CopilotKit <> A2A + A2UI Starter

This is a starter template for building AI agents that use A2UI and CopilotKit. It provides a modern Next.js application with an integrated restaurant finder agent that can find restaurants and book reservations

Prerequisites

• Gemeni API Key (for the ADK/A2A agent)
• Python 3.12+
• uv
• Node.js 20+
• Any of the following package managers:
  • pnpm (recommended)
  • npm
  • yarn
  • bun

Note: This repository ignores lock files (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, bun.lockb) to avoid conflicts between different package managers. Each developer should generate their own lock file using their preferred package manager. After that, make sure to delete it from the .gitignore.

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies using your preferred package manager:

# Using pnpm (recommended)
pnpm install

# Using npm
npm install

# Using yarn
yarn install

# Using bun
bun install

Note: This will automatically setup the Python environment as well.

If you have manual isseus, you can run:

npm run install:agent

3. Set up your Gemeni API key:

Create a .env file inside the agent folder with the following content:

GEMENI_API_KEY=sk-...your-openai-key-here...

4. Start the development server:

# Using pnpm
pnpm dev

# Using npm
npm run dev

# Using yarn
yarn dev

# Using bun
bun run dev

This will start both the UI and agent servers concurrently.

Available Scripts

The following scripts can also be run using your preferred package manager:

• dev - Starts both UI and agent servers in development mode
• dev:debug - Starts development servers with debug logging enabled
• dev:ui - Starts only the Next.js UI server
• dev:agent - Starts only the PydanticAI agent server
• build - Builds the Next.js application for production
• start - Starts the production server
• lint - Runs ESLint for code linting
• install:agent - Installs Python dependencies for the agent

Documentation

The main UI component is in src/app/page.tsx, but most of the UI comes from from the agent in the form of A2UI declarative components. To see and edit the components it can generate, look in agent/prompt_builder.py. To generate new components, try the A2UI Composer

cd agent
uv sync
uv run .
