Original video: Give Your AI Agent 1500+ Integrations in 3 Minutes (Composio Tutorial) · Channel: Composio · 02:34 · Watch on YouTube

Topics: AI agents, Task and workflow automation, Cybersecurity and software security

Summary

The video demonstrates how Composio can give an AI agent access to more than 1,500 apps, so users do not have to copy information from tools like Gmail and Slack. The presenter adds Composio to a chat agent by giving a coding agent a setup prompt, answering questions about desired capabilities, and adding an API key. Once connected, Composio manages external app connections and OAuth, while the app retains control of its conversation and user experience. The tutorial concludes by showing a secure Gmail connection and encouraging viewers to try the setup.

Key points

Composio is presented as an action layer for agents, handling access to external tools and apps.
The tutorial starts with an agent that can only use the conversation context and cannot access a user’s Gmail or Slack.
A setup prompt from Composio’s documentation is pasted into a coding agent with access to the agent’s source code.
The coding agent installs the Composio skill and identifies likely integration points.
The presenter selects email and calendar as initial integrations and specifies search, read, and calendar-management capabilities.
An API key from the Composio dashboard is added to the project to connect the platform.
Composio handles tool access and external app connections, while the app retains its conversation and user experience.
Users connect Gmail through a link and securely authorize access to the items they select.

Full transcript (original language)

00:00 Composio is the action layer for your agents. For teams that are building agents for real-world problems, you want to focus on the value your agent brings, not on wiring them up to all the tools, OAuth, MCPs, and other APIs that your users need. In this video, we’re going to show you how to add Composio to your agent, instantly giving it access to your users over 1,500 apps. With just-in-time tool calls, secure delegated OAuth, sandboxed environments, and parallel execution, Composio gives your agents the power to do more. Okay, so let’s say this is my chat app. Uh and

00:31 this is the agent that I’m building for my customers. And they want to ask it questions like, “Help me get ready for my day.” So, they might ask something like, “Read my Gmail and my Slack and let me know what’s important for me to take care of today.” Of course, it doesn’t have access to my Gmail or Slack in this chat. So, it’s asking me to paste or copy and paste from other tools, but I don’t want to do that. So, I want to make this agent useful to my customers or my employees, the end users of it, which means giving it access to their context and the ability to take actions for them. Right now, it can only see the conversation,

01:01 but let’s add Composio and see what that does. I’m going to grab the setup prompt from Composio’s docs. Then I’m just going to paste that into my coding agent that it has access to the source code for my agent. So, you can see the agent plans to inspect the code, find out if we have the official Composio skill and install it if we don’t, and then go ahead and figure out what the likely integration points are for our agent. We can see it’s installing the Composio skill that it’s going to help it to integrate Composio into our agent. Now, it’s going to ask me a few questions about what I want to build first. Let’s say that I want to do email and calendar

01:32 first. It’s got a couple other questions about the initial capabilities, uh and I want it to be able to search and read only, but also I want it to manage my calendar, let’s say, and we’ll go ahead and confirm. All right, it looks like it’s done and it’s implemented the Composio platform into our tooling. Now, we just need to give it our Composio API key. That I got from my Composio dashboard, and I’ll go ahead and add it to my project. Now that Composio’s connected, it will handle all the tool access and connections to external apps. Your app still owns the conversation and user experience, and you can even white label the

02:02 integration, so it’s completely transparent to your users. You can see here that Composeio goes ahead and gives me a connect Gmail link. When I click on that, I’m able to securely OAuth to Gmail, and then my agent can access all the things that I select for it. So, we started with a chat app that could only use the conversation context it had, but now we can work with the user’s connected apps. You keep building the agent behavior that you want to build and the experience that your users need without taking on all the implementation and maintenance costs of connecting to their tools. Give it a try

02:34 today. Go to docs.composeio.dev and copy the setup prompt. Give it to your coding agent and connect your users to the apps they need.
