NPC Studio

NPC Studio is an AI IDE that lets users have conversations with LLMs and Agents, edit files, explore data, execute code, and much more.

Executables available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows at our website. At the moment, NPC Studio requires you to independently have ollama installed (or other API keys within .env files) and for you to have pulled models yourself. In future releases, we intend to bundle a program that can install ollama and models from within NPC Studio itself. We also aim to provide inference for users who don't have the local hardware necessary to run models. If you have issues during installation, please let us know!

Using NPC Studio

Chat with Agents and organize by project path

• NPC Studio gives users the capability to organize their conversations with AI agents in a natural and convenient way. Users can easily change working directories and separate their conversations by project path.

Create and manage agents, tools

• NPC Studio uses the npcpy agent framework to simplify the building and orchestration of AI agents.

• Additionally, users can create and manage tools to be used by agents.

Edit plain text files

• NPC Studio is not just a chat interface, users can also edit plain text files (with agent-based integrations soon to come).

Project Settings

-When working in a specific folder, NPC Studio will discover an .env file if it's present and will use these API keys to determine which models can be used within the project.

git clone https://github.com/npc-worldwide/npc-studio.git

npm install

Start the electron backend:

npm run dev

Start the flask backend:

Alternatively use the wrapper script that is provided
```bash
python npc_studio_serve.py

Start the electron frontend:

npm start

Build

Linux:

./build.sh

This will build the frontend and backend into a single executable file.

Mac:

./build-mac.sh

Windows:

.\build.bat
