What is VoltAgent?
VoltAgent is an open-source TypeScript AI agent framework built for developers who want to create, observe, and deploy intelligent AI agents without sacrificing control or clarity. Unlike black-box platforms, VoltAgent puts observability first, so you can see exactly how your agents think, act, and interact—making debugging and improvement fast and intuitive.
Whether you're building a simple Slack helper or a complex multi-agent system for enterprise workflows, VoltAgent gives you type-safe APIs, seamless tool integration, and real-time monitoring through its companion platform, VoltOps. It’s designed by engineers, for engineers—combining the flexibility of open source with production-grade features like memory, RAG, guardrails, and workflow orchestration.
What are the features of VoltAgent?
- Observability-First Design: Monitor LLM calls, agent decisions, and tool usage in real time via VoltOps.
- TypeScript Core Framework: Build with full type safety, Zod validation, and clean, modern TypeScript APIs.
- Multi-Agent Orchestration: Use Supervisor Agents and Workflow Chains to coordinate specialized agents intelligently.
- Built-in RAG Support: Connect to vector databases like Pinecone, Supabase, or Postgres with unified embedding and retrieval tools.
- Tool & Integration Ecosystem: Easily connect to 40+ apps (Slack, Gmail, Salesforce, etc.) and define custom tools.
- Prompt Management & Evals: Version prompts, run evaluations, and iterate based on performance data.
- Deployment Ready: Deploy agents to production quickly using self-hosted or cloud options.

How to use VoltAgent?
- Start by running
npm create voltagent-app@latestto scaffold a new project. - Define your agent using the
Agentclass, attach tools, and choose an LLM (like OpenAI or Anthropic). - Set up triggers (e.g., Slack messages, webhooks) using
createTriggersto activate your agent. - Use
VoltAgentto wire together agents, server, logger, and triggers. - Test locally, then monitor and improve using the VoltOps console for observability and evals.
- Deploy your agent to production with confidence—thanks to built-in guardrails and memory persistence.
