# Assistant Transport
URL: /docs/runtimes/assistant-transport

Stream agent state to the frontend and handle user commands for custom agents.

If you've built an agent as a Python or TypeScript script and want to add a UI to it, you need to solve two problems: streaming updates to the frontend and integrating with the UI framework. Assistant Transport handles both.

Assistant Transport streams your agent's complete state to the frontend in real-time. Unlike traditional approaches that only stream predefined message types (like text or tool calls), it streams your entire agent state—whatever structure your agent uses internally.

It consists of:

* **State streaming**: Efficiently streams updates to your agent state (supports any JSON object)
* **UI integration**: Converts your agent's state into assistant-ui components that render in the browser
* **Command handling**: Sends user actions (messages, tool executions, custom commands) back to your agent

When to Use Assistant Transport \[#when-to-use-assistant-transport]

Use Assistant Transport when:

* You don't have a streaming protocol yet and need one
* You want your agent's native state to be directly accessible in the frontend
* You're building a custom agent framework or one without a streaming protocol (e.g. OSS LangGraph)

Mental Model \[#mental-model]

<Mermaid chart="graph LR\n    Frontend -->|Commands| Agent[Agent Server]\n    Agent -->|State Snapshots| Frontend" />

The frontend receives state snapshots and converts them to React components. The goal is to have the UI be a stateless view on top of the agent framework state.

The agent server receives commands from the frontend. When a user interacts with the UI (sends a message, clicks a button, etc.), the frontend queues a command and sends it to the backend. Assistant Transport defines standard commands like `add-message` and `add-tool-result`, and you can define custom commands.

Command Lifecycle \[#command-lifecycle]

Commands go through the following lifecycle:

<Mermaid chart="graph LR\n    queued -->|sent to backend| in_transit\n    in_transit -->|backend processes| applied" />

The runtime alternates between **idle** (no active backend request) and **sending** (request in flight). When a new command is created while idle, it's immediately sent. Otherwise, it's queued until the current request completes.

<Mermaid chart="graph LR\n    idle -->|new command| sending\n    sending -->|request completes| check{check queue}\n    check -->|queue has commands| sending\n    check -->|queue empty| idle" />

To implement this architecture, you need to build 2 pieces:

1. **Backend endpoint** on the agent server that accepts commands and returns a stream of state snapshots
2. **Frontend-side [state converter](#state-converter)** that converts state snapshots to assistant-ui's data format so that the UI primitives work

Building a Backend Endpoint \[#building-a-backend-endpoint]

Let's build the backend endpoint step by step. You'll need to handle incoming commands, update your agent state, and stream the updates back to the frontend.

The backend endpoint receives POST requests with the following payload:

```typescript
{
  state: T, // The previous state that the frontend has access to
  commands: AssistantTransportCommand[],
  system?: string,
  tools?: ToolDefinition[],
  threadId: string // The current thread/conversation identifier
}
```

The backend endpoint returns a stream of state snapshots using the `assistant-stream` library ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/assistant-stream) / [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/assistant-stream/)).

Handling Commands \[#handling-commands]

The backend endpoint processes commands from the `commands` array:

```python
for command in request.commands:
    if command.type == "add-message":
        # Handle adding a user message
    elif command.type == "add-tool-result":
        # Handle tool execution result
    elif command.type == "my-custom-command":
        # Handle your custom command
```

Streaming Updates \[#streaming-updates]

To stream state updates, modify `controller.state` within your run callback:

```python
from assistant_stream import RunController, create_run
from assistant_stream.serialization import DataStreamResponse

@app.post("/assistant")
async def chat_endpoint(request: ChatRequest):
    async def run_callback(controller: RunController):
        # Emits "set" at path ["message"] with value "Hello"
        controller.state["message"] = "Hello"

        # Emits "append-text" at path ["message"] with value " World"
        controller.state["message"] += " World"

    # Create and return the stream
    stream = create_run(run_callback, state=request.state)
    return DataStreamResponse(stream)
```

The state snapshots are automatically streamed to the frontend using the operations described in [Streaming Protocol](#streaming-protocol).

> **Cancellation:** `create_run` exposes `controller.is_cancelled` and `controller.cancelled_event`.
> If the response stream is closed early (for example user cancel or client disconnect),
> these are set so your backend loop can exit cooperatively.
> `controller.cancelled_event` is a read-only signal object with `wait()` and `is_set()`.
> `create_run` gives callbacks a \~50ms cooperative shutdown window before forced task cancellation.
> Callback exceptions that happen during early-close cleanup are not re-raised to the stream consumer,
> but are logged with traceback at warning level for debugging.
> Put critical cleanup in `finally` blocks, since forced cancellation may happen after the grace window.
>
> ```python
> async def run_callback(controller: RunController):
>     while not controller.is_cancelled:
>         # Long-running work / model loop
>         await asyncio.sleep(0.05)
> ```
>
> ```python
> async def run_callback(controller: RunController):
>     await controller.cancelled_event.wait()
>     # cancellation-aware shutdown path
> ```

Streaming Protocol \[#streaming-protocol]

The assistant-stream state replication protocol allows for streaming updates to an arbitrary JSON object.

Operations \[#operations]

The protocol supports two operations:

> **Note:** We've found that these two operations are enough to handle all sorts of complex state operations efficiently. `set` handles value updates and nested structures, while `append-text` enables efficient streaming of text content.

set \[#set]

Sets a value at a specific path in the JSON object.

```json
// Operation
{ "type": "set", "path": ["status"], "value": "completed" }

// Before
{ "status": "pending" }

// After
{ "status": "completed" }
```

append-text \[#append-text]

Appends text to an existing string value at a path.

```json
// Operation
{ "type": "append-text", "path": ["message"], "value": " World" }

// Before
{ "message": "Hello" }

// After
{ "message": "Hello World" }
```

Wire Format \[#wire-format]

<Callout type="warn">
  The wire format will be migrated to Server-Sent Events (SSE) in a future
  release.
</Callout>

The wire format is inspired by [AI SDK's data stream protocol](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-ui/stream-protocol).

**State Update:**

```
aui-state:ObjectStreamOperation[]
```

```
aui-state:[{"type":"set","path":["status"],"value":"completed"}]
```

**Error:**

```
3:string
```

```
3:"error message"
```

Building a Frontend \[#building-a-frontend]

Now let's set up the frontend. The state converter is the heart of the integration—it transforms your agent's state into the format assistant-ui expects.

The `useAssistantTransportRuntime` hook is used to configure the runtime. It accepts the following config:

```typescript
{
  initialState: T,
  api: string,
  resumeApi?: string,
  converter: (state: T, connectionMetadata: ConnectionMetadata) => AssistantTransportState,
  headers?: Record<string, string> | (() => Promise<Record<string, string>>),
  body?: object,
  capabilities?: { edit?: boolean },
  onResponse?: (response: Response) => void,
  onFinish?: () => void,
  onError?: (error: Error) => void,
  onCancel?: () => void
}
```

State Converter \[#state-converter]

The state converter is the core of your frontend integration. It transforms your agent's state into assistant-ui's message format.

```typescript
(
  state: T, // Your agent's state
  connectionMetadata: {
    pendingCommands: Command[], // Commands not yet sent to backend
    isSending: boolean // Whether a request is in flight
  }
) => {
  messages: ThreadMessage[], // Messages to display
  isRunning: boolean // Whether the agent is running
}
```

Converting Messages \[#converting-messages]

Use the `createMessageConverter` API to transform your agent's messages to assistant-ui format:

<Tabs items={["Example", "LangChain"]}>
  <Tab>
    ```typescript
    import { unstable_createMessageConverter as createMessageConverter } from "@assistant-ui/react";

    // Define your message type
    type YourMessageType = {
      id: string;
      role: "user" | "assistant";
      content: string;
      timestamp: number;
    };

    // Define a converter function for a single message
    const exampleMessageConverter = (message: YourMessageType) => {
      // Transform a single message to assistant-ui format
      return {
        role: message.role,
        content: [{ type: "text", text: message.content }]
      };
    };

    const messageConverter = createMessageConverter(exampleMessageConverter);

    const converter = (state: YourAgentState) => {
      return {
        messages: messageConverter.toThreadMessages(state.messages),
        isRunning: false
      };
    };
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab>
    ```typescript
    import { unstable_createMessageConverter as createMessageConverter } from "@assistant-ui/react";
    import { convertLangChainMessages } from "@assistant-ui/react-langgraph";

    const messageConverter = createMessageConverter(convertLangChainMessages);

    const converter = (state: YourAgentState) => {
      return {
        messages: messageConverter.toThreadMessages(state.messages),
        isRunning: false
      };
    };
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

**Reverse mapping:**

The message converter allows you to retrieve the original message format anywhere inside assistant-ui. This lets you access your agent's native message structure from any assistant-ui component:

```typescript
// Get original message(s) from a ThreadMessage anywhere in assistant-ui
const originalMessage = messageConverter.toOriginalMessage(threadMessage);
```

Optimistic Updates from Commands \[#optimistic-updates-from-commands]

The converter also receives `connectionMetadata` which contains pending commands. Use this to show optimistic updates:

```typescript
const converter = (state: State, connectionMetadata: ConnectionMetadata) => {
  // Extract pending messages from commands
  const optimisticMessages = connectionMetadata.pendingCommands
    .filter((c) => c.type === "add-message")
    .map((c) => c.message);

  return {
    messages: [...state.messages, ...optimisticMessages],
    isRunning: connectionMetadata.isSending || false
  };
};
```

Handling Errors and Cancellations \[#handling-errors-and-cancellations]

The `onError` and `onCancel` callbacks receive an `updateState` function that allows you to update the agent state on the client side without making a server request:

```typescript
const runtime = useAssistantTransportRuntime({
  // ... other options
  onError: (error, { commands, updateState }) => {
    console.error("Error occurred:", error);
    console.log("Commands in transit:", commands);

    // Update state to reflect the error
    updateState((currentState) => ({
      ...currentState,
      lastError: error.message,
    }));
  },
  onCancel: ({ commands, updateState }) => {
    console.log("Request cancelled");
    console.log("Commands in transit or queued:", commands);

    // Update state to reflect cancellation
    updateState((currentState) => ({
      ...currentState,
      status: "cancelled",
    }));
  },
});
```

> **Note:** `onError` receives commands that were in transit, while `onCancel` receives both in-transit and queued commands.

Custom Headers and Body \[#custom-headers-and-body]

You can pass custom headers and body to the backend endpoint:

```typescript
const runtime = useAssistantTransportRuntime({
  // ... other options
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer token",
    "X-Custom-Header": "value",
  },
  body: {
    customField: "value",
  },
});
```

Dynamic Headers and Body \[#dynamic-headers-and-body]

You can also evaluate the header and body payloads on every request by passing an async function:

```typescript
const runtime = useAssistantTransportRuntime({
  // ... other options
  headers: async () => ({
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${await getAccessToken()}`,
    "X-Request-ID": crypto.randomUUID(),
  }),
  body: async () => ({
    customField: "value",
    requestId: crypto.randomUUID(),
    timestamp: Date.now(),
  }),
});
```

Editing Messages \[#editing-messages]

By default, editing messages is disabled. To enable it, set `capabilities.edit` to `true`:

```typescript
const runtime = useAssistantTransportRuntime({
  // ... other options
  capabilities: {
    edit: true,
  },
});
```

`add-message` commands always include `parentId` and `sourceId` fields:

```typescript
{
  type: "add-message",
  message: { role: "user", parts: [...] },
  parentId: "msg-3",  // The message after which this message should be inserted
  sourceId: "msg-4",  // The ID of the message being replaced (null for new messages)
}
```

Backend Handling \[#backend-handling]

When the backend receives an `add-message` command with a `parentId`, it should:

1. Truncate all messages after the message with `parentId`
2. Append the new message
3. Stream the updated state back to the frontend

```python
for command in request.commands:
    if command.type == "add-message":
        if hasattr(command, "parentId") and command.parentId is not None:
            # Find the parent message index and truncate
            parent_idx = next(
                i for i, m in enumerate(messages) if m.id == command.parentId
            )
            messages = messages[:parent_idx + 1]
        # Append the new message
        messages.append(command.message)
```

<Callout type="info">
  `parentId` and `sourceId` are always included on `add-message` commands. For new messages, `sourceId` will be `null`.
</Callout>

Resuming from a Sync Server \[#resuming-from-a-sync-server]

<Callout type="info">
  We provide a sync server currently only as part of the enterprise plan. Please
  contact us for more information.
</Callout>

To enable resumability, you need to:

1. Pass a `resumeApi` URL to `useAssistantTransportRuntime` that points to your sync server
2. Use the `unstable_resumeRun` API to resume a conversation

```typescript
import { useAui } from "@assistant-ui/react";

const runtime = useAssistantTransportRuntime({
  // ... other options
  api: "http://localhost:8010/assistant",
  resumeApi: "http://localhost:8010/resume", // Sync server endpoint
  // ... other options
});

// Typically called on thread switch or mount to check if sync server has anything to resume
const aui = useAui();
aui.thread().unstable_resumeRun({
  parentId: null, // Ignored (will be removed in a future version)
});
```

Accessing Runtime State \[#accessing-runtime-state]

Use the `useAssistantTransportState` hook to access the current agent state from any component:

```typescript
import { useAssistantTransportState } from "@assistant-ui/react";

function MyComponent() {
  const state = useAssistantTransportState();

  return <div>{JSON.stringify(state)}</div>;
}
```

You can also pass a selector function to extract specific values:

```typescript
function MyComponent() {
  const messages = useAssistantTransportState((state) => state.messages);

  return <div>Message count: {messages.length}</div>;
}
```

Type Safety \[#type-safety]

Use module augmentation to add types for your agent state:

```typescript title="assistant.config.ts"
import "@assistant-ui/react";

declare module "@assistant-ui/react" {
  namespace Assistant {
    interface ExternalState {
      myState: {
        messages: Message[];
        customField: string;
      };
    }
  }
}
```

> **Note:** Place this file anywhere in your project (e.g., `src/assistant.config.ts` or at the project root). TypeScript will automatically pick up the type augmentation through module resolution—you don't need to import this file anywhere.

After adding the type augmentation, `useAssistantTransportState` will be fully typed:

```typescript
function MyComponent() {
  // TypeScript knows about your custom fields
  const customField = useAssistantTransportState((state) => state.customField);

  return <div>{customField}</div>;
}
```

Accessing the Original Message \[#accessing-the-original-message]

If you're using `createMessageConverter`, you can access the original message format from any assistant-ui component using the converter's `toOriginalMessage` method:

```typescript
import { unstable_createMessageConverter as createMessageConverter } from "@assistant-ui/react";
import { useMessage } from "@assistant-ui/react";

const messageConverter = createMessageConverter(yourMessageConverter);

function MyMessageComponent() {
  const message = useMessage();

  // Get the original message(s) from the converted ThreadMessage
  const originalMessage = messageConverter.toOriginalMessage(message);

  // Access your agent's native message structure
  return <div>{originalMessage.yourCustomField}</div>;
}
```

You can also use `toOriginalMessages` to get all original messages when a ThreadMessage was created from multiple source messages:

```typescript
const originalMessages = messageConverter.toOriginalMessages(message);
```

Custom Commands \[#custom-commands]

Defining Custom Commands \[#defining-custom-commands]

Use module augmentation to define a custom command:

```typescript title="assistant.config.ts"
import "@assistant-ui/react";

declare module "@assistant-ui/react" {
  namespace Assistant {
    interface Commands {
      myCustomCommand: {
        type: "my-custom-command";
        data: string;
      };
    }
  }
}
```

Issuing Commands \[#issuing-commands]

Use the `useAssistantTransportSendCommand` hook to send custom commands:

```typescript
import { useAssistantTransportSendCommand } from "@assistant-ui/react";

function MyComponent() {
  const sendCommand = useAssistantTransportSendCommand();

  const handleClick = () => {
    sendCommand({
      type: "my-custom-command",
      data: "Hello, world!",
    });
  };

  return <button onClick={handleClick}>Send Custom Command</button>;
}
```

Backend Integration \[#backend-integration]

The backend receives custom commands in the `commands` array, just like built-in commands:

```python
for command in request.commands:
    if command.type == "add-message":
        # Handle add-message command
    elif command.type == "add-tool-result":
        # Handle add-tool-result command
    elif command.type == "my-custom-command":
        # Handle your custom command
        data = command.data
```

Optimistic Updates \[#optimistic-updates]

Update the [state converter](#state-converter) to optimistically handle the custom command:

```typescript
const converter = (state: State, connectionMetadata: ConnectionMetadata) => {
  // Filter custom commands from pending commands
  const customCommands = connectionMetadata.pendingCommands.filter(
    (c) => c.type === "my-custom-command"
  );

  // Apply optimistic updates based on custom commands
  const optimisticState = {
    ...state,
    customData: customCommands.map((c) => c.data),
  };

  return {
    messages: state.messages,
    state: optimisticState,
    isRunning: connectionMetadata.isSending || false,
  };
};
```

Cancellation and Error Behavior \[#cancellation-and-error-behavior]

Custom commands follow the same lifecycle as built-in commands. You can update your `onError` and `onCancel` handlers to take custom commands into account:

```typescript
const runtime = useAssistantTransportRuntime({
  // ... other options
  onError: (error, { commands, updateState }) => {
    // Check if any custom commands were in transit
    const customCommands = commands.filter((c) => c.type === "my-custom-command");

    if (customCommands.length > 0) {
      // Handle custom command errors
      updateState((state) => ({
        ...state,
        customCommandFailed: true,
      }));
    }
  },
  onCancel: ({ commands, updateState }) => {
    // Check if any custom commands were queued or in transit
    const customCommands = commands.filter((c) => c.type === "my-custom-command");

    if (customCommands.length > 0) {
      // Handle custom command cancellation
      updateState((state) => ({
        ...state,
        customCommandCancelled: true,
      }));
    }
  },
});
```
