QwenPaw: What It Is and How to Build an Agent Workspace
QwenPaw, a framework for developing AI agents, can be deployed in Google Colab in a few steps. The tutorial shows how to set up the workspace and connect model providers through Colab Secrets. It then adds custom skills and local knowledge files, and finishes by testing the agent through the streaming API.

QwenPaw is a toolkit for developing and testing AI agents. It supports pluggable model providers, user-defined skills and a local knowledge base.
What is QwenPaw?
QwenPaw is a toolkit for developing and testing AI agents. It offers pluggable model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Qwen via the Dashscope API, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), modular skills, local knowledge files with a built-in RAG mechanism, and a REST API with streaming.
How do you get started with QwenPaw?
Install the package with pip and initialize a working directory with the command qwenpaw init. The framework creates the folder structure and a basic config.yaml. The tutorial walks through deploying a full workspace directly in Google Colab; API keys should be stored in Colab Secrets.
