Running Demos

The greentic-demo repository ships a catalog of ready-to-run demos. Each one is a complete bundle (messaging providers, flows, adaptive cards, MCP tools) packaged as a .gtpack and orchestrated by two published answer documents — one for the create wizard, one for setup.

You do not need to scaffold anything by hand. Every demo is launched with the same three commands.

The Three-Step Flow

Create the bundle with the published create-answers document:
Terminal window
```
gtc wizard --answers https://github.com/greenticai/greentic-demo/releases/latest/download/<demo>-create-answers.json
```
This downloads any pack referenced in the answers document, resolves capability dependencies (e.g. state-memory is auto-pulled when a messaging provider declares it needs greentic:state/state-store), and writes a local bundle directory.
Configure providers with the published setup-answers document:
Terminal window
```
gtc setup ./<demo>-bundle --answers https://github.com/greenticai/greentic-demo/releases/latest/download/<demo>-setup-answers.json
```
Setup detects the actual tenant from the bundle’s tenants/ directory, persists secrets per provider, and warns you if any required capability is still unsatisfied.
Start the runtime:
Terminal window
```
gtc start ./<demo>-bundle
```
At startup, gtc start validates pack dependencies again, registers webhooks via each provider’s setup_webhook WASM op (re-registering automatically if your tunnel URL changes), and prints the public ingress paths (e.g. https://<tunnel>/v1/web/webchat/demo/).

Prerequisites

Before running any demo, make sure you have:

gtc CLI — see Installation
A public URL for webhook providers — ngrok or cloudflared (see Public URL Configuration)
Provider credentials for any third-party messaging or MCP integration the demo uses (Slack tokens, Telegram bot token, Atlassian OAuth, etc.) — the setup-answers document tells you which secrets are required

Most demos can run with just WebChat GUI plus state-memory, which need no external accounts.

Demo Catalog

Each release of greentic-demo publishes a .gtpack, a *-create-answers.json, and a *-setup-answers.json to the latest release. Substitute the demo ID into the three commands shown above.

What Happens Behind the Scenes

The three commands look simple, but each one runs a non-trivial slice of the platform.

`gtc wizard --answers ...`

Resolves the demo’s app pack (*.gtpack) — either downloaded from GitHub Releases or pulled from OCI as declared in the answers document.
Materialises the bundle workspace (bundle.yaml, packs/, tenants/).
Runs capability-based dependency resolution. Provider packs declare required_capabilities; the wizard automatically adds matching state-memory, state-redis, OAuth packs, etc., so you never have to remember what each provider depends on.
Honours capability flags such as greentic.cap.bundle_assets.read.v1, greentic.cap.webchat.oauth.v1, greentic.cap.webchat.i18n.v1, and greentic.cap.webchat.embed.v1 — these decide whether the wizard scaffolds bundle-level assets, OAuth provider configuration, locale files, and embed snippets.

`gtc setup ./<demo>-bundle --answers ...`

Auto-detects the actual tenant from bundle/tenants/ (so secrets are written under the correct tenant URI).
Validates dependency capabilities across all packs in the bundle and warns if anything is missing.
Persists every value from the answers document into the secrets store under secrets://{env}/{tenant}/{team}/{provider}/{key}, so providers can read credentials at runtime without you re-typing them.

`gtc start ./<demo>-bundle`

Loads the bundle, mounts every pack, and brings up HTTP ingress adapters.
Re-checks pack dependencies via the capability index and prints satisfied/missing capabilities.
Invokes each provider’s setup_webhook WASM op when the public tunnel URL changes — webhook re-registration is now automatic.
Prints public route paths (for example the WebChat URL) so you can open them in a browser immediately.

Common Operations

Use a different tunnel

Most webhook-bound demos work with any tunnel. Pick one:

gtc start ./<demo>-bundle --ngrok on

gtc start ./<demo>-bundle --cloudflared on

gtc start ./<demo>-bundle --ngrok off --cloudflared off

Use this when you only need WebChat on localhost.

Re-run setup after rotating a secret

gtc setup ./<demo>-bundle --answers <updated-setup-answers.json>

gtc setup is idempotent. It overwrites secrets in place and re-runs the per-provider setup flows.

Inspect bundles before launching

gtc wizard --answers <create-answers.json> --dry-run
gtc setup ./<demo>-bundle --dry-run

Both commands support --dry-run for previewing output without touching the filesystem or secrets store.

Stop a running demo

gtc stop ./<demo>-bundle

This shuts down the runner and any auxiliary processes (tunnels) that gtc start brought up.

Troubleshooting

Wizard says a capability is unsatisfied

Update the create-answers document to include a pack that provides the missing capability. For greentic:state/state-store either state-memory (no setup) or state-redis (requires a Redis instance) works. Most demos already declare this dependency, so the wizard will pull it in automatically.

WebChat opens but cards are blank

Make sure the bundle’s tenant matches the tenant in the WebChat URL — gtc setup now auto-detects the bundle tenant, so if you ran setup before this fix landed, re-run it after a gtc wizard to refresh the bundle layout.

`setup_webhook` keeps failing on startup

Check that the secret your provider needs is present in the answers file (e.g. bot_token, slack_configuration_token, ms_bot_app_password). Re-run gtc setup with the updated document and restart gtc start.

Ingress URL keeps changing

By default ngrok issues a fresh URL on every restart. The webhook updater detects the change at startup and calls each provider’s setup_webhook op so the new URL is registered upstream — but you may want to upgrade to a reserved domain on long-running demos.
