CopilotKit <> Agno Starter

This is a starter template for building AI agents using Agno and CopilotKit. It provides a modern Next.js application with an integrated investment analyst agent that can research stocks, analyze market data, and provide investment insights.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• Python 3.12+
• uv (Python package manager)
• OpenAI API Key (for the Agno agent)
• Any of the following package managers:
  • npm (default)
  • pnpm
  • yarn
  • bun

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies using your preferred package manager:

# Using npm (default)
npm install

# Using pnpm
pnpm install

# Using yarn
yarn install

# Using bun
bun install

Note: Installing the package dependencies will also install the agent's python dependencies via the install:agent script.

2. Set up your OpenAI API key:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key-here"

or create a .env file.

echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key-here" > .env

3. Start the development server:

# Using npm (default)
npm run dev

# Using pnpm
pnpm dev

# Using yarn
yarn dev

# Using bun
bun run dev

This will start both the UI and agent servers concurrently.

Available Scripts

The following scripts can also be run using your preferred package manager:

• dev - Starts both UI and agent servers in development mode
• dev:ui - Starts only the Next.js UI server
• dev:agent - Starts only the Agno agent server
• build - Builds the Next.js application for production
• start - Starts the production server
• install:agent - Installs Python dependencies for the agent

3. Both servers started successfully

Python Dependencies

If you encounter Python import errors:

cd agent
uv sync
