Eko - Build Production-ready Agentic Workflow with Natural Language
Eko (pronounced like 'echo') is a production-ready JavaScript framework that enables developers to create reliable agents, from simple commands to complex workflows. It provides a unified interface for running agents in both computer and browser environments.
News
- 2025-11: Eko 4.0 supports chat conversations & optimizes agent logic.
- 2025-09: Eko 3.0 introduces dependency-aware parallel agent execution.
- 2025-09: New pause, resume, and interrupt controls with
task_snapshotworkflow recovery. - 2025-09: Monorepo tooling migrated to pnpm for consistent workspace management.
Upgrading to Eko 4.0
Follow these steps when moving an existing Eko 3.x project to 4.0:
- Update dependencies with
pnpm up @eko-ai/eko @eko-ai/eko-nodejs @eko-ai/eko-web @eko-ai/eko-extension. - Regenerate saved workflows or exported plans so they use the v3 schema and dependency graph format.
- Clean and reinstall using pnpm (
rm -rf node_modules && pnpm install), then rebuild any browser or desktop bundles. - Re-run automated demos and update documentation to reflect the new pause/interrupt APIs and parallel agent behavior.

Quickstart
Note: Please refer to the Eko Quickstart guide guide for full instructions on how to run it.
Security Warning
DO NOT use API Keys in browser/frontend code!
This will expose your credentials and may lead to unauthorized usage.
Best Practices: Configure backend API proxy request through baseURL and request headers.

Example Projects
The repository ships with three workspace examples under the example/ folder.
Prerequisites
Before running any example, install dependencies and build the core packages from the root directory:
pnpm install
pnpm build
Browser Extension (example/extension)
cd example/extension
pnpm install
pnpm run build
Load the generated dist directory via chrome://extensions → Developer Mode → Load unpacked.
Configure your API key in the extension options before running the automation task.
Node.js Automation (example/nodejs)
cd example/nodejs
pnpm install
pnpm playwright install # first time only, installs browsers
pnpm run build
OPENAI_API_KEY=... ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... pnpm run start
The Node.js demo drives Playwright through Eko; provide at least one model API key before running it.
Web Login Demo (example/web)
cd example/web
pnpm install
pnpm run start
This starts a React dev server on the default port with a simple login flow that you can automate with the browser or web agents.
