Lindy Hello World

Lindy Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example demonstrating core Lindy AI agent functionality.

Prerequisites

• Completed lindy-install-auth setup
• Valid API credentials configured
• Development environment ready

Instructions

Step 1: Create Entry File

Create a new file for your hello world example.

Step 2: Import and Initialize Client

import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';

const lindy = new Lindy({
  apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY,
});

Step 3: Create Your First Agent

async function main() {
  // Create a simple AI agent
  const agent = await lindy.agents.create({
    name: 'Hello World Agent',
    description: 'My first Lindy agent',
    instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant that greets users.',
  });

  console.log(`Created agent: ${agent.id}`);

  // Run the agent with a simple task
  const result = await lindy.agents.run(agent.id, {
    input: 'Say hello to the world!',
  });

  console.log(`Agent response: ${result.output}`);
}

main().catch(console.error);

Output

• Working code file with Lindy client initialization
• Created AI agent in your Lindy workspace
• Console output showing:

Created agent: agt_abc123
Agent response: Hello, World! I'm your new Lindy AI assistant.
