Lindy Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example demonstrating core Lindy AI agent functionality.

Prerequisites

• Completed lindy-install-auth setup
• Valid API credentials configured
• Development environment ready

Instructions

Step 1: Create Entry File

Create a new file for your hello world example.

Step 2: Import and Initialize Client

import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';

const lindy = new Lindy({
  apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY,
});

Step 3: Create Your First Agent

async function main() {
  // Create a simple AI agent
  const agent = await lindy.agents.create({
    name: 'Hello World Agent',
    description: 'My first Lindy agent',
    instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant that greets users.',
  });

  console.log(`Created agent: ${agent.id}`);

  // Run the agent with a simple task
  const result = await lindy.agents.run(agent.id, {
    input: 'Say hello to the world!',
  });

  console.log(`Agent response: ${result.output}`);
}

main().catch(console.error);

Output

• Working code file with Lindy client initialization
• Created AI agent in your Lindy workspace
• Console output showing:

Created agent: agt_abc123
Agent response: Hello, World! I'm your new Lindy AI assistant.

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
Import Error	SDK not installed	Verify with npm list @lindy-ai/sdk
Auth Error	Invalid credentials	Check environment variable is set
Timeout	Network issues	Increase timeout or check connectivity
Rate Limit	Too many requests	Wait and retry with exponential backoff

Examples

TypeScript Example

import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';

const lindy = new Lindy({
  apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY,
});

async function main() {
  const agent = await lindy.agents.create({
    name: 'Greeting Agent',
    instructions: 'Greet users warmly and helpfully.',
  });

  const result = await lindy.agents.run(agent.id, {
    input: 'Hello!',
  });

  console.log(result.output);
}

main().catch(console.error);

Python Example

from lindy import Lindy

client = Lindy()

agent = client.agents.create(
    name="Greeting Agent",
    instructions="Greet users warmly and helpfully."
)

result = client.agents.run(agent.id, input="Hello!")
print(result.output)
