Deep Agents Finance ERP

A finance ERP showcase powered by CopilotKit deep agents. An AI assistant can analyze invoices, review accounts, check inventory, manage HR data, generate financial reports, compose themed dashboards, and provide actionable business insights.

Stack: Next.js 16 (frontend) + FastAPI / LangGraph (agent) + Postgres (persistence) + CopilotKit (AI layer)

Highlights:

7 frontend tools (6 UI + 1 HITL) registered via useRenderTool / useHumanInTheLoop
12 dashboard widget types with 4 pre-built templates (Executive Summary, Cash Flow Risk, Cost Control, Revenue Overview)
Dashboard gallery (/dashboards) for browsing, loading, saving, and deleting layouts
Multi-agent orchestration: orchestrator + research subagent (13 tools) + projections subagent (6 tools)
Human-in-the-loop approval for invoice payments and inventory reorders

Prerequisites

Docker (for Postgres)
Python 3.11+
Node.js 18+
An OpenAI API key

Quick start

bash

npm run dev:all

This single command starts Postgres, seeds the database, launches the agent, and runs the frontend. Open http://localhost:3000.

Step-by-step setup

1. Postgres

bash

npm run db        # start the container
npm run db:seed   # start container + seed tables

2. Agent (Python)

Copy the example env and add your OpenAI key:

bash

cp agent/.env.example agent/.env
# edit agent/.env — set OPENAI_API_KEY

Then start the agent:

bash

npm run agent     # installs deps in a venv, starts FastAPI on port 8123

3. Frontend (Next.js)

bash

npm run env:init  # creates .env.local from example (if missing)
npm run dev       # starts Next.js on port 3000
