About

The llm.rb family shares a common foundation: zero external dependencies by default, a single runtime for providers and tools, and the permissive 0BSD license.

llm.rb is the core Ruby AI runtime. rails-llm integrates it into Rails with generators and a chat engine. mruby-llm brings the same architecture to embedded mruby environments. robert is a complete FreeBSD AI assistant built on mruby-llm. And relay.app is a full-featured web application that you can self-host and extend.

Together, these projects provide a complete ecosystem for building AI-powered applications in Ruby — from embedded systems and CLI tools to full-stack Rails applications, all backed by the same proven runtime that supports every major LLM provider.
