Step 1: Install and run

# Create your agent project
npm create agentbase@latest

# Navigate and start
cd my-agent
npm run dev
You’ll be prompted to add your API key on first use.

​
Step 2: Test capabilities

Try these prompts in the CLI to understand what agents can do: 
> What can you do?
> Write and run a Python function to calculate fibonacci numbers
> Search for the latest AI news and summarize it
> Create a React component for a user profile card

​
Step 3: Understand agent modes

Change the mode in your index.ts file: 
const params = { 
  message: message,
  mode: "fast" // "fast", "flash", or "max"
};
Mode differences:
  • Fast: Balanced performance (recommended for production)
  • Flash: Shows agent thinking process (great for learning)
  • Max: Advanced reasoning for complex tasks
