Getting Started with the .do SDK: Your First Steps

For Developers

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, automation and intelligent integration are key to building powerful, scalable applications. Imagine being able to infuse your software with the ability to perform complex, agentic tasks with just a few lines of code. This is exactly what the .do SDK empowers you to do.

The .do SDK (Software Development Kit) is your gateway to unlocking the full potential of .do Agentic Workflows directly within your own applications. Whether you're looking to automate tedious processes, seamlessly integrate AI functionalities, or deliver sophisticated services-as-software, the .do SDK makes it remarkably simple.

What is an Agentic Workflow? And Why Should You Care?

At its core, an agentic workflow is a self-contained, intelligent process designed to achieve a specific goal. Imagine a process that can understand natural language, make decisions, interact with various APIs, and even learn over time. By integrating these workflows, your applications move beyond static functionality and embrace dynamic, intelligent behavior.

The .do SDK provides the crucial bridge between your application and these powerful agentic capabilities. It abstracts away the complexity of communicating with the underlying .do platform, allowing you to focus on building features, not infrastructure.

Unlock the Power: What Can You Do with the .do SDK?

The possibilities are vast when you integrate agentic workflows into your software:

• Automate Complex Tasks: From data processing and report generation to customer support and personalized content delivery, automate multi-step processes that traditionally require significant manual intervention.
• Seamless AI Integration: Easily incorporate advanced AI models for tasks like text summarization, sentiment analysis, image recognition, and more, without deep AI expertise.
• Build Services-as-Software: Transform internal tools or specialized functionalities into reusable, API-driven services that can be consumed by any part of your application or even by other applications.
• Enhance User Experiences: Provide more intelligent and responsive interactions within your applications, leading to increased user satisfaction and engagement.

Your First Steps: Getting Started with the .do SDK

Ready to dive in? Here’s how you can begin integrating the .do SDK into your project.

1. Installation

The @dot-do/sdk is easily installable using your preferred package manager.

npm install @dot-do/sdk
# or
yarn add @dot-do/sdk

2. Basic Usage: Calling an Agentic Workflow

The core of the SDK is the Agent class, which allows you to interact with .do workflows by name.

Let's look at a simple example of how to use the SDK to summarize text:

import { Agent } from "@dot-do/sdk";

const agent = new Agent("your-api-key"); // Replace with your actual API key

async function summarizeText(text: string) {
  const response = await agent.do("summarize", { text });
  console.log(response.data); // This will output the summarized text
}

summarizeText("Your long text here, which you want to be summarized by an agentic workflow...");

In this code snippet:

• We import the Agent class from the SDK.
• We initialize an Agent instance with your unique API key. This key authenticates your requests to the .do platform.
• The agent.do("summarize", { text }) call is where the magic happens. We're telling the agent to execute the workflow named "summarize" and providing it with a text parameter.
• The SDK handles the communication, and the response.data will contain the result from your agentic workflow.

3. Where Can You Use It?

The versatility of the .do SDK means you can leverage it in a variety of environments:

• Backend Applications (Node.js): Integrate agentic workflows into your server-side logic, API endpoints, and microservices.
• Frontend Applications (Browser): Enhance your user interfaces with dynamic, intelligent capabilities directly within the browser (securely handling API keys is crucial here).
