# Parity Notes
Baseline: `showcase/integrations/langgraph-python/`.
This document lists demos present in the langgraph-python reference that
are **not** ported to the PydanticAI showcase, with the reason for each
skip. See `manifest.yaml` for the full list of demos that **are** shipped
in this package.
## Recently ported demos
- `gen-ui-tool-based` — Tool-based generative UI with frontend-registered
`render_bar_chart` and `render_pie_chart` components. The PydanticAI
agent uses a chart-viz system prompt and relies on the runtime to
surface frontend-registered tool definitions on each run; no backend
tool implementations are required because the components handle
rendering directly on the client.
## New demos (post-PR #4271)
The following demos introduced on main via PR #4271 are now ported:
- `byoc-json-render``@json-render/react` BYOC pattern with
JSONUIProvider wrapping `<Renderer />` and MetricCard children
forwarding (both post-#4271 fixes preserved).
- `byoc-hashbrown``@hashbrownai/react` BYOC pattern. The PydanticAI
agent emits the post-#4271 JSON envelope
`{"ui": [{componentName: {"props": {...}}}]}` verbatim.
- `multimodal` — image / PDF attachments. Images flow to GPT-4o vision
natively via `OpenAIResponsesModel`. PDFs are flattened to inline
text via `pypdf` inside a PydanticAI `history_processors` hook
(equivalent to langgraph-python's `_PdfFlattenMiddleware`). The
frontend's `onRunInitialized` shim and LFS-pointer guard are kept
intact.
- `voice` — audio transcription. Route reuses the main sales agent at
the PydanticAI root as a neutral backing agent; the
`GuardedOpenAITranscriptionService` + direct-instance wiring pattern
is lifted verbatim from the langgraph-python reference.
- `agent-config``forwardedProps` routing. The TS runtime route
subclasses `HttpAgent` to repack provider `properties` into an AG-UI
`context` entry tagged `agent-config-properties`; the Python agent's
dynamic `@agent.system_prompt` reads that entry. Framework-specific
adaptation vs. langgraph-python's `forwardedProps.config.configurable`
path — user-visible behaviour is identical.
- `auth` — bearer token auth. Gate is built on
`createCopilotRuntimeHandler` from `@copilotkit/runtime/v2` with the
`onRequest` hook, framework-agnostic. Post-#4271 fixes preserved
(default authenticated, `ChatErrorBoundary`, inverted button labels).
## Skipped demos
- `mcp-apps` — Requires CopilotKit MCP Apps middleware wired to a remote
MCP server (Excalidraw). The PydanticAI integration exposes tools via
`agent.to_ag_ui()` and does not yet have a documented MCP-apps path
through the Python SDK's A2UI middleware as of this writing. Can be
revisited when `copilotkit-sdk-python` grows first-class MCP client
support across AG-UI integrations. The `beautiful-chat` and
`headless-complete` cells are ported with their Excalidraw suggestion
pills intentionally omitted (the rest of each cell is at parity).
- `agentic-chat-reasoning`, `reasoning-default-render`,
`tool-rendering-reasoning-chain` — These three demos depend on
`deepagents.create_deep_agent` to emit reasoning/thinking tokens
alongside regular tool calls. PydanticAI has its own reasoning model
support (`OpenAIResponsesModel` with reasoning enabled) but does not
currently stream reasoning content as AG-UI `THINKING_*` events
through `agent.to_ag_ui()`. Skipped until that bridge exists; a faked
version would not reflect the real integration.
- `gen-ui-interrupt`, `interrupt-headless`, `hitl-in-chat`,
`hitl-in-chat-booking` — All four demos are built on LangGraph's
`interrupt()` primitive (pauses graph execution mid-tool-call and
surfaces the payload to the client via `useInterrupt`). PydanticAI
does not have an equivalent interrupt/resume primitive — its tools
run to completion. Skipped as framework-specific. (The HITL
experience in this package is delivered via the `hitl` and
`hitl-in-app` cells, which use a frontend-tool-driven approval
pattern that does not require backend interrupts.)
## Parked for future parity
These demos are intentionally not in scope for the PydanticAI package
today — none remain now that the post-#4271 demos listed above have
landed.
## Partial parity — ported with documented gaps
The following demos are in the package but do not ship 100% of the
langgraph-python behaviour:
- `headless-complete` — ported without the Excalidraw-via-MCP
suggestion (see `mcp-apps` skip above). The reasoning-message branch
of `use-rendered-messages.tsx` is omitted because `@ag-ui/core@0.0.43`
(the version pinned in this package) does not export
`ReasoningMessage` and PydanticAI's AG-UI adapter does not emit
reasoning content today. All other rendering surfaces (per-tool
renderers, frontend components, default catch-all) are at parity.
- `beautiful-chat` — ported without the Excalidraw-via-MCP suggestion.
Shared todo state uses PydanticAI's `StateSnapshotEvent` (emitted on
`manage_todos` completion) instead of langgraph-python's
`StateStreamingMiddleware` per-token deltas — the shared todo list
still syncs, just without per-character streaming animation. All
other surfaces (A2UI fixed + dynamic, Open Generative UI, HITL,
frontend tools) are at parity.
