+# Gaia agent example
+
+This example uses a [Gaia](https://docs.gaianet.ai) API for AI based responses and [XMTP](https://xmtp.org) for secure messaging. You can test your agent on [xmtp.chat](https://xmtp.chat) or any other XMTP-compatible client.
+
+Using Gaia, you can also run your own [node](https://docs.gaianet.ai/getting-started/quick-start) and use the OpenAI compatible API in this library.
+
+## Environment variables
+
+Add the following keys to a `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+WALLET_KEY= # the private key of the wallet
+ENCRYPTION_KEY= # a second random 32 bytes encryption key for local db encryption
+GAIA_API_KEY= # Your API key from https://gaianet.ai
+GAIA_NODE_URL= # Your custom Gaia node URL or a public node, ex: https://llama8b.gaia.domains/v1
+GAIA_MODEL_NAME= # Model name running in your Gaia node or a public node, ex: llama
+```
+
+You can generate random keys with the following command:
+
+```bash
+yarn gen:keys
+```
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Running the `gen:keys` script will overwrite the existing `.env` file.
+
+## Usage
+
+```tsx
