That’s why we’ve leveled up the Gradient AI Platform with new tools that let you ship smarter agents, debug in real time, and tap into the knowledge sources you already use. Now you can: Streamline AI app development with the unified Gradient AI Python SDK -> Streamline AI app development with the unified Gradient AI Python SDK -> Optimize agent performance via log stream insights -> Optimize agent performance via log stream insights -> Augment your agents with Dropbox knowledge bases -> Augment your agents with Dropbox knowledge bases -> Whether you’re launching your first AI MVP or scaling production workloads, these new tools help you build real, production-ready AI apps. Access all major Gradient AI services, like Agents, Inference APIs, Knowledge Bases, and even GPU Droplets , through one modern Python SDK, now available on PyPI. Fully typed with Pydantic and TypedDict for IDE support and reliability Async and sync support, including real-time streaming via SSE Built-in error handling, retries, and custom transport configuration One install: pip install do-gradientai No more jumping between tools or stitching together API calls. The Gradient AI SDK gives you a unified way to access end-to-end AI building blocks, from bare metal GPU infrastructure to a complete agent builder, perfect for quick prototyping, scalable backends, or custom internal tools. Explore the SDK -> To install the SDK: pip install --pre gradient pip install --pre gradient When your agent isn’t behaving how it should, combing through logs can slow you down. Log Stream Insights helps you skip the guesswork by analyzing your agent trace data in real time—and surfacing optimization recommendations automatically. Reduce costs and latency with real-time, AI-generated suggestions Improve agent performance with actionable insights for prompt design, model selection, and token use Pay-as-you-go with usage-based pricing Integrate seamlessly with existing Agent Traceability tools for complete visibility If you’re already storing traces, you can turn on Insights with a single toggle—and start seeing recommendations instantly. Add Log Stream Insights → Your team already stores knowledge in Dropbox, why not use it to power your agents? With the new Dropbox Data Connector, you can ingest content directly from Dropbox into your Gradient knowledge bases. Supports 7 formats: PDF, DOC, TXT, CSV, HTML, JSON, and Markdown Ingest in bulk or sync updates via API OAuth-secured access and encrypted data transfer Indexed automatically in OpenSearch for fast querying Use it to build onboarding assistants, search agents, or custom copilots grounded in your docs. Connect Dropbox data → We built these tools to meet you where you are—and help you level up.
