Introducing the AG-UI Protocol CLI
By Nathan Tarbert

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.

Bring ChatGPT's Intelligent UI to your app with A2UI 1.0 and CopilotKitYou can now bring ChatGPT’s Intelligent UI to your own app. CopilotKit’s new Generative UI is built on Google’s A2UI 1.0, so your agent can answer with charts, calculators and interactive tools built from your own components and design system. It works with any agent framework, renders in the chat or anywhere on your page, fixes itself when the model slips and takes just two lines of code to set up. Here’s how it works, why A2UI 1.0 makes it possible and how to try it live in the A2UI Playground.

Introducing A2UI 1.0: What’s New in Google’s Framework-Agnostic Generative UI ProtocolGoogle just launched A2UI 1.0, the first stable version of its framework-agnostic open standard for generative UI. It brings function calls in both directions between the UI and the agent, multiple catalogs on one screen and catalogs that carry your design rules. Here’s everything that’s new, how to migrate from v0.9 and how A2UI 1.0 works with any agent framework via AG-UI. CopilotKit is the fastest way to adopt A2UI 1.0, with a ready-made catalog of 70 components in just two lines of code.
