|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Deploy LangBot with one command
|
|
uvx langbot@latest
|
|
|
|
# Install LangTARS from the plugin market, configure your LLM, and start using!
|
|

|
### 2️⃣ Intelligent Task Planning, Autonomous Execution
|
|
|
|
Powered by an AI planning engine based on the **ReAct agent** loop:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Your Command → Understand Needs → Make a Plan → Execute Step-by-Step → Feedback Results
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The AI assistant thinks like a human and automatically breaks down complex tasks using integrated **MCP tools**!
