+# CopilotKit <> strands Starter
+
+This is a starter template for building AI agents using [strands](https://strands.com) and [CopilotKit](https://copilotkit.ai). 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](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (Python package manager)
+- OpenAI API Key (for the strands agent)
+- Any of the following package managers:
+  - npm (default)
+  - [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation)
+  - [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/)
+  - [bun](https://bun.sh/)
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Install dependencies using your preferred package manager:
+
+```bash
+# 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:
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key-here"
+```
+
+or create a `.env` file.
+
+```bash
+echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key-here" > .env
+```
+
+3. Start the development server:
+
+```bash
+# 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 strands agent server
+- `build` - Builds the Next.js application for production
+- `start` - Starts the production server
+- `install:agent` - Installs Python dependencies for the agent
+
+## 📚 Documentation
+
+The main UI component is in `src/app/page.tsx`. You can:
+
+- Modify the theme colors and styling
+- Add new frontend actions
+- Customize the CopilotKit sidebar appearance
+
+Otherwise, check out the documentation relevant to your task:

+
+1. The strands agent is running on port 8000
+2. Your OpenAI API key is set correctly
+3. Both servers started successfully
+
+### Python Dependencies
+
+If you encounter Python import errors:
+
+```bash
+cd agent
+uv sync
+```
