Dexto Examples

This directory contains example code and configurations demonstrating how to use Dexto in various contexts.

Code Examples

Basic Agent Usage (basic-agent-example.ts)

The simplest example of how to use the Dexto Agent SDK. Shows:

  • Creating an agent with minimal configuration
  • Starting and stopping the agent
  • Creating a session
  • Using generate() for request/response interactions
  • Token usage tracking

Run it with:

npx tsx basic-agent-example.ts

LangChain Integration (dexto-langchain-integration/)

Shows how to integrate Dexto with LangChain, useful if you're already using LangChain in your project.

Agent Manager (agent-manager-example/)

Demonstrates using the AgentManager API for managing multiple agents programmatically.

Agent Delegation (agent-delegation/)

Shows a pattern for implementing a multi-agent coordinator/specialist architecture where one agent delegates tasks to specialized agents.

Demo Server (resources-demo-server/)

A simple HTTP server example demonstrating Dexto's resource authorization flow.

Agent Configuration Examples

See the /agents/ directory for YAML configuration examples for different use cases.

How to Use These Examples

  1. Copy an example to your project or workspace
  2. Customize the configuration for your needs
  3. Install dependencies if it has a package.json
  4. Follow the README for setup and running instructions

Each example is self-contained and can be run independently.

Platform Integration Examples

These examples show how to integrate DextoAgent with different messaging platforms. They are reference implementations that you can customize and extend for your own use cases.

Discord Bot (discord-bot/)

A complete Discord bot integration using discord.js and the Discord Gateway API.

Features:

  • Responds to messages in DMs and server channels
  • Support for the !ask command prefix in channels
  • Image attachment processing
  • Rate limiting per user
  • Persistent per-user conversation sessions
  • Tool call notifications

Quick Start:

cd discord-bot
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env
# Add your DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN to .env
pnpm start

See: discord-bot/README.md for detailed setup and usage instructions.

Telegram Bot (telegram-bot/)

A complete Telegram bot integration using grammy and the Telegram Bot API.

Features:

  • Responds to messages in DMs and group chats
  • Support for /ask command and /start menu
  • Image attachment processing
  • Inline query support (use bot username in any chat)
  • Session reset button
  • Concurrency control for inline queries
  • Persistent per-user conversation sessions
  • Tool call notifications

Quick Start:

cd telegram-bot
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env
# Add your TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN to .env
pnpm start

See: telegram-bot/README.md for detailed setup and usage instructions.

Building Your Own Integration

To build your own platform integration:

  1. Start with a reference implementation - Use discord-bot or telegram-bot as a template
  2. Adapt the bot.ts - Replace platform-specific code with your target platform's SDK
  3. Keep the pattern - Receive a pre-initialized DextoAgent and implement platform-specific I/O
  4. Reuse the config - Use the same agent-config.yml pattern for configuration
  5. Add main.ts - Create a standalone runner that initializes the agent and starts your bot

The key pattern is:

export function startMyBot(agent: DextoAgent) {
    // Platform-specific setup
    // Use agent.run() to process user input
    // Use agent.on() to listen for events
    // Return your platform's client/connection object
}
