๐Ÿง  How It Works

teku coordinates its core functionality through a modular Java pipeline. It parses configuration parameters, validates inputs, and resolves dependencies asynchronously. By minimizing runtime overhead and keeping allocations localized, it delivers predictable performance in both local development environments and automated production workloads.

๐ŸŽฏ Production Use Cases

Autonomous AI Agents

Orchestrate intelligent workflows and tool-calling routines with teku.

Model Inference & Prompting

Integrate fast, local or cloud-hosted generative AI models directly into production code.

Context Memory & RAG

Augment language models with dynamic vector retrieval and structured project memory.

Developer Productivity

Automate repetitive engineering tasks, code generation, and test creation using AI agents.

๐Ÿš€ Getting Started

1

Install teku using your package manager: `git clone https://github.com/Consensys-Incorporated/teku.git`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for teku.

3

Import teku into your codebase or invoke it directly from your terminal.

4

Execute your test suite or run `teku --help` to verify successful setup.

๐Ÿ‘ Strengths
