Run `uv tool install astrbot --python 3.12` 2. Initialize once with astrbot init, then start it with astrbot run 3. Open the WebUI and add your LLM provider 4. Connect a messaging platform such as Telegram or Slack with its bot credentials 5. Send the bot a message to test, and update later with `uv tool upgrade astrbot --python 3.12` ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Install AstrBotDevs/AstrBot with uv, connect it to and a bot, set a persona for , and verify it replies in a test chat. ``` ### Caveat Risk, credentials: Bot tokens and LLM API keys are stored in Astr Bot; protect the WebUI and the server it runs on.

Install and run Astr Bot 2. Upload your docs to the Knowledge Base in the WebUI 3. Connect the team's messaging platform 4. Set a persona that tells the bot to answer only from the knowledge base 5. Turn on auto context compression for long conversations ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Set up AstrBotDevs/AstrBot as a knowledge base bot for : load , connect it to , and write a persona that answers only from the docs and says when it does not know. ``` ### Caveat Disclaimer: Third-party repos we don't own or vouch for.

Install and run Astr Bot 2. Browse the plugin marketplace in the WebUI and install what you need 3. Add MCP servers for your internal tools 4. Enable the Agent Sandbox so code and shell calls run isolated 5. Test from the Web ChatUI, which has the sandbox and web search built in ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text In AstrBotDevs/AstrBot, install plugins for , add the MCP server for , enable the agent sandbox, and test a task that runs code from the Web ChatUI. ``` ### Caveat Disclaimer: Third-party repos we don't own or vouch for.
