This document aims to concisely introduce the core functionalities and quick start methods of the Gai application and its open-source connector PyGai, with a particular focus on illustrating their collaborative workflow in implementing intelligent scheduled tasks.
Gai is an application specifically designed to lower the barrier to entry for generative AI, empowering beginners to master the essence of AI applications. It offers a clean and intuitive user interface, with all core functionalities (e.g., prompt management, system instruction sets, and generated content storage) operating entirely offline on the user's local device, ensuring robust data privacy and security. Gai connects to the network only when requesting content generation from external AI services, and explicitly does not retain any user input or generated results, ensuring data sovereignty. User registration is optional, and all core capabilities can be experienced without registering.
Key Features:
- Local-First Design, Ensuring Data Privacy: All user data, configurations, and generated content are stored offline on the local device.
- Streamlined Interaction, Focused AI Creation: Provides an intuitive interface, simplifying the AI generation process to guide users from usage to mastery.
- Flexible Registration, Full Functionality: Registration is an optional feature and does not affect the use of core AI generation capabilities.
Quick Start:
PyGai is Gai's powerful open-source connector, designed to empower users with custom development and integration capabilities. It allows extending Gai's functionalities via Python code, enabling seamless integration with external systems and building customized AI workflows. PyGai acts as a bridge between the Gai application and external services, responsible for task scheduling, instruction distribution, and centralized result processing.
Core Capabilities:
- Data Ingestion (PromptIngest): Programmatically inject prompts into
Gai, supporting dynamic configuration of associated system instructions, generation parameters, and safety levels for conditional batch content production. - Content Delivery (ContentDelivery): Utilizes
Gai-generated content as a data source, exporting it to external systems to support downstream processing (e.g., content distribution to websites, comment publishing).

The combination of Gai and PyGai enables powerful automated workflows, especially for scheduled tasks. Gai acts as the core executor for AI content generation, while PyGai serves as an intelligent scheduler and data bridge, jointly accomplishing automated content generation, processing, and distribution, thereby enhancing work efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
When Gai and PyGai collaborate on scheduled tasks, the process generally follows these steps:
- PyGai Provides Instructions (Instruction Source): The
PyGaiconnector, based on preset conditions (e.g., time, topic), dynamically filters and outputs one or more prompt instructions to theGaiapplication via its API. - Gai Generates Content (Task Definition): The
Gaiapplication receives instructions fromPyGaiand utilizes local AI models to generate text or image content. - Gai Callbacks Results (Result Handling):
Gaisends the generated content back to thePyGaiconnector, and also records task execution logs locally. - PyGai Post-Processes (Result Handling): The
PyGaiconnector receives the generated content and, according to its preset extension mechanism (PyGaiCustomize), stores, publishes it to external systems (e.g., static websites, CMS), or triggers other customized business logic, achieving automated content distribution.

- Instruction Source: Input instructions for scheduled tasks can originate from
Gai's local user prompt library or be dynamically retrieved viaPyGai's API. - Task Definition: Users can flexibly configure task execution frequency (e.g., hourly, daily) using Cron expressions and specify the particular AI generation instructions
Gaineeds to execute. - Result Handling:
Gaiautomatically archives generated content to a local log, and callbacks results toPyGaivia API to support centralized management or further business processing, while also supporting email notifications for task status.
- Batch Content Generation: Automating large-scale production of articles, product reviews, marketing copy, etc., for the same topic or prompt.
- Diverse Content Expansion: Generating multi-dimensional, multi-perspective series of content (e.g., thematic article series, multi-angle news reports) based on different prompts.
- Automated Content Publishing & Distribution: Automatically publishing AI-generated content to static websites, Content Management Systems (CMS), social media, or triggering email marketing campaigns.
- Data Analysis & Interaction: Integrating data analysis for generated content, or enabling interactive features like comments and replies, through
PyGai's extension mechanism.
