# AG-UI Mastra Workshop
![preview](./assets/preview.png)
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.
## Workshop Navigation
### Step-by-Step Progression
```bash
git checkout step-1 # Basic concepts
# Work through step-1, then:
git checkout step-2 # Enhanced state management
# Work through step-2, then:
git checkout step-3 # Full application
```
### Compare Between Steps
```bash
# See what changed between steps
git diff step-1 step-2 --name-only
git diff step-2 step-3 --name-only
```
