  Compositional AI systems, which combine multiple artificial intelligence
components together with other application components to solve a larger
problem, have no known pattern of development and are often approached in a
bespoke and ad hoc style. This makes development slower and harder to reuse for
future applications. To support the full rapid development cycle of
compositional AI applications, we have developed a novel framework called
(Bee)* (written as a regular expression and pronounced as "beestar"). We
illustrate how (Bee)* supports building integrated, scalable, and interactive
compositional AI applications with a simplified developer experience.
