<h2>TEN Agent</h2>

[TEN Agent](https://agent.theten.ai)

TEN Agent is a multimodal agent powered by [ TEN ](https://theten.ai), demonstrating its capabilities in speech, vision, and reasoning through  RAG from local documentation.

And, if you choose to use OpenAI Realtime API, then the Vision and RAG won't be available.

<h2>How to build TEN Agent locally

### Prerequisites

#### Keys
- Agora [ App ID ](https://docs.agora.io/en/video-calling/get-started/manage-agora-account?platform=web#create-an-agora-project) and [ App Certificate ](https://docs.agora.io/en/video-calling/get-started/manage-agora-account?platform=web#create-an-agora-project)(certificate only required if enabled in the Agora Console)
- Azure [SST(ASR)](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/speech-to-text) and [TTS](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/text-to-speech) API keys
- [OpenAI](https://openai.com/index/openai-api/) API key

#### Installation
  - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) / [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
  - [Node.js(LTS) v18](https://nodejs.org/en)

#### Minimum system requirements
  - CPU >= 2 Core
  - RAM >= 4 GB

#### Docker setting on Apple Silicon
You will need to uncheck "Use Rosetta for x86_64/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon" option for Docker if you are on Apple Silicon, otherwise the server is not going to work.

![Docker Setting](https://github.com/TEN-framework/docs/blob/main/assets/gif/docker_setting.gif?raw=true)

### Next step

#### 1. Modify config files
In the root of the project, use `cp` command to create `.env` from the [ .env.example ](https://github.com/TEN-framework/ten-agent/blob/main/.env.example).

It will be used to store information for `docker compose` later.
```bash
cp ./.env.example ./.env
```

#### 2. Setup API keys
Open the `.env` file and fill in the `keys` and `regions`. 
```bash
# Agora App ID 
# Agora App Certificate(only required if enabled in the Agora Console)
AGORA_APP_ID=
AGORA_APP_CERTIFICATE=

# Azure STT key and region
AZURE_STT_KEY=
AZURE_STT_REGION=

# Azure TTS key and region
AZURE_TTS_KEY=
AZURE_TTS_REGION=

# OpenAI API key
OPENAI_API_KEY=
```

#### 3. Start agent development containers
In the same directory, run the `docker compose up` command to compose containers:
```bash
docker compose up
```

Or using the `docker compose up -d` command, start the container in detached mode.([more here](https://doc.theten.ai/ten-agent/setting_up_vscode_for_development_inside_container))
```bash
docker compose up -d
```

#### 4. Enter container and build agent
Open up a separate terminal window, enter the container and build the agent:
```bash
docker exec -it ten_agent_dev bash

make build
```

#### 5. Start the server
Once the build is done, `make run-server` on port `8080`:
```bash
make run-server
```

### Finish and verify

#### TEN Agent
Open up [localhost:3000]( http://localhost:3000 ) in browser to play the TEN Agent.

#### TEN Graph Designer

Open up another tab go to [localhost:3001]( http://localhost:3001 ), and use Graph Designer to create, connect and edit extensions on canvas.

Once you save the graph, you can return to [localhost:3000]( http://localhost:3000 ) and select the corresponding graph to view the changes.
