Building agentic applications just got a whole lot easier.

We’re excited to release the AG-UI protocol CLI flow- the quickest and easiest way to get started with AG-UI in under two minutes.

Why this matters

Most developers want to test ideas fast without spending hours wiring up configs and boilerplate. The CLI flow solves that by giving you a zero-friction way to:

  • Spin up a new project from scratch
  • Plug into all major frameworks out of the box
  • Or run with our standalone terminal client if you prefer a lightweight setup and are curious about creating your own client integration.

In other words, you can go from nothing to a running agentic application without touching a line of setup code.

How it works

  1. Install the CLI → one command to set everything up npx create-ag-ui-app@latest.
  2. Choose your framework → React, Next.js, Vite, or go terminal-only.
  3. Start coding → you’re instantly connected to the AG-UI protocol, ready to build interactive, agent-powered experiences.

The CLI flow generates the right project structure, wires in AG-UI events, and leaves you with clean, production-ready scaffolding you can actually build on.

Why developers love it

  • Speed → Get to “Hello Agent” in under 2 minutes.
  • Flexibility → Works across agentic frameworks and terminal environments.
  • Extensibility → everything you scaffold is ready for customization.

Try it today

If you’ve been curious about AG-UI but didn’t want to agonize over setup, I invite you to check it out. The CLI flow is the fastest way to experience the AG-UI protocol and start building agentic apps from scratch.

AG-UI and A2UI Explained: How the Emerging Agentic Stack Fits TogetherThe agentic ecosystem is evolving fast — and with new standards appearing almost weekly, it’s easy to get lost in the terminology. Two names that often get mixed up are AG-UI and A2UI. They sound similar, but they actually serve very different purposes. Even better: they complement each other beautifully.CopilotKit has been working closely with Google on A2UI, and we’ll be shipping full support when the A2UI spec launches. But before that happens, let’s break down how these pieces fit into the broader agentic landscape.

Build a Frontend for your Microsoft Agent Framework Agents with AG-UIIn this guide, you will learn how to build a frontend for your Microsoft Agent Framework Agents using AG-UI Protocol and CopilotKit. Microsoft Agent Framework will power the AI agents backend, while CopilotKit powers the frontend, and then AG-UI creates a bridge that enables the frontend to communicate with the backend.
Microsoft Agent Framework is now AG-UI Compatible!
Uli Barkai and Nathan TarbertNovember 11, 2025
Microsoft Agent Framework is now AG-UI Compatible!We’re excited to announce that Microsoft’s Agent Framework is now fully compatible with the AG-UI protocol - the open standard powering frontend-agent communication across the ecosystem. This integration means you can now connect Microsoft’s powerful reasoning and orchestration layer directly to rich, real-time user interfaces - without custom socket code, polling loops, or one-off APIs.
Are you ready?
