      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hey everybody, Kais here!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I've been working on an open-source project for a while and am excited to tell you about it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lately, I've been integrating LLM-powered features into applications and found the process complex and time-consuming. From dealing with unexpected LLM outputs to constant data validation struggles and managing LLM flow, history, and server-client interactions—it can be a real headache.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That’s why I built &lt;a href="https://scoopika.com"&gt;Scoopika&lt;/a&gt;, an open-source platform that helps you integrate reliable AI agents into your applications effortlessly. These agents can collaborate and access external tools, all without the hassle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Key Features of Scoopika
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are some powerful features Scoopika offers out of the box and totally for free:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Custom AI Agents&lt;/strong&gt;: Build AI agents that can collaborate, use external tools &amp;amp; APIs, and access real-time data based on context.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LLM Output Validation&lt;/strong&gt;: Ensure full type-safety with LLM output validation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real-Time Streaming&lt;/strong&gt;: Stream agent responses in real-time with over 10 hooks that work on both server and client-side with no additional setup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Client-Side Actions&lt;/strong&gt;: Empower agents to perform actions in the user's browser in real-time for a next-level user experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Managed Sessions &amp;amp; History&lt;/strong&gt;: Keep track of conversations and maintain session history easily.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secure API Keys&lt;/strong&gt;: Connect your LLMs with your API keys safely stored on your servers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Getting started
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let’s see how to get started with building AI agents using Scoopika.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://scoopika.com/login"&gt;Create a Free Account&lt;/a&gt;: Go to the Scoopika platform and sign up for a free account.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://scoopika.com/app?new=y"&gt;Create Your Agent&lt;/a&gt;: Simply give your agent a name, description, avatar, and prompt. You can choose the LLM powering your agent from a variety of available providers and models.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://scoopika.com/settings?tab=tokens"&gt;Generate a Token&lt;/a&gt;: Go here to generate a token for your agent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Run agent
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, install the Scoopika package:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;npm &lt;span class="nb"&gt;install&lt;/span&gt; @scoopika/scoopika
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Then, initialize Scoopika and run your agent in your code:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fcxbb5772viq5j1stcjhd.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fcxbb5772viq5j1stcjhd.png" alt="Initialize and run Scoopika" width="800" height="668"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And that’s it! Now you have an agent running on your server with all the built-in features mentioned above.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Web integration
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We provide guides and examples for specific frameworks &lt;a href="https://docs.scoopika.com/guides"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to use agents on the client-side, you need to create an API that uses the Scoopika container to handle requests with built-in caching and can communicate with the Scoopika client library. Here’s a simple example of creating a full API with Express:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fjv2wc76i2tnj4sldygfh.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fjv2wc76i2tnj4sldygfh.png" alt="Add Scoopika API route" width="800" height="645"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now you’re good to go! You can run your agents, manage sessions, and more, all from the client-side thanks to the route we added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, install the Scoopika client library:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;npm &lt;span class="nb"&gt;install&lt;/span&gt; @scoopika/client
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Then, see the code to run an agent:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fm57r6856za5y6t3n5wqb.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fm57r6856za5y6t3n5wqb.png" alt="Image description" width="800" height="658"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I highly recommend you check out the &lt;a href="https://docs.scoopika.com"&gt;documentation&lt;/a&gt; to learn more about equipping agents with tools, running multi-agent boxes, and adding agents as tools to other agents.&lt;/p&gt;
