Quick Start¶
Get NeuroLink running in under 2 minutes with this quick start guide.
🚀 Prerequisites¶
- Node.js 18+
- npm/pnpm/yarn package manager
- API key for at least one AI provider (we recommend starting with Google AI Studio - it has a free tier)
âš¡ 1-Minute Setup¶
Option 1: CLI Usage (No Installation)¶
# Set up your API key (Google AI Studio has free tier)
export GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY="AIza-your-google-ai-api-key"
# Generate text instantly
npx @juspay/neurolink generate "Hello, AI"
npx @juspay/neurolink gen "Hello, AI" # Shortest form
# Check provider status
npx @juspay/neurolink status
Option 2: SDK Installation¶
import { NeuroLink } from "@juspay/neurolink";
const neurolink = new NeuroLink();
const result = await neurolink.generate({
input: { text: "Write a haiku about programming" },
provider: "google-ai",
});
console.log(result.content);
console.log(`Used: ${result.provider}`);
Write Once, Run Anywhere¶
NeuroLink's power is in its provider-agnostic design. Write your code once, and NeuroLink automatically uses the best available provider. If your primary provider fails, it seamlessly falls back to another, ensuring your application remains robust.
import { NeuroLink } from "@juspay/neurolink";
// No provider specified - NeuroLink handles it!
const neurolink = new NeuroLink();
// This code works with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc. without any changes.
const result = await neurolink.generate({
input: { text: "Explain quantum computing simply." },
});
console.log(result.content);
console.log(`AI Provider Used: ${result.provider}`);
🔑 Get API Keys¶
Google AI Studio (Free Tier Available)¶
- Visit Google AI Studio
- Sign in with your Google account
- Click "Get API Key"
- Create a new API key
- Copy and use:
export GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY="AIza-your-key"

✅ Verify Setup¶
# Check all configured providers
npx @juspay/neurolink status
# Test with built-in tools
npx @juspay/neurolink generate "What time is it?" --debug
# Test without tools (pure text generation)
npx @juspay/neurolink generate "Write a poem" --disable-tools
