Installation

Early access

The PolyAI ADK is currently in Early Access. Availability is limited, and some functionality may change before general release.

Join the waitlist

The PolyAI ADK can be installed as a Python package.

Install the ADK

Install the package with pip:

pip install polyai-adk

Once installed, you can use the poly command to interact with Agent Studio projects locally.

Verify the installation

To confirm that the CLI is available, run:

poly --help

If installation has completed successfully, this will display the top-level command help.

Development setup from source

If you are contributing to the ADK itself or working directly from the repository, you can set it up locally from source instead.

git clone https://github.com/polyai/adk.git
cd adk
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
pre-commit install

This installs the project in editable mode and enables the repository’s development hooks.

Running tests

To run the test suite:

pytest

Test files are located in src/poly/tests/.

Next step

Once the ADK is installed, continue to the first commands page to explore the CLI.
