For your environment, you need:
DEDALUS_API_KEY– Get it from the dashboardDEDALUS_API_URL– Base URL:https://api.dedaluslabs.aiDEDALUS_AS_URL(optional) – For DAuth/OAuth flows:https://as.dedaluslabs.ai
export DEDALUS_API_KEY="dsk-live-..."export DEDALUS_API_URL="https://api.dedaluslabs.ai"export DEDALUS_AS_URL="https://as.dedaluslabs.ai" # Optional, for DAuthReasoning Agent
Build a multi-step reasoning agent that breaks down complex problems.
import asynciofrom dedalus_labs import AsyncDedalus, DedalusRunnerfrom dedalus_labs.utils.stream import stream_async async def main(): client = AsyncDedalus() runner = DedalusRunner(client) response = await runner.run( input=( "A farmer has 17 sheep. All but 9 run away. " "How many sheep does the farmer have left? " "Think step by step and explain your reasoning." ), model=["openai/gpt-5", "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6"], instructions="You are a precise reasoning agent. Break every problem into clear steps.", stream=True, ) await stream_async(response) if __name__ == "__main__": asyncio.run(main())Agent Loop in Practice
Connect Browser Use to your agent in four steps. DAuth encrypts credentials client-side; the MCP server never sees raw secrets.
