1
Install from the preview toolbar
Copy the install command above and run it in your project — Pro patterns include a short-lived token.
2
Add environment variables to .env.local
OPENAI_API_KEY, PERPLEXITY_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
3
Point client fetches at your API routes
Replace preview `/view/.../api/...` paths with `/api/...` in the installed files.
4
Customize the agent and tool files
Adapt prompts, tools, and stop conditions for your product — Copy for AI in the toolbar helps seed that work.
5
Run your dev server and open the pattern route
Install dependencies if needed, then start the app and verify responses.

routing-agent/route.ts
Core routing agent API route. Implements a 3-stage AI pipeline: (1) classifies user input via generateObject into support categories, (2) routes to specialized agent config with tailored system prompts, (3) selects model based on complexity. Uses createUIMessageStream with custom data parts for streaming classification metadata and agent info to the client.
lib/ai-routing-types.ts
Defines the routing agent's type system: RoutingDataParts, RoutingMetadata, RoutingUIMessage, and agentConfigs map that maps 7 classification categories to agent configurations (task, icon, color, systemPrompt). Contains getAgentConfig() which resolves classification type to agent config.
