Optimize agent performance via log stream insights ->

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.

Gradient AI SDK (Python)

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.

To install the SDK:

shell

pip install --pre gradient

Log Stream Insights

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.

Dropbox Data Connector

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 →

A better way to build with AI

We built these tools to meet you where you are—and help you level up. Whether you’re building your first MVP, expanding your agent’s capabilities, or managing live production systems, Gradient AI Platform gives you what you need to move faster with confidence.
