Linkup

What is the Linkup tool?

The Linkup tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to web search via linkup api. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a LINKUP_API_KEY environment variable. Get your API key at linkup.so.

How to use Linkup in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable Linkup

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Linkup" from the search category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your LINKUP_API_KEY in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use Linkup when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for Linkup.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Linkup:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.linkup import LinkupTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Linkup Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[LinkupTools()],
    instructions=["Use the linkup tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a linkup task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set LINKUP_API_KEY
