AG-UI is a lightweight, event-based protocol that standardizes how AI agents connect to front-end applications. Built for simplicity and flexibility, it enables seamless integration between your AI agents and user interfaces.
AG-UI is an open, lightweight, event-based protocol for agent-human interaction, designed for simplicity & flexibility:
- During agent executions, agent backends emit events compatible with one of AG-UI's ~16 standard event types
- Agent backends can accept one of a few simple AG-UI compatible inputs as arguments
AG-UI includes a flexible middleware layer that ensures compatibility across diverse environments:
- Works with any event transport (SSE, WebSockets, webhooks, etc.)
- Allows for loose event format matching, enabling broad agent and app interoperability
It also ships with a reference HTTP implementation and default connector to help teams get started fast.
AG-UI was developed based on real-world requirements and practical experience building in-app agent interactions.
AG-UI is complementary to the other 2 top agentic protocols
- MCP gives agents tools
- A2A allows agents to communicate with other agents
- AG-UI brings agents into user-facing applications
- 💬 Real-time agentic chat with streaming
- 🔄 Bi-directional state synchronization
- 🧩 Generative UI and structured messages
- 🧠 Real-time context enrichment
- 🛠️ Frontend tool integration
- 🧑💻 Human-in-the-loop collaboration
