About this event

We start at 18:00

Integrating agentic AI into the UI easily leads to ad hoc integrations, tight coupling to backend technologies, and vendor lock-in.

So how do we design scalable, maintainable interactions between agents and users?

This session shows how open standards like AG-UI, A2UI, and MCP Apps enable a protocol-driven approach to Agentic UI, establishing clear, message-based boundaries that decouple UI, agent logic, and tools. You’ll learn how to apply these standards, leveraging dynamic UI generation, tool integration, and Human-in-the-Loop patterns.

By the end, you’ll understand how to design Agentic UI using open standards and clear, protocol-based boundaries.

Learnings

  • What possibilities Agentic UI provides

  • How AG-UI, A2UI, and MCP Apps play together

  • How to prevent coupling to the server stack

  • How Client Side Tool Calling works

  • How agents can dynamically create components
