## Why Langbase?
Langbase is the best way to build and deploy AI agents.
Our mission: AI for all. Not just ML wizards. Every. Single. Developer.
**Build AI agents without any bloated frameworks**. You write the logic, we handle the logistics.
Compared to complex AI frameworks, Langbase is serverless and [the first composable AI platform][composable].
1. Start by building simple [AI agents (pipes)](/pipe)
2. Then train serverless semantic [Memory agents (RAG)](/memory) to get accurate and trusted results

# Tools
Tools, an AI Primitive by Langbase, allows you to extend the capabilities of your AI applications. They enable you to integrate functionality such as web search, crawling, and other specialized tasks into your AI workflows.
By using tools, you can enhance the performance and versatility of your AI agents, making them more capable of handling complex tasks and providing valuable insights.

## Quickstart: Using Langbase Tools
---
## Let's get started
In this guide, we'll use the Langbase SDK to interact with the Tools API, specifically focusing on web crawling and web search capabilities:
---
## Step #1: Generate Langbase API key
Every request you send to Langbase needs an [API key](/api-reference/api-keys). This guide assumes you already have one. If not, please check the instructions below.
<Spoiler title="Get your Langbase API key: User or Org">
You can generate API keys from the [Langbase Studio](https://studio.langbase.com) by following these steps:
1. Switch to your user or org account.
2. From the sidebar, click on the `API keys`.
3. From here you can create a new API key or manage existing ones.
</Spoiler>
<Note sub="External API Keys">
	Some tools require external API keys. For this guide, you'll need:
	- [Spider.cloud](https://spider.cloud) API key for web crawling
	- [Exa](https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys) API key for web search
</Note>

## Step #2: Setup your project [lang]
Create a new directory for your project and navigate to it.
