QwenPaw is a toolkit for developing and testing AI agents. It supports pluggable model providers, user-defined skills and a local knowledge base.

What is QwenPaw?

QwenPaw is a toolkit for developing and testing AI agents. It offers pluggable model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Qwen via the Dashscope API, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), modular skills, local knowledge files with a built-in RAG mechanism, and a REST API with streaming.

How do you get started with QwenPaw?

Install the package with pip and initialize a working directory with the command qwenpaw init. The framework creates the folder structure and a basic config.yaml. The tutorial walks through deploying a full workspace directly in Google Colab; API keys should be stored in Colab Secrets.
