High-level Agentic Instruction & Runtime Architecture
The programming language for AI agents and workflows.

Note: Haira is under heavy development and not yet production-ready. APIs and syntax may change. Use at your own risk.

Haira is a compiled language designed from the ground up for building agentic applications. Providers, tools, agents, and workflows are part of the language itself — not frameworks bolted on top. Write your agent logic, compile it to a native binary, and ship it.

import "io"
import "http"

provider openai {
    api_key: env("OPENAI_API_KEY")
    model: "gpt-4o"
}

tool get_weather(city: string) -> string {
    """Get the current weather for a given city"""
    resp, err = http.get("https://wttr.in/${city}?format=j1")
    if err != nil { return "Failed to fetch weather data." }
    data = resp.json()
    current = data["current_condition"][0]
    return "${city}: ${current["temp_C"]}C"
}

agent Assistant {
    model: openai
    system: "You are a helpful assistant. Be concise."
    tools: [get_weather]
    memory: conversation(max_turns: 10)
    temperature: 0.7
}

@post("/api/chat")
workflow Chat(message: string, session_id: string) -> { reply: string } {
    reply, err = Assistant.ask(message, session: session_id)
    if err != nil { return { reply: "Something went wrong." } }
    return { reply: reply }
}

fn main() {
    server = http.Server([Chat])
    io.println("Server running on :8080")
    io.println("UI: http://localhost:8080/_ui/")
    server.listen(8080)
}
