✨ Below are examples of LLM Apps:
Current LLM frameworks are bloated. You only need 100 lines for LLM Framework!

🚀 **Agents build Agents** the fastest paradigm for building LLM systems!

## How to Use Pocket Flow?
🚀 It's highly recommended to **build Agents with Agents**—the fastest development paradigm!
- 😎 **Humans** craft the **high-level requirements and system design**.
- 🤖 **AI agents** (e.g., Cursor AI) handle the **low-level implementation**.

Compare to other frameworks, Pocket Flow is <i>purpose-built for LLM Agents</i>:
## What can Pocket Flow build?
1. **🫠 LangChain-like frameworks** overwhelm Cursor AI with *complex* abstractions, *deprecated* functions and *irritating* dependency issues.
✨ Below are examples of LLM Apps:
3. 😐 **Without a framework**, code is *ad hoc*—suitable only for immediate tasks, *not modular or maintainable*.
5. **🥰 With Pocket Flow**: (1) Minimal and expressive—easy for Cursor AI to pick up. (2) *Nodes and Flows* keep everything *modular*. (3) A *Shared Store* decouples your data structure from compute logic.
In short, the **100 lines** ensures LLM Agents follows *solid coding practices* without sacrificing *simplicity* or *flexibility*.

## How to start?
- **For quick questions**: Use the [GPT assistant](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-677464af36588191b9eba4901946557b-pocket-flow-assistant) (note: it uses older models not ideal for coding).
- **For one-time LLM task**: Create a [ChatGPT](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10169521-using-projects-in-chatgpt) or [Claude](https://www.anthropic.com/news/projects) project; upload the [docs](docs) to project knowledge.
- **For LLM App development**: Use [Cursor AI](https://www.cursor.com/).
- If you want to start a new project, check out the [project template](https://github.com/The-Pocket/PocketFlow-Template-Python).
- If you already have a project, copy [.cursorrules](.cursorrules) to your project root as [Cursor Rules](https://docs.cursor.com/context/rules-for-ai).
