out its documented tasks, considering the human setup, input, approval and review it needs. This is not a measured success rate.

Reasoning: Burr runs the actions and state transitions defined in an application, with persistence and execution tracing. Developers implement the actions, decision rules and human intervention points. It coordinates a configured workflow rather than deciding business goals on its own.
