MicroBots is a lightweight, extensible AI agent for code comprehension and controlled file edits. It integrates cleanly into automation pipelines, mounting a target directory with explicit read-only or read/write modes so LLMs can safely inspect, refactor, or generate files with least-privilege access.

pip install microbotsfrom microbots import WritingBot
myWritingBot = WritingBot(
model="azure-openai/my-gpt5",
folder_to_mount=str("myReactApp"),
)
data = myWritingBot.run(
"Fix the build error and make sure the build is successful.",
timeout_in_seconds=600,
)
print(data.results)| Bot | Description |
|---|---|
| ReadingBot | Reads files and extracts information based on instructions (read-only) |
| WritingBot | Reads and writes files based on instructions (read/write) |
| BrowsingBot | Browses the web to gather information |
| LogAnalysisBot | Analyzes logs for debugging |
| AgentBoss | Orchestrates multiple bots for complex tasks |
MicroBots creates a containerized environment and mounts the specified directory, restricting permissions to read-only or read/write based on the Bot used. This ensures AI agents operate within defined boundaries, enhancing security and control over code modifications while protecting the local environment.
Microbots supports multiple LLM providers — pick whichever fits your stack:
| Provider string | Description |
|---|---|
openai |
OpenAI or Azure OpenAI via the OpenAI SDK (API key) |
azure-openai |
Azure OpenAI via the Azure SDK (API key or Azure AD token) |
anthropic |
Anthropic models, direct or via Azure AI Foundry |
ollama-local |
Local models via Ollama |
Each provider has its own set of environment variables (endpoint, API key, deployment name, etc.). See the Authentication guide for the exact .env variables required for each provider and for Azure AD / managed identity setup.
