Building agentic applications just got a whole lot easier.

We’re excited to release the AG-UI protocol CLI flow- the quickest and easiest way to get started with AG-UI in under two minutes.

Why this matters

Most developers want to test ideas fast without spending hours wiring up configs and boilerplate. The CLI flow solves that by giving you a zero-friction way to:

• Spin up a new project from scratch
• Plug into all major frameworks out of the box
• Or run with our standalone terminal client if you prefer a lightweight setup and are curious about creating your own client integration.

In other words, you can go from nothing to a running agentic application without touching a line of setup code.

How it works

1. Install the CLI → one command to set everything up npx create-ag-ui-app@latest.
2. Choose your framework → React, Next.js, Vite, or go terminal-only.
3. Start coding → you’re instantly connected to the AG-UI protocol, ready to build interactive, agent-powered experiences.

The CLI flow generates the right project structure, wires in AG-UI events, and leaves you with clean, production-ready scaffolding you can actually build on.

Why developers love it

• Speed → Get to “Hello Agent” in under 2 minutes.
• Flexibility → Works across agentic frameworks and terminal environments.
• Extensibility → everything you scaffold is ready for customization.

Try it today

If you’ve been curious about AG-UI but didn’t want to agonize over setup, I invite you to check it out. The CLI flow is the fastest way to experience the AG-UI protocol and start building agentic apps from scratch.
