# 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

## Troubleshooting
### Agent Connection Issues
If you see "I'm having trouble connecting to my tools", make sure:
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
```
