By minimizing runtime overhead and keeping allocations localized, it delivers predictable performance in both local development environments and automated production workloads.

🎯 Production Use Cases

Autonomous AI Agents

Orchestrate intelligent workflows and tool-calling routines with kiln.

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.

🚀 Getting Started

1

Install kiln using your package manager: `npm install kiln`

2

Initialize your project workspace or configuration file for kiln.

3

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

4

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