This is a starter template for building AI agents using LangGraph and CopilotKit. It provides a modern Next.js application with an integrated LangGraph agent to be built on top of.
This project is organized as a monorepo using pnpm workspaces.

- Node.js 20+
- pnpm 9.15.0 or later
- OpenAI API Key (for the LangGraph agent)
- Install all dependencies (this installs everything for both apps):
pnpm install- Set up your OpenAI API key by copying the example env file and editing it:
cp apps/agent/.env.example apps/agent/.envThen open apps/agent/.env in your editor and fill in OPENAI_API_KEY with your key.
For production, also copy apps/web/.env.example to apps/web/.env and set LANGGRAPH_DEPLOYMENT_URL to your deployed agent URL.
- Start the development servers:
pnpm devThis will start both the Next.js app (on port 3000) and the LangGraph agent (on port 8125) via Turbo (installed as a dev dependency).
All scripts use Turbo to run tasks across the workspace:
pnpm dev- Starts both the web app and agent servers in development modepnpm build- Builds all apps for productionpnpm lint- Runs linting across all apps
You can also run scripts for individual apps using pnpm's filter flag:
# Run dev for just the web app
pnpm --filter web-langgraph-interrupt dev
# Run dev for just the agent
pnpm --filter agent-langgraph-interrupt dev
# Or navigate to the app directory
cd apps/web
pnpm devThe main UI component is in apps/web/src/app/page.tsx. You can:
- Modify the theme colors and styling
- Add new frontend actions
- Utilize shared-state
- Customize your user-interface for interacting with LangGraph
The LangGraph agent code is in apps/agent/src/.
