2. Introduction What and Why?
3. AG-UI is an open, lightweight, event-based protocol, created by the CopilotKit, that standardizes how agent backends connect to agent frontends Agent-User Interaction (AG-UI) Protocol docs.ag-ui.com
4. • CopilotKit is the reference client implementation • Most major agent frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, and more are supported
5. • Event-Driven Communication: Agents emit 16 standardized event types during execution • Bidirectional Interaction: Agents accept input from users, enabling collaborative workflows with humans • Transport Agnostic: AG-UI doesn’t mandate how events are delivered, supporting various transport mechanisms including Server-Sent Events (SSE), webhooks, WebSockets, and more Main Benefits
6. AG-UI vs. MCP, A2A, A2UI
7. MCP gives agents tools A2A allows agents-to-agent communication AG-UI brings agents into user-facing applications AG-UI vs. MCP, A2A
8. AG-UI connects frontends to agentic backends A2UI is a declarative generative UI spec, which agents can use to return UI widgets as part of their responses AG-UI vs. A2UI
9. AG-UI + ADK
