Description
With the latest version of PraisonAI. straming is still not real time. When in verbose mode you can see the internal logs of the tool streaming the output. But as a use the final output we get is an accumulation of the internal streams.

Environment
Provider (select one):

Anthropic

OpenAI

Google Vertex AI

AWS Bedrock

Other:
PraisonAI version: latest
Operating System:
Full Code
from praisonaiagents import Agent

agent = Agent(
instructions="You are a helpful assistant",
llm="gemini/gemini-2.0-flash",
self_reflect=False,
verbose=False,
stream=True
)

for chunk in agent.start("Write a report on about the history of the world"):
print(chunk, end="", flush=True)
or

from praisonaiagents import Agent

agent = Agent(
instructions="You are a helpful assistant",
llm="gemini/gemini-2.0-flash",
self_reflect=False,
verbose=True,
stream=True
)

result = agent.start("Write a report on about the history of the world")
print(result)
Steps to Reproduce
intall the lib
copy the code above
run them and observe
Expected Behavior
Instead of streaming the internal response that the user does not see we should stream realtime to the user so as to avoid unnecessary latency and improve user experience

Actual Behavior
Streaming happens internally we do not get the stream in the final response.

I've completed a detailed analysis and implemented a solution to fix the streaming issue (#981). The implementation adds real-time streaming capabilities while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Key Changes (commit fda1ca3):

• Added StreamableResponse class that supports both iteration and string operations
• Modified Agent.chat() and Agent.start() to return StreamableResponse when stream=True
• Implemented _chat_stream() method for real-time chunk generation
• Maintained backward compatibility - existing code continues to work unchanged

User can now use the expected pattern:

for chunk in agent.start("Write a report on about the history of the world"):
    print(chunk, end="", flush=True)

Backward compatibility preserved:

result = agent.start("Write a report")  # Still works
print(result)  # String operations work

The solution handles complex scenarios (JSON output, self-reflection) by falling back to the existing implementation, ensuring no existing features are removed. All tests pass for both streaming and non-streaming modes.
