Intro

Agentic is a standard library of AI functions / tools which are optimized for both normal TS-usage as well as LLM-based usage. Agentic works with all of the major TS AI SDKs (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI SDK, etc).

Agentic clients like WeatherClient can be used as normal TS classes:

import { WeatherClient } from '@agentic/stdlib'

// Requires `process.env.WEATHER_API_KEY` (from weatherapi.com)
const weather = new WeatherClient()

const result = await weather.getCurrentWeather({
  q: 'San Francisco'
})
console.log(result)

Or you can use these clients as LLM-based tools where the LLM decides when and how to invoke the underlying functions for you.

This works across all of the major AI SDKs via adapters. Here's an example using Vercel's AI SDK:

// sdk-specific imports
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'
import { generateText } from 'ai'
import { createAISDKTools } from '@agentic/ai-sdk'

// sdk-agnostic imports
import { WeatherClient } from '@agentic/stdlib'

const weather = new WeatherClient()

const result = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o-mini'),
  // this is the key line which uses the `@agentic/ai-sdk` adapter
  tools: createAISDKTools(weather),
  toolChoice: 'required',
  prompt: 'What is the weather in San Francisco?'
})

console.log(result.toolResults[0])

You can use our standard library of thoroughly tested AI functions with your favorite AI SDK – without having to write any glue code!

Here's a slightly more complex example which uses multiple clients and selects a subset of their functions using the AIFunctionSet.pick method:

// sdk-specific imports
import { ChatModel, createAIRunner } from '@dexaai/dexter'
import { createDexterFunctions } from '@agentic/dexter'

// sdk-agnostic imports
import { PerigonClient, SerperClient } from '@agentic/stdlib'

async function main() {
  // Perigon is a news API and Serper is a Google search API
  const perigon = new PerigonClient()
  const serper = new SerperClient()

  const runner = createAIRunner({
    chatModel: new ChatModel({
      params: { model: 'gpt-4o-mini', temperature: 0 }
    }),
    functions: createDexterFunctions(
      perigon.functions.pick('search_news_stories'),
      serper
    ),
    systemMessage: 'You are a helpful assistant. Be as concise as possible.'
  })

  const result = await runner(
    'Summarize the latest news stories about the upcoming US election.'
  )
  console.log(result)
}

Here we've exposed 2 functions to the LLM, search_news_stories (which comes from the PerigonClient.searchStories method) and serper_google_search (which implicitly comes from the SerperClient.search method).

All of the SDK adapters like createDexterFunctions accept very flexible AIFunctionLike objects, which include:

• AIFunctionSet - Sets of AI functions (like perigon.functions.pick('search_news_stories') or perigon.functions or serper.functions)
• AIFunctionsProvider - Client classes which expose an AIFunctionSet via the .functions property (like perigon or serper)
• AIFunction - Individual functions (like perigon.functions.get('search_news_stories') or serper.functions.get('serper_google_search') or AI functions created directly via the createAIFunction utility function)

You can pass as many of these AIFunctionLike objects as you'd like and you can manipulate them as AIFunctionSet sets via .pick, .omit, .get, .map, etc.

Install

npm install @agentic/stdlib @agentic/core zod

• @agentic/core - exports core AI utils and @aiFunction decorator
• @agentic/stdlib - exports all of the built-in AI tools (convenience wrapper around the individual tool packages; see Optimized Imports if you'd rather import the individual packages directly)
• zod - used for schema validation

[!NOTE] This package is ESM only and requires Node.js >= 18 or an equivalent environment (bun, deno, CF workers, etc).

Optimized Imports

@agentic/stdlib is just a convenience package which re-exports all of the built-in AI tool packages. If you want to optimize your imports, you can replace @agentic/stdlib with the specific AI tools you want. For example:

npm install @agentic/weather @agentic/core zod

import { WeatherClient } from '@agentic/weather'

[!NOTE] There is no functional difference between using @agentic/stdlib versus using the individual packages directly. The only difference is if you want to optimize your install size (when running on serverless functions, for instance), in which case installing and using the individual packages directly will be more efficient. The default examples use @agentic/stdlib because it provides a simpler DX.

AI SDKs

To use Agentic with one of the supported AI SDKs, you'll also need to install its (really lightweight) adapter package.

Vercel AI SDk

Install

npm install @agentic/ai-sdk ai

import { createAISDKTools } from '@agentic/ai-sdk'

See examples/ai-sdk for a full example.

LangChain

Install

npm install @agentic/langchain @langchain/core langchain

import { createLangChainTools } from '@agentic/langchain'

See examples/langchain for a full example.

LlamaIndex

Install

npm install @agentic/llamaindex llamaindex

import { createLlamaIndexTools } from '@agentic/llamaindex'

See examples/llamaindex for a full example.

Firebase Genkit

Install

npm install @agentic/genkit @genkit-ai/ai @genkit-ai/core

import { createGenkitTools } from '@agentic/genkit'

See examples/genkit for a full example.

Dexa Dexter

Install

npm install @agentic/dexter @dexaai/dexter

import { createDexterFunctions } from '@agentic/dexter'

See examples/dexter for a full example.

OpenAI SDK

Install

npm install openai

There's no need for an 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.

import { WeatherClient } from '@agentic/stdlib'
import OpenAI from 'openai'

const weather = new WeatherClient()
const openai = new OpenAI()

const messages: OpenAI.ChatCompletionMessageParam[] = [
  {
    role: 'system',
    content: 'You are a helpful assistant. Be as concise as possible.'
  },
  { role: 'user', content: 'What is the weather in San Francisco?' }
]

const res = await openai.chat.completions.create({
  messages,
  model: 'gpt-4o-mini',
  temperature: 0,
  tools: weather.functions.toolSpecs,
  tool_choice: 'required'
})
const message = res.choices[0]?.message!
console.log(JSON.stringify(message, null, 2))
assert(message.tool_calls?.[0]?.function?.name === 'get_current_weather')

const fn = weather.functions.get('get_current_weather')!

const toolParams = message.tool_calls[0].function.arguments
const toolResult = await fn(toolParams)
console.log(JSON.stringify(toolResult, null, 2))

See examples/openai for a full example.

Client Design Philosophy

• clients should be as minimal as possible
• clients should use ky and zod where possible
• clients should have a strongly-typed TS DX
• clients should expose select methods via the @aiFunction(...) decorator
  • inputSchema zod schemas should be as minimal as possible with descriptions prompt engineered specifically for use with LLMs
• clients and AIFunctions should be composable via AIFunctionSet
• clients should work with all major TS AI SDKs
