In plain words

Pipeglade is a helper program that displays graphical user interfaces for other applications using GTK+. It reads GUI definitions from Glade Interface Designer files and communicates with the main program through pipes or fifos, supporting various widgets including buttons, boxes, calendars, and frames. The tool is designed for developers who want to build interfaces following Unix principles of simple, composable tools.

    We’re Robin, Louis, and Thomas. Pipelex is a DSL and a Python runtime for repeatable AI workflows. Think Dockerfile/SQL for multi-step LLM pipelines: you declare steps and interfaces; any model/provider can fill them. Why this instead of yet another workflow builder? - Declarative, not glue code: you state what to do; the runtime figures out how. - Agent-first: each step carries natural-language context (purpose, inputs/outputs with meaning) so LLMs can follow, audit, and optimize. Our MCP server enables agents to run pipelines but also to build new pipelines on demand. - Open…
