Description
Hi HN,This is Andrei from askmanu and I'm super happy to share a new framework I've been working on: acorn.It takes all the best parts of DSPy, langchaing, instructor, etc and wraps it in a beautiful and easy to use API. Very easy to define model I/O, branches, define callbacks for every step, etcSee the getting started docs here: https://github.com/askmanu/acorn/blob/main/docs/getting-star...Try out the different demos here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/askmanu/acorn

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
