# research-assistant
This template implements a version of
[GPT Researcher](https://github.com/assafelovic/gpt-researcher) that you can use
as a starting point for a research agent.
## Environment Setup
The default template relies on ChatOpenAI and DuckDuckGo, so you will need the
following environment variable:
- `OPENAI_API_KEY`
And to use the Tavily LLM-optimized search engine, you will need:
- `TAVILY_API_KEY`
## Usage
To use this package, you should first have the LangChain CLI installed:
```shell
pip install -U langchain-cli
```
To create a new LangChain project and install this as the only package, you can do:
```shell
langchain app new my-app --package research-assistant
```
If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:
```shell
langchain app add research-assistant
```
And add the following code to your `server.py` file:
```python
from research_assistant import chain as research_assistant_chain
add_routes(app, research_assistant_chain, path="/research-assistant")
```
(Optional) Let's now configure LangSmith.
LangSmith will help us trace, monitor and debug LangChain applications.
You can sign up for LangSmith [here](https://smith.langchain.com/).
If you don't have access, you can skip this section
```shell
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT=<your-project> # if not specified, defaults to "default"
```
If you are inside this directory, then you can spin up a LangServe instance directly by:
```shell
langchain serve
```
This will start the FastAPI app with a server is running locally at
[http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
We can see all templates at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs](http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs)
We can access the playground at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/research-assistant/playground](http://127.0.0.1:8000/research-assistant/playground)
We can access the template from code with:
