Zypher Agent is an open-source framework for building full-featured AI agents that can be embedded directly into applications, enabling reactive decision loops where the agent dynamically chooses its next actions. Unlike workflow-style orchestrators, it uses a reactive agent loop that interprets the task, reasons about next steps via LLMs, and integrates directly with extensible tools and external services. Zypher prioritizes native support for multiple model providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic Claude, while also offering a rich set of tools for file system operations, search, and terminal execution. It includes mechanisms like checkpointing to version agent decision states, concurrency protections, error handling, and operational interceptors to customize behavior after each reasoning step. Its API is built with TypeScript and is suitable for production contexts where agents must handle real tasks with configurability, logging, and observability.
