A lightweight Python library that enables building modular, asynchronous, and composable AI pipelines for efficient, parallel content processing.
One-Minute Overview#
GenAI Processors Library is developed by the Google Gemini team to build efficient content processing pipelines for generative AI. Through its core Processor abstraction, it allows developers to easily create, combine, and parallelize AI processing units. It's ideal for developers who need to process generative AI outputs in real-time.
Core Value: Breaks down complex AI processing tasks into reusable, combinable units with support for asynchronous parallel execution.
Quick Start#
Installation Difficulty: Low - Simple pip installation with no complex dependencies
pip install genai-processors
Is this suitable for my scenario?
- ✅ Building complex AI processing pipelines: Can chain or parallelize different processing modules
- ✅ Real-time streaming of AI outputs: Supports real-time interactions with Gemini Live API
- ✅ Processing multiple content types: Supports text, images, audio, and more
- ❌ Simple API calls only: May be overkill for basic API usage
- ❌ Non-Python projects: Only supports Python environments
