BAML

BAML is the pioneering language and framework empowering developers to build AI agents with unprecedented type safety and reliability. It directly addresses the challenges of inconsistent AI outputs and complex development, ensuring your AI pipelines perform 10x more reliably than traditional approaches. For AI engineers, BAML provides a streamlined, polyglot workflow to develop, test, and deploy robust, production-grade AI applications.

Key Features

• ✨ Type-Safe AI Interfaces & Structured Outputs: Define AI interfaces with confidence, generating type-safe, validated responses (JSON, XML, YAML, and more) from any LLM. BAML's innovative Schema-aligned Parsing (SAP) technique ensures reliable structured outputs even from models that don't natively support them, significantly improving accuracy and reducing token usage.

• 🌐 Universal LLM & Language Compatibility: Integrate seamlessly with every major LLM provider, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, and popular programming languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, Ruby, and Java. This flexibility allows you to build truly polyglot AI applications without vendor lock-in.

• 🚀 Comprehensive Agent Development Workflow: Streamline your entire AI agent development process. Define and test prompt functions in your VSCode environment, call them from any programming language, and deploy across multi-cloud platforms such as AWS Lambda, Vercel, Google Cloud, and Azure Functions. Rigorously test agents in CI/CD pipelines for consistent performance.

• 🛡️ Enhanced Reliability & Performance: Achieve AI pipelines that are 10x more reliable with BAML's built-in mechanisms. Benefit from automatic retry and intelligent fallback for failed requests, alongside a universal model router that manages routing, load balancing, and failover strategies across different LLMs to ensure continuous operation.

Use Cases

BAML empowers developers to tackle complex AI challenges with structured, reliable solutions:

• Automated Data Extraction & Classification: Accurately extract specific, structured information from unstructured text, such as parsing resumes for names and job titles, or classifying customer feedback into detailed sentiment categories for business intelligence.

• Intelligent Code Analysis & Review: Leverage AI to analyze codebases, perform automated code reviews, or identify complex patterns, generating structured insights that integrate directly into your existing development tools and workflows.

• Dynamic UI Experiences with Streaming Data: Build responsive user interfaces that display real-time progress and loading bars as AI models generate structured outputs. This enhances user engagement and clarity by providing immediate feedback during complex AI operations.

Unique Advantages

BAML distinguishes itself by fundamentally rethinking how AI agents are built, offering significant advantages over traditional methods and existing frameworks:

• Pioneering Agent Development: As the first dedicated language for building AI agents, BAML offers a purpose-built framework that significantly streamlines and standardizes the entire development process, moving beyond general-purpose libraries.

• Unmatched Reliability: BAML delivers AI pipelines that are 10x more reliable, drawing a parallel to how TypeScript enhanced JavaScript. Its robust design, including type safety, automatic retries, and fallbacks, minimizes errors and ensures consistent, predictable performance in production.

• Superior Developer Experience (DX): Designed explicitly for agent development, BAML offers a significantly more intuitive and efficient development experience compared to alternatives like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or bespoke in-house tooling.

• Innovative Schema-aligned Parsing (SAP): BAML's proprietary SAP technique enables structured outputs from any LLM, even those without native support for function calling. This innovation dramatically improves accuracy, reduces token usage, and on benchmarks, SAP + GPT-3.5 turbo has even outperformed GPT-4o with traditional structured outputs. SAP also facilitates advanced reasoning patterns like Chain-of-Thought and parallel function calling within a single prompt.

• Advanced Model Routing & Resiliency: The universal model router provides sophisticated capabilities such as automatic retry policies, intelligent fallbacks to alternative models, and round-robin load balancing. This ensures your applications remain robust, performant, and cost-effective under varying conditions and model availability.

Conclusion

BAML empowers developers to build production-ready AI agents with unparalleled type safety, reliability, and an exceptional developer experience. By streamlining the entire lifecycle from prompt definition to multi-cloud deployment, BAML ensures your AI applications are robust, performant, and ready for real-world impact.
