Build an agent with BeeAI Framework

Prerequisites

This lab is a Jupyter notebook. Please follow the instructions in prework for the prerequisites to run the lab.

Lab

Launch Jupyter Lab by running the following commands from the opentech directory of your beeai-workshop cloned repo.

  1. Create beekernel which will have the dependencies preinstalled in your virtual environment.

    uv run --directory beeaiframework ipython kernel install --user --env VIRTUAL_ENV .venv --name=beekernel

  2. Use uv to run Jupyter Lab. The directory and allow_hidden gives us access to .venv modules.

    uv run --directory beeaiframework jupyter lab --ContentsManager.allow_hidden=True

  3. In Jupyter Lab in your browser, walk through the notebook:

    1. Jupyter Lab will open in your browser
    2. Navigate to the notebooks folder
    3. Open beeai.ipynb
    4. Use the play button to walk through the notebook
    5. Be sure to read the text, the code, and the output
    6. Close your browser tab when done

  4. Exit the Jupyter Lab server by typing CTRL-C, CTRL-C (twice) in the terminal window where you started Jupyter Lab.
