# OpenAI Agents SDK

The OpenAI Agents SDK is an open-source Python framework, with a separate TypeScript version, for building AI agents. It provides primitives for agents, tools, handoffs, guardrails, session management and tracing, along with realtime and voice agents. The SDK runs inside the customer's own application, where the customer controls deployment, storage and approvals, and it uses the Responses API by default while supporting 100+ other LLMs.
