Research assistant with DuckDuckGo search integration.

​
Code

import os
from bindu.penguin.bindufy import bindufy
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGoTools
from agno.models.openrouter import OpenRouter
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

agent = Agent(
    instructions="You are a research assistant that finds and summarizes information.",
    model=OpenRouter(
        id="openai/gpt-5-mini",
        api_key=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY")
    ),
    tools=[DuckDuckGoTools()],
)

config = {
    "author": "[email protected]",
    "name": "research_agent",
    "description": "A research assistant agent",
    "deployment": {
        "url": "http://localhost:3773",
        "expose": True,
        "cors_origins": ["http://localhost:5173"]
    },
    "skills": ["skills/question-answering", "skills/pdf-processing"]
}

def handler(messages: list[dict[str, str]]):
    result = agent.run(input=messages)
    return result

if __name__ == "__main__":
    os.environ["AUTH_ENABLED"] = "false"
    bindufy(config, handler)
    #bindufy(config, handler, launch=True)
    # This will create a tunnel to your agent and expose it on port 3773

​
How It Works

Research Capability
  • Agent searches web via DuckDuckGo
  • Finds relevant information
  • Summarizes findings clearly
Instructions
  • Simple, focused directive
  • “Find and summarize information”
  • Guides agent behavior
Auth Disabled
  • AUTH_ENABLED = "false" for local dev
  • Frontend connects without OAuth
  • Production should enable auth

​
Run

uv run examples/beginner/agno_simple_example.py
Try: “Research the latest developments in quantum computing” Go to frontend and run npm run dev Open http://localhost:5173 and try to chat with echo agent
