Quick Start

Prerequisite: All Agentic packages are ESM only and require Node.js >= 18 or an equivalent environment (Bun, Deno, CF workers, etc).

Install core deps (zod)

npm install zod

Install AI tools

You can either install all of the AI tools via @agentic/stdlib, or you can install them individually via their respective packages (@agentic/weather, @agentic/twitter, etc.).

There is no functional difference between using @agentic/stdlib versus using the individual tool packages directly. The only difference is if you want to optimize your install size.

The default examples all use @agentic/stdlib for simplicity.

Install an AI SDK Adapter

To use Agentic with one of the supported AI SDKs, you’ll also need to install its corresponding adapter package.

npm install openai

There’s no need for a separate adapter with the OpenAI SDK since all agentic tools are compatible with OpenAI by default. You can use AIFunctionSet.specs for function calling or AIFunctionSet.toolSpecs for parallel tool calling.

See the OpenAI adapter docs for usage details.

You can use Agentic without any of these AI SDKs. @agentic/core, @agentic/stdlib, and all individual tool packages are compatible with any LLM and AI SDK that supports function calling / tool use.
