Quickstart

Prerequisites

OpenLiate is powered by Bun for ultra-fast startup and native TypeScript execution.

# Verify Bun is installed
bun --version

1. Installation

bun add -g openliate

npm install -g openliate

git clone https://github.com/openliate/openliate.git
cd openliate
bun install

2. Setting Up Your Environment

Create a .env file or export your Sarvam AI key:

export SARVAM_API_KEY="your-sarvam-api-key"

Or configure it persistently using the CLI:

liate env set SARVAM_API_KEY="your-sarvam-api-key"

3. The `agent.json` Manifest

OpenLiate defines agents in a minimal agent.json manifest following the L · I · A · T · E layers:

agent.json

{
  "L": "sarvam/sarvam-105b",
  "I": {
    "memory": "sessions/my-agent"
  },
  "A": {
    "name": "my_agent",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "intent": "Autonomous assistant for research and identity verification",
    "maxSteps": 5
  },
  "T": [
    "mcp:fetch",
    "verify_identity"
  ],
  "E": {
    "SARVAM_API_KEY": "$SARVAM_API_KEY"
  }
}

4. Run the Agent Locally

Execute your agent directly using the CLI:

liate run agent.json "Verify PAN ABCDE1234F and check if format is valid"

You can also run pre-packaged agents directly from the Liate Hub by name:

liate run identity-agent "Validate Aadhaar 367598345210"
liate run research-agent "Fetch https://openliate.tech and summarize"

5. Launch the LAPI HTTP Server

Start the headless Liate Agent Protocol Interface (LAPI) server:

liate serve --port 8080

Now invoke your agent from any application via HTTP:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent": "identity-agent",
    "prompt": "Verify PAN card ABCDE1234F"
  }'
