| 2 | |
| 3 | Build AI Agents with a **No-Code Visual Builder** or **TypeScript SDK**. Agents can be edited in either with **full 2-way sync**, so technical and non-technical teams can create and manage Agents in one platform. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Get started with the [docs](https://docs.inkeep.com) or [1-minute quick start](https://docs.inkeep.com/get-started/quick-start). |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Two ways to build |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ### No-Code Visual Builder |
| 10 | |
| 11 | A drag-and-drop canvas so any team can create and own the Agents they care about. |

| 18 | /> |
| 19 | |
| 20 | ### TypeScript Agents SDK |
| 21 | |
| 22 | A code-first framework so engineering teams can build with typesafety, intellisense, CI/CD, and the tools they expect. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ```typescript |
| 25 | import { agent, subAgent } from "@inkeep/agents-sdk"; |
| 26 | import { consoleMcp } from "./mcp"; |
| 27 | |
| 28 | const helloAgent = subAgent({ |
| 29 | id: "hello-agent", |
| 30 | name: "Hello Agent", |
| 31 | description: "Says hello", |
| 32 | canUse: () => [consoleMcp], |
| 33 | prompt: `Reply to the user and console log "hello world" with fun variations like h3llo world`, |
| 34 | }); |
| 35 | |
| 36 | export const basicAgent = agent({ |
| 37 | id: "basic-agent", |
| 38 | name: "Basic Agent", |
| 39 | description: "A basic agent", |
| 40 | defaultSubAgent: helloAgent, |
| 41 | subAgents: () => [helloAgent], |
| 42 | }); |
| 43 | ``` |
| 44 | |
| 45 | The **Visual Builder and TypeScript SDK are fully interoperable**: technical and non-technical teams can edit and manage Agents in either format and collaborate with others at any time. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | ## Use Cases |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Inkeep Agents can operate as real-time **AI Chat Assistants**, for example: |
| 50 | - a customer experience agent for help centers, technical docs, or in-app experiences |
| 51 | - an internal copilot to assist your support, sales, marketing, ops, and other teams |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Agents can also be used for **AI Workflow Automation** like: |
| 54 | - Creating and updating knowledge bases, documentation, and blogs |
| 55 | - Updating CRMs, triaging helpdesk tickets, and tackling repetitive tasks |
| 56 | |
| 57 | ## Platform Overview |
| 58 | |
| 59 | **Inkeep Open Source** includes: |
| 60 | - A Visual Builder & TypeScript SDK with 2-way sync |
| 61 | - Multi-agent architecture to support teams of agents |
| 62 | - MCP Tools with credential management |
| 63 | - A UI component library for dynamic chat experiences |
| 64 | - Triggering Agents via MCP, A2A, & Vercel SDK APIs |
| 65 | - Observability via a Traces UI & OpenTelemetry |
| 66 | - Easy deployment using Vercel or Docker |
| 67 | |
| 68 | For a full overview, see the [Concepts](https://docs.inkeep.com/concepts) guide. |

| 72 | ## Architecture |
| 73 | |
| 74 | The Inkeep Agent Platform is composed of several key services and libraries that work together: |
| 75 | |
| 76 | - **agents-api**: An API that handles configuration of Agents, Sub Agents, MCP Servers, Credentials, and Projects with a REST API. Additionally, it exposes Agent execution and evaluation. The API tracks conversation state and emits OTEL traces. |
| 77 | - **agents-manage-ui**: Visual Builder web interface for creating and managing Agents. Writes to the `agents-api`. |
| 78 | - **agents-sdk**: TypeScript SDK (`@inkeep/agents-sdk`) for declaratively defining Agents and custom tools in code. Writes to `agents-api`. |
| 79 | - **agents-cli**: Includes various handy utilities, including `inkeep push` and `inkeep pull` which sync your TypeScript SDK code with the Visual Builder. |
| 80 | - **agents-ui**: A UI component library of chat interfaces for embedding rich, dynamic conversational AI experiences in web apps. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Under the hood, the framework uses the [Vercel AI SDK](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/introduction) for interfacing with LLM providers, so it's compatible with Vercel's [`useChat`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/ai-sdk-ui) hook and other AI primatives. |
