## 🚀 Quick Start

**Requirements:** Python 3.12 – 3.13.x

```bash
pip install agentkernel
```

Build a multi-agent system that runs on OpenAI Agents SDK today and LangGraph tomorrow — same code:

```python
from agentkernel.cli import CLI
from agentkernel.openai import OpenAIModule
from agents import Agent

math_agent = Agent(
    name="math",
    handoff_description="Specialist agent for math questions",
    instructions="You provide help with math problems.",
)

general_agent = Agent(
    name="general",
    handoff_description="Agent for general questions",
    instructions="You provide assistance with general queries.",
)

triage_agent = Agent(
    name="triage",
    instructions="You determine which agent to use based on the user's question.",
    handoffs=[general_agent, math_agent],
)

module = OpenAIModule([triage_agent, math_agent, general_agent])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    CLI.main()
```

That's it. Same code deploys to AWS Lambda, ECS, Azure Functions, or Container Apps with a single Terraform module. 👉 [Get Started](https://kernel.yaala.ai/docs)
