# CopilotKit <> CrewAI Crew Starter
This is a starter template for building AI agents using [CrewAI Crews](https://docs.crewai.com/en/concepts/crews) and [CopilotKit](https://copilotkit.ai). It provides a modern Next.js application with an integrated CrewAI Crew agent to be built on top of.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- Python 3.8+
- 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/)
- OpenAI API Key (for the CrewAI Crew agent)
## 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
cd agent
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 CrewAI Crew 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
## Documentation
The main UI component is in `src/app/page.tsx`. You can:
- Modify the theme colors and styling
- Add new frontend actions
- Utilize shared-state
- Customize your user-interface for interacting with CrewAI Crews
