Setup

Requirements, wiring steps, and what this pattern adds to your project.

Getting started

Pick how you want to pull this pattern in — then wire env vars and routes the same way.

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, UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL, UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN
3
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.
4
Run your dev server and open the pattern route
Install dependencies if needed, then start the app and verify responses.
