What are Structures?
====================

Gen AI Builder Structures are Python applications that use the
:ref:`Using the Gen AI Builder SDK <Using the Gen AI Builder SDK>`  to bring LLMs into your software environment. You can
create Structures in the form of agents, sequential task pipelines, and
parallelized workflows.

Structures can invoke other Structures, enabling Agents to interact with
other Agents to create multi-agent systems, or to invoke pipelines or
workflows.

Typically, developers can easily write and debug their software locally.
However, they would then need to find someplace else to host it for
testing and production. With Gen AI Builder Structures, you can start on
your laptop, and then deploy them directly to Gen AI Builder to run them
at scale.
