What is RubyLLM?

RubyLLM brings chats, agents, tools, images, audio, and video generation into one consistent, Ruby-native API. Works in plain Ruby or Rails, so you can build AI features without juggling a different SDK for every model provider.

Pros

  • One clean API for many AI capabilities
  • First-class Rails integration

Cons

  • Ruby-only
  • Depends on provider API changes
