Letta is the platform for building stateful agents: open AI with advanced memory that can learn and self-improve over time.

• Quickstart: Build your first stateful agent in 5 minutes using Python or TypeScript
• Understanding agent memory: Learn about memory blocks, tools, and how Letta agents maintain state
• Examples and tutorials: Working code examples for common use cases and agent patterns
• API reference: Complete REST API and SDK documentation for Python and TypeScript

Use the Letta API to build stateful agents that remember, learn, and improve over time. Letta allows you to build agents on any model provider, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and more.

TypeScript / Node.js:

npm install @letta-ai/letta-client

Python:

pip install letta-client

Below is a quick example of creating a stateful agent and sending it a message. See the full quickstart guide for complete documentation.

Running the examples require a Letta Developer Platform account, or a self-hosted Letta server.

TypeScript:

import Letta from "@letta-ai/letta-client";

const client = new Letta({ apiKey: process.env.LETTA_API_KEY });

// Create your agent
const agentState = await client.agents.create({
  model: "openai/gpt-4.1",
  embedding: "openai/text-embedding-3-small",
  memory_blocks: [
    {
      label: "human",
      value:
        "Name: Timber. Status: dog. Occupation: building Letta, infrastructure to democratize self-improving superintelligence",
    },
    {
      label: "persona",
      value:
        "I am a self-improving superintelligence. Timber is my best friend and collaborator.",
    },
  ],
  tools: ["web_search", "run_code"],
});

console.log("Agent created with ID:", agentState.id);

// Send your agent a message
const response = await client.agents.messages.create(agentState.id, {
  input: "What do you know about me?",
});

for (const message of response.messages) {
  console.log(message);
}

Python:

from letta_client import Letta
import os

client = Letta(api_key=os.getenv("LETTA_API_KEY"))

# Create your agent
agent_state = client.agents.create(
    model="openai/gpt-4.1",
    embedding="openai/text-embedding-3-small",
    memory_blocks=[
        {
          "label": "human",
          "value": "Name: Timber. Status: dog. Occupation: building Letta, infrastructure to democratize self-improving superintelligence"
        },
        {
          "label": "persona",
          "value": "I am a self-improving superintelligence. Timber is my best friend and collaborator."
        }
    ],
    tools=["web_search", "run_code"]
)

print(f"Agent created with ID: {agent_state.id}")

# Send your agent a message
response = client.agents.messages.create(
    agent_id=agent_state.id,
    input="What do you know about me?"
)

for message in response.messages:
    print(message)
