# CopilotKit <> CrewAI Flow Starter
This is a starter template for building AI agents using [CrewAI Flows](https://docs.crewai.com/en/concepts/flows) and [CopilotKit](https://copilotkit.ai). It provides a modern Next.js application with an integrated CrewAI Flow agent to be built on top of.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- Python 3.10+
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) - Fast Python package installer and resolver
- 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 Flow 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 using `uv`. This will automatically create a virtual environment and install dependencies from `pyproject.toml`.
2. Set up your OpenAI API key:
```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 CrewAI Flow agent server
- `build` - Builds the Next.js application for production
- `start` - Starts the production server
- `install:agent` - Installs Python dependencies for the agent using `uv`
## 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 Flow

## Troubleshooting
### Agent Connection Issues
If you see "I'm having trouble connecting to my tools", make sure:
1. The CrewAI Flow agent is running on port 8000
2. Your OpenAI API key is set correctly
3. Both servers started successfully
