# Introduction

> Get started with PraisonAI using CLI and YAML configuration

PraisonAI is a framework for building multi-agent AI systems. The **No Code** approach uses:

* **CLI** (`praisonai`) to run agents
* **YAML** (`agents.yaml`) to define agent configurations

No Python coding required for basic workflows.

## Quick Example

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
# Install
pip install praisonai

# Set API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"

# Generate agents.yaml from a topic
praisonai --init "research AI trends"

# Run the agents
praisonai
```

## What You Can Do

| Mode              | Command                    | Description                  |
| :---------------- | :------------------------- | :--------------------------- |
| **Direct prompt** | `praisonai "question"`     | Ask a question directly      |
| **Auto mode**     | `praisonai --auto "topic"` | Auto-generate and run agents |
| **YAML mode**     | `praisonai`                | Run from `agents.yaml`       |
| **Init**          | `praisonai --init "topic"` | Generate `agents.yaml`       |
