+# AG-UI Protocol Support for .NET Agent Framework
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+The .NET Agent Framework needed a standardized way to enable communication between AI agents and user-facing applications with support for streaming, real-time updates, and bidirectional communication. Without AG-UI protocol support, .NET agents could not interoperate with the growing ecosystem of AG-UI-compatible frontends and agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, etc.), limiting the framework's adoption and utility.
+
+The AG-UI (Agent-User Interaction) protocol is an open, lightweight, event-based protocol that addresses key challenges in agentic applications including streaming support for long-running agents, event-driven architecture for nondeterministic behavior, and protocol interoperability that complements MCP (tool/context) and A2A (agent-to-agent) protocols.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+- Need for streaming communication between agents and client applications
+- Requirement for protocol interoperability with other AI frameworks
+- Support for long-running, multi-turn conversation sessions
+- Real-time UI updates for nondeterministic agent behavior
+- Standardized approach to agent-to-UI communication
+- Framework abstraction to protect consumers from protocol changes
+
+## Considered Options
+
+1. **Implement AG-UI event types as public API surface** - Expose AG-UI event models directly to consumers
+2. **Use custom AIContent types for lifecycle events** - Create new content types (RunStartedContent, RunFinishedContent, RunErrorContent)
+3. **Current approach** - Internal event types with framework-native abstractions
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "Current approach with internal event types and framework-native abstractions", because it:
+
+- Protects consumers from protocol changes by keeping AG-UI events internal
+- Maintains framework abstractions through conversion at boundaries
+- Uses existing framework types (AgentRunResponseUpdate, ChatMessage) for public API
+- Focuses on core text streaming functionality
+- Leverages existing properties (ConversationId, ResponseId, ErrorContent) instead of custom types
+- Provides bidirectional client and server support
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+**In Scope:**
+1. **Client-side AG-UI consumption** (`Microsoft.Agents.AI.AGUI` package)
+   - `AGUIAgent` class for connecting to remote AG-UI servers
+   - `AGUIAgentThread` for managing conversation threads
+   - HTTP/SSE streaming support
+   - Event-to-framework type conversion
+
+2. **Server-side AG-UI hosting** (`Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting.AGUI.AspNetCore` package)
+   - `MapAGUIAgent` extension method for ASP.NET Core
+   - Server-Sent Events (SSE) response formatting
+   - Framework-to-event type conversion
+   - Agent factory pattern for per-request instantiation
+
+3. **Text streaming events**
+   - Lifecycle events: `RunStarted`, `RunFinished`, `RunError`
+   - Text message events: `TextMessageStart`, `TextMessageContent`, `TextMessageEnd`
+   - Thread and run ID management via `ConversationId` and `ResponseId`
+
+### Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Event Models as Internal Types** - AG-UI event types are internal with conversion via extension methods; public API uses the existing types in Microsoft.Extensions.AI as those are the abstractions people are familiar with
+
+2. **No Custom Content Types** - Run lifecycle communicated through existing `ChatResponseUpdate` properties (`ConversationId`, `ResponseId`) and standard `ErrorContent` type
+
+3. **Agent Factory Pattern** - `MapAGUIAgent` uses factory function `(messages) => AIAgent` to allow request-specific agent configuration supporting multi-tenancy
+
+4. **Bidirectional Conversion Architecture** - Symmetric conversion logic in shared namespace compiled into both packages for server (`AgentRunResponseUpdate` → AG-UI events) and client (AG-UI events → `AgentRunResponseUpdate`)
+
+5. **Thread Management** - `AGUIAgentThread` stores only `ThreadId` with thread ID communicated via `ConversationId`; applications manage persistence for parity with other implementations and to be compliant with the protocol. Future extensions will support having the server manage the conversation.
+
+6. **Custom JSON Converter** - Uses custom polymorphic deserialization via `BaseEventJsonConverter` instead of built-in System.Text.Json support to handle AG-UI protocol's flexible discriminator positioning
+
+### Consequences
+
+**Positive:**
+- .NET developers can consume AG-UI servers from any framework
+- .NET agents accessible from any AG-UI-compatible client
+- Standardized streaming communication patterns
+- Protected from protocol changes through internal implementation
+- Symmetric conversion logic between client and server
+- Framework-native public API surface
+
+**Negative:**
+- Custom JSON converter required (internal implementation detail)
+- Shared code uses preprocessor directives (`#if ASPNETCORE`)
+- Additional abstraction layer between protocol and public API
+
+**Neutral:**
+- Initial implementation focused on text streaming
+- Applications responsible for thread persistence

+# AG-UI Client
+
+This is a console application that demonstrates how to connect to an AG-UI server and interact with remote agents using the AG-UI protocol.
+
+## Features
+
+- Connects to an AG-UI server endpoint
+- Displays streaming updates with color-coded output:
+  - **Yellow**: Run started notifications
+  - **Cyan**: Agent text responses (streamed)
+  - **Green**: Run finished notifications
+  - **Red**: Error messages (if any)
+- Interactive prompt loop for sending messages
+
+## Configuration
+
+Set the following environment variable to specify the AG-UI server URL:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AGUI_SERVER_URL="http://localhost:5100"
+```
+
+If not set, the default is `http://localhost:5100`.
+
+## Running the Client
+
+1. Make sure the AG-UI server is running
+2. Run the client:
+   ```bash
+   cd AGUIClient
+   dotnet run
+   ```
+3. Enter your messages and observe the streaming updates
+4. Type `:q` or `quit` to exit

+# AG-UI Client and Server Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the AG-UI (Agent UI) protocol to enable communication between a client application and a remote agent server. The AG-UI protocol provides a standardized way for clients to interact with AI agents.
+
+## Overview
+
+The demonstration has two components:
+
+1. **AGUIServer** - An ASP.NET Core web server that hosts an AI agent and exposes it via the AG-UI protocol
+2. **AGUIClient** - A console application that connects to the AG-UI server and displays streaming updates
+
+> **Warning**
+> The AG-UI protocol is still under development and changing.
+> We will try to keep these samples updated as the protocol evolves.
+
+## Configuring Environment Variables
+
+Configure the required Azure OpenAI environment variables:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="<<your-model-endpoint>>"
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4.1-mini"
+```
+
+> **Note:** This sample uses `DefaultAzureCredential` for authentication. Make sure you're authenticated with Azure (e.g., via `az login`, Visual Studio, or environment variables).
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+### Step 1: Start the AG-UI Server
+
+```bash
+cd AGUIServer
+dotnet build
+dotnet run --urls "http://localhost:5100"
+```
+
+The server will start and listen on `http://localhost:5100`.
+
+### Step 2: Testing with the REST Client (Optional)
+
+Before running the client, you can test the server using the included `.http` file:
+
+1. Open [./AGUIServer/AGUIServer.http](./AGUIServer/AGUIServer.http) in Visual Studio or VS Code with the REST Client extension
+2. Send a test request to verify the server is working
+3. Observe the server-sent events stream in the response
+
+Sample request:
+```http
+POST http://localhost:5100/
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "threadId": "thread_123",
+  "runId": "run_456",
+  "messages": [
+    {
+      "role": "user",
+      "content": "What is the capital of France?"
+    }
+  ],
+  "context": {}
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3: Run the AG-UI Client
+
+In a new terminal window:
+
+```bash
+cd AGUIClient
+dotnet run
+```
+
+Optionally, configure a different server URL:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AGUI_SERVER_URL="http://localhost:5100"
+```
+
+### Step 4: Interact with the Agent
+
+1. The client will connect to the AG-UI server
+2. Enter your message at the prompt
+3. Observe the streaming updates with color-coded output:
+   - **Yellow**: Run started notification showing thread and run IDs
+   - **Cyan**: Agent's text response (streamed character by character)
+   - **Green**: Run finished notification
+   - **Red**: Error messages (if any occur)
+4. Type `:q` or `quit` to exit
+
+## Sample Output
+
+```
+AGUIClient> dotnet run
+info: AGUIClient[0]
+      Connecting to AG-UI server at: http://localhost:5100
+
+User (:q or quit to exit): What is the capital of France?
+
+[Run Started - Thread: thread_abc123, Run: run_xyz789]
+The capital of France is Paris. It is known for its rich history, culture, and iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum.
+[Run Finished - Thread: thread_abc123, Run: run_xyz789]
+
+User (:q or quit to exit): Tell me a fun fact about space
+
+[Run Started - Thread: thread_abc123, Run: run_def456]
+Here's a fun fact: A day on Venus is longer than its year! Venus takes about 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis, but only about 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun.
+[Run Finished - Thread: thread_abc123, Run: run_def456]
+
+User (:q or quit to exit): :q
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Server Side
+
+The `AGUIServer` uses the `MapAGUI` extension method to expose an agent through the AG-UI protocol:
+
+```csharp
+AIAgent agent = new OpenAIClient(apiKey)
+    .GetChatClient(model)
+    .CreateAIAgent(
+        instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.",
+        name: "AGUIAssistant");
+
+app.MapAGUI("/", agent);
+```
+
+This automatically handles:
+- HTTP POST requests with message payloads
+- Converting agent responses to AG-UI event streams
+- Server-sent events (SSE) formatting
+- Thread and run management
+
+### Client Side
+
+The `AGUIClient` uses the `AGUIChatClient` to connect to the remote server:
+
+```csharp
+using HttpClient httpClient = new();
+var chatClient = new AGUIChatClient(
+    httpClient,
+    endpoint: serverUrl,
+    modelId: "agui-client",
+    jsonSerializerOptions: null);
+
+AIAgent agent = chatClient.CreateAIAgent(
+    instructions: null,
+    name: "agui-client",
+    description: "AG-UI Client Agent",
+    tools: []);
+
+bool isFirstUpdate = true;
+AgentRunResponseUpdate? currentUpdate = null;
+
+await foreach (AgentRunResponseUpdate update in agent.RunStreamingAsync(messages, thread))
+{
+    // First update indicates run started
+    if (isFirstUpdate)
+    {
+        Console.WriteLine($"[Run Started - Thread: {update.ConversationId}, Run: {update.ResponseId}]");
+        isFirstUpdate = false;
+    }
+    
+    currentUpdate = update;
+    
+    foreach (AIContent content in update.Contents)
+    {
+        switch (content)
+        {
+            case TextContent textContent:
+                // Display streaming text
+                Console.Write(textContent.Text);
+                break;
+            case ErrorContent errorContent:
+                // Display error notification
+                Console.WriteLine($"[Error: {errorContent.Message}]");
+                break;
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+// Last update indicates run finished
+if (currentUpdate != null)
+{
+    Console.WriteLine($"\n[Run Finished - Thread: {currentUpdate.ConversationId}, Run: {currentUpdate.ResponseId}]");
+}
+```
+
+The `RunStreamingAsync` method:
+1. Sends messages to the server via HTTP POST
+2. Receives server-sent events (SSE) stream
+3. Parses events into `AgentRunResponseUpdate` objects
+4. Yields updates as they arrive for real-time display
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+- **Thread**: Represents a conversation context that persists across multiple runs (accessed via `ConversationId` property)
+- **Run**: A single execution of the agent for a given set of messages (identified by `ResponseId` property)
+- **AgentRunResponseUpdate**: Contains the response data with:
+  - `ResponseId`: The unique run identifier
+  - `ConversationId`: The thread/conversation identifier
+  - `Contents`: Collection of content items (TextContent, ErrorContent, etc.)
+- **Run Lifecycle**: 
+  - The **first** `AgentRunResponseUpdate` in a run indicates the run has started
+  - Subsequent updates contain streaming content as the agent processes
+  - The **last** `AgentRunResponseUpdate` in a run indicates the run has finished
+  - If an error occurs, the update will contain `ErrorContent`

+# DevUI Step 01 - Basic Usage
+
+This sample demonstrates how to add the DevUI to an ASP.NET Core application with AI agents.
+
+## What is DevUI?
+
+The DevUI provides an interactive web interface for testing and debugging AI agents during development.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+- `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` - Your Azure OpenAI endpoint URL (required)
+- `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` - Your deployment name (defaults to "gpt-4o-mini")
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+1. Set your Azure OpenAI credentials as environment variables
+2. Run the application:
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run
+   ```
+3. Open your browser to https://localhost:50516/devui
+4. Select an agent or workflow from the dropdown and start chatting!
+
+## Sample Agents and Workflows
+
+This sample includes:
+
+**Agents:**
+- **assistant** - A helpful assistant
+- **poet** - A creative poet
+- **coder** - An expert programmer
+
+**Workflows:**
+- **review-workflow** - A sequential workflow that generates a response and then reviews it
+
+## Adding DevUI to Your Own Project
+
+To add DevUI to your ASP.NET Core application:
+
+1. Add the DevUI package and hosting packages:
+   ```bash
+   dotnet add package Microsoft.Agents.AI.DevUI
+   dotnet add package Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting
+   dotnet add package Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting.OpenAI
+   ```
+
+2. Register your agents and workflows:
+   ```csharp
+   var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
+   
+   // Set up your chat client
+   builder.Services.AddChatClient(chatClient);
+   
+   // Register agents

+   builder.AddSequentialWorkflow("my-workflow", [agent1Builder, agent2Builder])
+       .AddAsAIAgent();
+   ```
+
+3. Add OpenAI services and map the endpoints for OpenAI and DevUI:
+   ```csharp
+   // Register services for OpenAI responses and conversations (also required for DevUI)
+   builder.Services.AddOpenAIResponses();
+   builder.Services.AddOpenAIConversations();
+
+   var app = builder.Build();

+# DevUI Samples
+
+This folder contains samples demonstrating how to use the DevUI in ASP.NET Core applications.
+
+## What is DevUI?
+
+The DevUI provides an interactive web interface for testing and debugging AI agents during development.
+
+## Samples
+
+### [DevUI_Step01_BasicUsage](./DevUI_Step01_BasicUsage)
+
+Shows how to add DevUI to an ASP.NET Core application with multiple agents and workflows.
+
+**Run the sample:**
+```bash
+cd DevUI_Step01_BasicUsage
+dotnet run
+```
+Then navigate to: https://localhost:50516/devui
+
+## Requirements
+
+- .NET 8.0 or later
+- ASP.NET Core
+- Azure OpenAI credentials
+
+## Quick Start
+
+To add DevUI to your application:
+
+```csharp
+var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
+
+// Set up the chat client
+builder.Services.AddChatClient(chatClient);
+
+// Register your agents
+builder.AddAIAgent("my-agent", "You are a helpful assistant.");
+
+// Register services for OpenAI responses and conversations (also required for DevUI)
+builder.Services.AddOpenAIResponses();
+builder.Services.AddOpenAIConversations();
+

+/// <summary>
+/// This sample demonstrates an iterative refinement workflow between Writer and Critic agents.
+///
+/// The workflow implements a content creation and review loop that:
+/// 1. Writer creates initial content based on the user's request
+/// 2. Critic reviews the content and provides feedback using structured output
+/// 3. If approved: Summary executor presents the final content
+/// 4. If rejected: Writer revises based on feedback (loops back)
+/// 5. Continues until approval or max iterations (3) is reached
+///
+/// This pattern is useful when you need:
+/// - Iterative content improvement through feedback loops
+/// - Quality gates with reviewer approval
+/// - Maximum iteration limits to prevent infinite loops
+/// - Conditional workflow routing based on agent decisions
+/// - Structured output for reliable decision-making
+///
+/// Key Learning: Workflows can implement loops with conditional edges, shared state,
+/// and structured output for robust agent decision-making.

+/// - Previous foundational samples should be completed first.
