# Fal

**FalTools** enable an Agent to perform media generation tasks.

## Prerequisites

The following example requires the `fal_client` library and an API key which can be obtained from [Fal](https://fal.ai/).

```shell theme={null}
pip install -U fal_client
```

```shell theme={null}
export FAL_KEY=***
```

## Example

The following agent will use FAL to generate any video requested by the user.

```python cookbook/tools/fal_tools.py theme={null}
from phi.agent import Agent
from phi.model.openai import OpenAIChat
from phi.tools.fal_tools import FalTools

fal_agent = Agent(
    name="Fal Video Generator Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[FalTools("fal-ai/hunyuan-video")],
    description="You are an AI agent that can generate videos using the Fal API.",
    instructions=[
        "When the user asks you to create a video, use the `generate_media` tool to create the video.",
        "Return the URL as raw to the user.",
        "Don't convert video URL to markdown or anything else.",
    ],
    markdown=True,
    debug_mode=True,
    show_tool_calls=True,
)

fal_agent.print_response("Generate video of balloon in the ocean")
```
