A FastAPI application that integrates Letta AI agents with Slack, providing intelligent conversation capabilities through a single endpoint.

• 🤖 Letta AI Integration: Uses a persistent Letta agent for intelligent conversations
• 💬 Slack Integration: Handles Slack URL verification, message events, and app mentions
• 🔄 Automatic Responses: Posts Letta agent responses back to Slack channels
• 🎯 Smart Filtering: Filters out simple greetings to reduce noise
• 🌐 ngrok Support: Easy deployment with static domain support
• 📝 Comprehensive Logging: Detailed debug information for troubleshooting

• Python 3.8+
• uv package manager
• ngrok account (for Slack integration)
• Letta AI account
• Slack App with bot token

# Clone the repository
git clone <your-repo-url>
cd travis_ai

# Install dependencies using uv
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env file in the project root:

# Letta AI Configuration
LETTA_API_KEY=your_letta_api_key_here

# Slack Configuration  
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-your-slack-bot-token-here

# Optional: ngrok static domain
NGROK_DOMAIN=your-static-domain.ngrok-free.dev

The application uses a pre-configured Letta agent ID: agent-2ed1f26b-6de6-4d1a-8466-b89e12482f71

If you need to create a new agent, you can use the letta/create_agent.py script:

uv run python letta/create_agent.py

1. Create a Slack app at api.slack.com/apps
2. Add the following OAuth scopes:
   • app_mentions:read
   • channels:history
   • chat:write
   • im:history
   • im:read
   • im:write
3. Subscribe to bot events:
   • message.channels
   • app_mention
4. Set the Request URL to your ngrok URL + /conversation

# Run locally without ngrok
uv run python simple_api.py

# Or use the main entry point
uv run python main.py

# Run with ngrok tunneling
uv run python simple_api.py --ngrok

# Or use the main entry point with ngrok
uv run python main.py --ngrok

# Local
uv run python run.py

# With ngrok
uv run python run.py --ngrok

The main endpoint that handles all interactions:

Slack URL Verification:

{
  "type": "url_verification",
  "challenge": "challenge_string"
}

Slack Message Events:

{
  "type": "event_callback",
  "event": {
    "type": "message",
    "user": "U1234567890",
    "text": "Hello, how are you?",
    "channel": "C1234567890"
  }
}

Direct Conversation:

{
  "message": "What is Python programming?"
}

Health check endpoint that returns:

{
  "status": "healthy",
  "message": "Simple Letta Agent API is running",
  "agent_id": "agent-2ed1f26b-6de6-4d1a-8466-b89e12482f71"
}

Run the basic test suite:

uv run python test.py

This will test:

• Health check endpoint
• URL verification
• Simple greeting filtering
• Direct conversation with Letta agent

1. URL Verification: Responds to Slack's challenge requests
2. Message Events: Processes regular channel messages
3. App Mentions: Handles @bot mentions specifically

The application filters out simple greetings to reduce noise:

• hi, hey, hiya
• good morning/afternoon/evening
• what's up, how are you
• thanks, ok, yes, no

• Responses are automatically posted back to Slack
• Uses threading to keep conversations organized
• Includes comprehensive logging for debugging

1. ModuleNotFoundError: Ensure all dependencies are installed with uv pip install -r requirements.txt

2. LETTA_API_KEY not set: Check your .env file and ensure the API key is correct

3. Slack events not received:

   • Verify ngrok is running and accessible
   • Check Slack app configuration
   • Ensure Request URL points to /conversation

4. Agent not responding:

   • Verify the agent ID is correct
   • Check Letta API key permissions
   • Review logs for error messages

The application provides extensive debug logging:

• 🔍 DEBUG: - Detailed request/response information
• ✅ - Successful operations
• ❌ - Errors and failures
• 📨 - Slack message processing
• 🤖 - Letta agent responses

• simple_api.py: Main FastAPI application with single endpoint
• letta/create_agent.py: Letta agent management and API interactions
• slack/auth_middleware.py: Slack authentication and middleware
• main.py: Application entry point with argument parsing
• run.py: Simplified startup script

1. LettaAgentManager: Handles all Letta API interactions
2. Message Filtering: Smart filtering to reduce noise
3. Slack Integration: URL verification and event handling
4. Response Posting: Automatic Slack message posting
5. Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling and logging

uv run python simple_api.py --ngrok

• Use a proper WSGI server like Gunicorn
• Set up proper environment variable management
• Configure SSL/TLS for HTTPS
• Use a proper domain instead of ngrok for production
