# Helios Framework - Complete Summary
## ๐ฏ What is Helios?
Helios is a **production-ready Rust framework** for building LLM-powered agents with tool support, conversation management, and flexible configuration. It provides a clean, type-safe API for creating intelligent agents that can interact with users, execute tools, and maintain conversation context.

## ๐ก Example Usage
### Minimal Example
```rust
use helios::{Agent, Config};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> helios::Result<()> {
let config = Config::from_file("config.toml")?;
let mut agent = Agent::builder("Assistant")
.config(config)
.build()?;
let response = agent.chat("Hello!").await?;
println!("{}", response);
Ok(())
}
```
### With Tools
```rust
use helios::{Agent, Config, CalculatorTool};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> helios::Result<()> {
let config = Config::from_file("config.toml")?;
let mut agent = Agent::builder("MathBot")
.config(config)
.tool(Box::new(CalculatorTool))
.build()?;
let response = agent.chat("What is 15 * 8?").await?;
println!("{}", response);
Ok(())
}
```
