What problem does it solve?

Guide for building custom TypeScript UIs for Kagenti ADK agents using the ADK UI SDK and A2A protocol. This UI enables developers to create tailored frontends (chat interfaces, dashboards, or interactive components) that integrate with ADK agents without modifying agent code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SDK-driven UI: Use ADK UI to manage agent card demands, resolve metadata, and handle streaming A2A interactions.
  • Interactive UI Extensions: Render trajectory, citations, errors, and other agent-provided UI extensions in a compliant way.
  • Agent-agnostic: Works with any ADK agent via the extension system; supports forms, approvals, OAuth, secrets, and canvases as needed.
  • Use Case: Build a dedicated frontend for one or multiple Kagenti ADK agents to support testing, monitoring, or custom experiences.

Quick Start

Install dependencies and start the development server for the Kagenti ADK UI using your frameworkโ€™s normal dev command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a custom chat UI for ADK agents without modifying agent code?โ–ผ

Build custom chat UIs for ADK agents using the ADK UI SDK to handle A2A interactions and render UI extensions without modifying agent code. The SDK manages agent card demands, resolves metadata, and handles streaming interactions.

What is the A2A protocol's role in custom agent frontend interfaces?โ–ผ

The A2A protocol enables real-time streaming interactions between custom TypeScript frontends and ADK agents. It manages demands resolution and UI extension extraction, allowing interactive components like forms and approvals to render compliantly.

Can I render trajectory, citations, and errors in an ADK agent frontend?โ–ผ

Yes, you can render trajectory, citations, and errors in an ADK agent frontend using the UI extension system. The SDK extracts and displays these agent-provided extensions compliantly across any ADK agent.

Do I need to configure environment variables for ADK UI SDK integration?โ–ผ

Yes, environment-driven configuration is required for ADK UI SDK integration. The system enforces strict type safety and manages integration with the platform API and A2A transport through these environment configurations.

How do I handle form-driven interactions and approvals in a Kagenti ADK UI?โ–ผ

Handle form-driven interactions and approvals in a Kagenti ADK UI using the interactive UI extension system. The SDK supports forms, approvals, OAuth, secrets, and canvases natively without altering the underlying agent logic.

Does the ADK UI SDK support TypeScript type safety for agent interactions?โ–ผ

Yes, the ADK UI SDK enforces strict TypeScript type safety for agent interactions. This ensures reliable handling of A2A transport, platform API integration, and UI extension extraction during frontend development.
