## Install

<CodeGroup>
```bash npm
npm install llamaindex @llamaindex/workflow @agentic/llamaindex @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash pnpm
pnpm add llamaindex @llamaindex/workflow @agentic/llamaindex @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash bun
bun add llamaindex @llamaindex/workflow @agentic/llamaindex @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash yarn
yarn add llamaindex @llamaindex/workflow @agentic/llamaindex @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

</CodeGroup>

## Usage

This example uses the [`@agentic/search`](https://agentic.so/marketplace/projects/@agentic/search) tool.

```ts
import 'dotenv/config'

import { createLlamaIndexTools } from '@agentic/llamaindex'
import { AgenticToolClient } from '@agentic/platform-tool-client'
import { openai } from '@llamaindex/openai'
import { agent } from '@llamaindex/workflow'

async function main() {
  const searchTool = await AgenticToolClient.fromIdentifier('@agentic/search')

  const tools = createLlamaIndexTools(searchTool)
  const weatherAgent = agent({
    llm: openai({ model: 'gpt-4o-mini', temperature: 0 }),
    systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful assistant. Be as concise as possible.',
    tools
  })

  const response = await weatherAgent.run(
    'What is the weather in San Francisco?'
  )

  console.log(response.data.result)
}

await main()
```

<Expandable title="Additional dependencies">
This example also uses the [@llamaindex/openai](https://ts.llamaindex.ai/docs/llamaindex/modules/models/llms/openai) provider, which adds OpenAI support to LlamaIndex.

_Note that OpenAI is not necessary to use Agentic; this is just an example._

<CodeGroup>
```bash npm
npm install @llamaindex/openai dotenv
```

```bash pnpm
pnpm add @llamaindex/openai dotenv
```

```bash bun
bun add @llamaindex/openai dotenv
```

```bash yarn
yarn add @llamaindex/openai dotenv
```

## Running this example

<Note>
  You can view the full source for this example here:
  https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/agentic/tree/main/examples/ts-sdks/llamaindex
</Note>

<Info>
  You'll need an [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart)
  to run this example. Store it in a local `.env` file as `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
</Info>

```sh
git clone git@github.com:transitive-bullshit/agentic.git
cd agentic
pnpm install
pnpm build
echo 'OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key' >> .env
npx tsx examples/ts-sdks/llamaindex/bin/weather.ts
```

<Info>
  The
  [`@agentic/search`](https://agentic.so/marketplace/projects/@agentic/search)
  tool comes with a generous free tier, but once that runs out, you'll need to
  sign up for a paid plan and add an `AGENTIC_API_KEY` to your `.env` file.
