Introduction

AgentKit is a production-ready starter template for building AI chat applications with web search capabilities. It ships with authentication, PostgreSQL persistence, streaming responses, and a modern UI built with shadcn/ui — everything you need to launch fast.

AI-Powered Web Search

Toggle web search on or off with a single click. When enabled, your agent can search the web for current information, recent events, and up-to-date data using Exa search tools.

Modern Chat Interface

Pre-built chat UI with streaming responses, file uploads, message history, and tool call visualization. Built with shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS for a responsive, polished experience.

Authentication and Persistence

Clerk authentication with email/password and OAuth support. Conversations are saved to PostgreSQL via Prisma with user-scoped chat history.

Production Ready

Includes error handling, loading states, responsive design, and deployment guidance for Vercel. Full TypeScript coverage throughout the codebase.
