# AG-UI Mastra Workshop
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
A comprehensive workshop demonstrating **AG-UI** (Agent User Interaction) protocol with **Mastra** integration. This workshop shows how to build sophisticated AI applications with shared state, multiple client interfaces, and rich user interactions.
|
|
|
|
## What is AG-UI?
|
|
|
|
AG-UI is a protocol for communicating between AI Agents and Users, enabling:
|
|
|
|
- **Shared-State**: Real-time synchronization between agents and UI components
|
|
- **Multiple Clients**: Build web apps, CLI tools, mobile apps - all connected to the same agent
|
|
- **Generative UI**: Agents can render dynamic interface components
|
|
- **Tool Integration**: Seamless integration of agent tools with user interfaces
|
|

|
## Workshop Structure
|
|
|
|
This workshop is organized into **3 progressive steps**, each building on the previous to demonstrate different aspects of AG-UI:
|
|
|
|
### 🎯 **Step 1**: Basic AG-UI Integration
|
|
|
|
**Branch**: `git checkout step-1`
|
|
|
|
**Link**: https://github.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit/tree/main/examples/canvas/mastra-pm
|
|
|
|
**Focus**: Core concepts and simple state management
|
|
|
|
- Simple agent state (proverbs array)
|
|
- Basic CopilotKit integration with Mastra
|
|
- Frontend actions and generative UI
|
|
- CLI and Web clients with same agent
|
|
|
|
### 🎯 **Step 2**: Complex State & Agent Behavior
|
|
|
|
**Branch**: `git checkout step-2`
|
|
|
|
**Link**: https://github.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit/tree/main/examples/canvas/mastra-pm
|
|
|
|
**Focus**: Structured data and agent personas
|
|
|
|
- Complex state schemas with Zod validation
|
|
- Product manager agent with specific instructions
|
|
- Working memory with structured data types
|
|
- Enhanced CLI debugging with state snapshots
|
|
|
|
### 🎯 **Step 3**: Production-Ready Application
|
|
|
|
**Branch**: `git checkout step-3`
|
|
|
|
**Link**: https://github.com/CopilotKit/CopilotKit/tree/main/examples/canvas/mastra-pm
|
|
|
|
**Focus**: Full-featured project management interface
|
|
|
|
- Complete kanban board and team management UI
|
|
- Rich React component architecture
|
|
- Professional project management interface
|
|
- Multiple interaction patterns (modals, drag-drop, etc.)
|
|
|
|
## Key Learning Outcomes
|
|
|
|
By completing this workshop, you'll understand:
|
|
|
|
- ✅ **Multi-Client Architecture**: How to build CLI and web interfaces for the same agent
|
|
- ✅ **Shared-State Management**: How state synchronizes between agents and multiple UI clients
|
|
- ✅ **Agent Design**: Creating agents with personas, tools, and memory
|
|
- ✅ **UI Integration**: Building rich interfaces that react to agent state
|
|
- ✅ **Production Patterns**: Scalable architecture for real-world applications
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Node.js 18+
|
|
- OpenAI API key
|
|
- Package manager (pnpm recommended)
|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
|
|
1. **Clone and install dependencies**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone <repository-url>
|
|
cd mastra-pm-canvas
|
|
pnpm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Add your OpenAI API key**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-here" >> .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Choose your starting point**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Start from the beginning
|
|
git checkout step-1
|
|
|
|
# Or jump to a specific step
|
|
git checkout step-2
|
|
git checkout step-3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running the Workshop
|
|
|
|
Each step provides **two different client interfaces** for the same agent:
|
|
|
|
#### 🌐 **Web Interface** (CopilotKit + React)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm dev
|
|
# Opens http://localhost:3000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 💻 **CLI Interface** (Terminal-based)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm cli
|
|
# Interactive chat in your terminal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Key Point**: Both interfaces connect to the **same agent** and share **the same state**. This demonstrates AG-UI's power in enabling multiple client types.
