Rivet

Rivet is an open-source visual programming environment designed for building and debugging AI agents powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). It allows users to visually construct complex prompt graphs, iterate on their designs, and then run these graphs directly within their applications. This tool is particularly useful for teams looking to design, debug, and collaborate on sophisticated LLM prompt chains, and then deploy them in their own environments. Developed and used by Ironclad, Rivet addresses the challenges of programmatically building AI agents by providing a visual interface, an easy-to-use debugger, and a remote executor. Its core benefit lies in enabling faster iteration, better understanding of agentic logic, and seamless team collaboration, as graphs are stored as YAML files for version control and code review. Rivet is ideal for developers and teams who want to create robust and reliable AI applications, moving beyond mere prototyping to production-ready solutions.
