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 18+
• Python 3.8+
• OpenAI API Key (for the Agno agent)
• Any of the following package managers:
  • pnpm (recommended)
  • npm
  • yarn
  • bun

Note: This repository ignores lock files (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, bun.lockb) to avoid conflicts between different package managers. Each developer should generate their own lock file using their preferred package manager. After that, make sure to delete it from the .gitignore.

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies using your preferred package manager:

# Using pnpm (recommended)
pnpm install

# Using npm
npm install

# Using yarn
yarn install

# Using bun
bun install

2. Install Python dependencies for the Agno agent:

# Using pnpm
pnpm install:agent

# Using npm
npm run install:agent

# Using yarn
yarn install:agent

# Using bun
bun run install:agent

3. Set up your OpenAI API key:

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

4. Start the development server:

# Using pnpm
pnpm dev

# Using npm
npm run 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:debug - Starts development servers with debug logging enabled
• 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
• lint - Runs ESLint for code linting
• install:agent - Installs Python dependencies for the agent
