AG-UI is an open, lightweight protocol for connecting AI agents to user-facing applications through a standardized event-based interface. It is designed to make agent behavior visible, interactive, and controllable inside real-time front-end experiences. Instead of treating an AI agent as a black-box chat endpoint, AG-UI defines structured events for messages, tool calls, state changes, lifecycle updates, and user interactions. This makes it easier for developers to build agent-powered apps that stream progress, request human input, update UI state, and coordinate complex workflows. The project is especially useful for teams building copilots, workflow assistants, multi-agent products, or custom AI interfaces. Overall, AG-UI provides a shared communication layer between autonomous systems and the interfaces where people actually use them.
