Core Value: Through its visual interface and multi-model AI composition capabilities, Giselle enables anyone to quickly build professional-grade AI agent automation workflows.

Quick Start#

Installation Difficulty: Medium - Requires Node.js environment and at least one AI provider API key, but the installation process is straightforward

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/giselles-ai/giselle.git
cd giselle

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Create environment file
touch .env.local

# Add your API key (at least one required)
echo 'OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"' >> .env.local

# Start development server
pnpm turbo dev

Open http://localhost:3000 and start building your AI agents!

Note: You need at least one AI provider API key. Supported providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI.

Is this suitable for me?

• ✅ GitHub workflow automation: Giselle can automate issues, PRs, and deployments
• ✅ Research assistant development: Automatically gather information from web and internal docs
• ✅ AI-powered code review: Integrate AI code review into your GitHub workflow
• ❌ Single AI model only: If you only need a single AI functionality, Giselle might be overly complex
• ❌ No technical background: While it offers a visual interface, basic configuration still requires some technical understanding
