Description
AG-UI, or Agent User Interaction Protocol, is an open, lightweight, event-based protocol designed to standardize how AI agents connect to user-facing applications. It facilitates a bi-directional connection between user applications and AI agents, enabling seamless integration and communication. AG-UI aims to simplify and enhance the interaction between users and AI systems, making it a crucial component in the development of intelligent applications.
To enable Java-based agents to be managed and interacted with through AG UI, we need to ensure the Java runtime:
- Exposes a standardized HTTP/gRPC API that matches the AG UI backend contract
- Produces structured messages in the expected schema
- Supports streaming output (e.g., SSE) for real-time interaction
- Handles session state, file uploads, and tool approvals consistently
