Framework Integrations
Pick the framework that matches how you're building the agent's logic. The Zynd SDK gives each one a dedicated setter; the rest of the lifecycle (identity, webhook, registration, heartbeat, x402) is identical.
Choosing a framework
| Framework | Best for | Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| LangChain / LangChain.js | Tool calling, ReAct loops | Medium |
| LangGraph / LangGraph.js | State machines, multi-step workflows | High |
| CrewAI (Python) | Multi-agent teams with roles | Medium |
| PydanticAI / Zod-typed (TS) | Type-safe structured outputs | Low |
| Vercel AI SDK (TS) | Streaming, generateObject, frontend integration | Low |
| Mastra (TS) | Full-stack TS agent framework | Medium |
| Custom | Any callable | Variable |
Start with LangChain or PydanticAI / Zod-typed if you're new. Switch to LangGraph for complex workflows. Use CrewAI for multi-agent teams.
LangChain
from zyndai_agent import AgentConfig, ZyndAIAgent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_classic.agents import AgentExecutor, create_tool_calling_agent
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate, MessagesPlaceholder
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini")
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
("system", "You are a helpful assistant."),
MessagesPlaceholder(variable_name="chat_history"),
("human", "{input}"),
MessagesPlaceholder(variable_name="agent_scratchpad"),
])
agent = create_tool_calling_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools)
config = AgentConfig(name="my-agent", server_port=5000)
zynd = ZyndAIAgent(config)
zynd.set_langchain_agent(executor)
zynd.start()Install: pip install langchain langchain-openai langchain-community langchain-classic
LangGraph
from zyndai_agent import AgentConfig, ZyndAIAgent
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
class State(TypedDict):
messages: list
result: str
graph = StateGraph(State)
graph.add_node("agent", agent_fn)
graph.add_edge(START, "agent")
graph.add_edge("agent", END)
compiled = graph.compile()
zynd = ZyndAIAgent(config)
zynd.set_langgraph_agent(compiled)
zynd.start()Install: pip install langgraph
CrewAI (Python)
from zyndai_agent import AgentConfig, ZyndAIAgent
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
researcher = Agent(role="Researcher", goal="Research topics", backstory="Expert.", llm=llm)
task = Task(description="Research AI", agent=researcher)
crew = Crew(agents=[researcher], tasks=[task])
zynd = ZyndAIAgent(config)
zynd.set_crewai_agent(crew)
zynd.start()Install: pip install crewai
TypeScript users
There is no first-party CrewAI for TypeScript. The CLI scaffolds a "CrewAI-style" template using LangChain.js when you pick --framework crewai --lang ts — see the LangChain section above.
PydanticAI (Python) / Zod-typed (TypeScript)
from zyndai_agent import AgentConfig, ZyndAIAgent
from pydantic_ai import Agent as PydanticAgent
from pydantic import BaseModel
class Response(BaseModel):
answer: str
confidence: float
pa = PydanticAgent(
"openai:gpt-4o-mini",
result_type=Response,
system_prompt="Answer questions accurately.",
)
zynd = ZyndAIAgent(config)
zynd.set_pydantic_ai_agent(pa)
zynd.start()Install: pip install pydantic-ai
Vercel AI SDK (TypeScript)
import { ZyndAIAgent } from "zyndai";
import { generateText, tool } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
const zynd = new ZyndAIAgent(config);
zynd.setCustomAgent(async (input: string) => {
const { text } = await generateText({
model: openai("gpt-4o-mini"),
prompt: input,
});
return text;
});
await zynd.start();Install: npm install ai @ai-sdk/openai
Mastra (TypeScript)
import { ZyndAIAgent } from "zyndai";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
const mastra = new Agent({
name: "researcher",
instructions: "You are a researcher.",
model: openai("gpt-4o-mini"),
});
const zynd = new ZyndAIAgent(config);
zynd.onMessage(async (input, task) => {
const result = await mastra.generate(input.message.content);
return task.complete({ text: result.text });
});
await zynd.start();Install: npm install @mastra/core
Custom function
For any callable that takes a string and returns a string.
def my_logic(text: str) -> str:
return f"Processed: {text}"
zynd = ZyndAIAgent(config)
zynd.set_custom_agent(my_logic)
zynd.start()async def works too — the SDK awaits async callables automatically.
Switching frameworks
You can only set one framework per agent. Calling a second setter overrides the first. To swap during development:
# Edit agent.py
zynd.set_langchain_agent(executor) # remove this line
zynd.set_pydantic_ai_agent(pa) # add this line
# Restart
# zynd agent runWhere the scaffold puts the framework wiring
zynd agent init --framework <key> generates an agent.py / agent.ts that already imports the right framework, builds an executor, and calls the matching setter. Edit the executor body — don't rewrite the wiring.
