## Install

<CodeGroup>
```bash npm
npm install ai @agentic/ai-sdk @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash pnpm
pnpm add ai @agentic/ai-sdk @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash bun
bun add ai @agentic/ai-sdk @agentic/platform-tool-client
```

```bash yarn
yarn add ai @agentic/ai-sdk @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 { createAISDKTools } from '@agentic/ai-sdk'
import { AgenticToolClient } from '@agentic/platform-tool-client'
import { createOpenAI } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
import { generateText } from 'ai'

async function main() {
  const searchTool = await AgenticToolClient.fromIdentifier('@agentic/search')
  const openai = createOpenAI({ compatibility: 'strict' })

  const result = await generateText({
    model: openai('gpt-4o-mini'),
    tools: createAISDKTools(searchTool),
    toolChoice: 'required',
    temperature: 0,
    system: 'You are a helpful assistant. Be as concise as possible.',
    prompt: 'What is the weather in San Francisco?'
  })

  console.log(JSON.stringify(result.toolResults[0], null, 2))
}

await main()
```

<Expandable title="Additional dependencies">
This example also uses the [@ai-sdk/openai](https://ai-sdk.dev/providers/ai-sdk-providers/openai) provider, which adds OpenAI support to the Vercel AI SDK.

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

<CodeGroup>
```bash npm
npm install @ai-sdk/openai dotenv
```

```bash pnpm
pnpm add @ai-sdk/openai dotenv
```

```bash bun
bun add @ai-sdk/openai dotenv
```

```bash yarn
yarn add @ai-sdk/openai dotenv
```

## Running this example

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

<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>

<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.
</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/ai-sdk/bin/weather.ts
```
