What is Julep?
Julep is a platform for building AI agents with persistent state, multi-step workflows, and long-term memory. Unlike stateless LLM calls, Julep agents maintain context across sessions, execute complex multi-step tasks, and integrate with 100+ external tools — all managed server-side.
Answer-Ready: Julep is a stateful AI agent platform with multi-step workflows, long-term memory, and 100+ tool integrations. Agents persist across sessions with server-side state management. Works with Claude, GPT, and Gemini models.
Best for: Developers building persistent AI agents that need memory and multi-step workflows. Works with: Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Llama. Setup time: Under 5 minutes.
Core Features
1. Multi-Step Workflows
# Define complex workflows in YAML
name: research_and_report
steps:
- tool: web_search
arguments:
query: "{{topic}} latest developments 2026"
- prompt: |
Summarize these search results into key findings:
{{_.output}}
- tool: send_email
arguments:
to: "{{user_email}}"
subject: "Research Report: {{topic}}"
body: "{{_.output}}"2. Long-Term Memory
# Memories persist across sessions
session1 = client.sessions.create(agent_id=agent.id)
client.sessions.chat(session1.id, messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "My name is Alice and I work on payments"}
])
# New session, agent remembers
session2 = client.sessions.create(agent_id=agent.id)
response = client.sessions.chat(session2.id, messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "What do you know about me?"}
])
# "You're Alice and you work on payments"3. Document Storage
# Upload documents for RAG
client.agents.docs.create(
agent_id=agent.id,
title="Company Handbook",
content="...",
metadata={"type": "policy", "year": 2026},
)
# Agent searches docs during conversation4. Tool Integrations
100+ built-in integrations:
| Category | Tools |
|---|---|
| Search | Brave, Google, Wikipedia |
| Communication | Email, Slack, Discord |
| Data | SQL, S3, Google Sheets |
| Code | Python execution, GitHub |
| Browser | Web scraping, screenshots |
5. Parallel Execution
steps:
- parallel:
- tool: web_search
arguments: { query: "topic A" }
- tool: web_search
arguments: { query: "topic B" }
- tool: web_search
arguments: { query: "topic C" }
- prompt: "Compare findings: {{_.output}}"Architecture
