eko

Eko (pronounced like 'echo') is a production-ready JavaScript framework that enables developers to create reliable agents, from simple commands to complex workflows. It provides a unified interface for running agents in both computer and browser environments.

News

• 2025-11: Eko 4.0 supports chat conversations & optimizes agent logic.
• 2025-09: Eko 3.0 introduces dependency-aware parallel agent execution.
• 2025-09: New pause, resume, and interrupt controls with task_snapshot workflow recovery.
• 2025-09: Monorepo tooling migrated to pnpm for consistent workspace management.

Upgrading to Eko 4.0

Follow these steps when moving an existing Eko 3.x project to 4.0:

1. Update dependencies with pnpm up @eko-ai/eko @eko-ai/eko-nodejs @eko-ai/eko-web @eko-ai/eko-extension.
2. Regenerate saved workflows or exported plans so they use the v3 schema and dependency graph format.
3. Clean and reinstall using pnpm (rm -rf node_modules && pnpm install), then rebuild any browser or desktop bundles.
4. Re-run automated demos and update documentation to reflect the new pause/interrupt APIs and parallel agent behavior.

Quickstart

Note: Please refer to the Eko Quickstart guide guide for full instructions on how to run it.

Security Warning

DO NOT use API Keys in browser/frontend code!

This will expose your credentials and may lead to unauthorized usage.

Best Practices: Configure backend API proxy request through baseURL and request headers.

Example Projects

The repository ships with three workspace examples under the example/ folder.

Prerequisites

Before running any example, install dependencies and build the core packages from the root directory:

pnpm install
pnpm build

Browser Extension (example/extension)

cd example/extension
pnpm install
pnpm run build

Load the generated dist directory via chrome://extensions → Developer Mode → Load unpacked. Configure your API key in the extension options before running the automation task.

Node.js Automation (example/nodejs)

cd example/nodejs
pnpm install
pnpm playwright install   # first time only, installs browsers
pnpm run build
OPENAI_API_KEY=... ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... pnpm run start

The Node.js demo drives Playwright through Eko; provide at least one model API key before running it.

Web Login Demo (example/web)

cd example/web
pnpm install
pnpm run start

This starts a React dev server on the default port with a simple login flow that you can automate with the browser or web agents.
