Project Layout

Here's a quick guide to your agent project (opens in a new tab).

The starting codebase is small but very extensible.

• It's built atop the Steamship SDK (opens in a new tab), which you can think of as Flask for AI Agents.
• It deploys to the Steamship Cloud (opens in a new tab), which manages all the AI orchestration & monitoring to power your agent.

Key Files

There are only three critical files required to run and deploy an agent to Steamship:

• steamship.json contains information used during deployment: your agent's name, version, etc.
• requirements.txt contains pip modules your agent depends upon. This is necessary to run in the cloud.
• src/api.py contains:
  • your AgentService, which is a Flask-like API container
  • the Agent within it, with access to Tools, LLMs, Memory, and async task queues

Everything else in the starter project is just a convenience file to help things build & run smoothly.
