Convex Agent Component

Convex provides powerful building blocks for building agentic AI applications, leveraging Components and existing Convex features.

With Convex, you can separate your long-running agentic workflows from your UI, without the user losing reactivity and interactivity.

npm i @convex-dev/agent

AI Agents, built on Convex. Check out the docs here.

The Agent component is a core building block for building AI agents. It manages threads and messages, around which you Agents can cooperate in static or dynamic workflows.

• Agents provide an abstraction for using LLMs to represent units of use-case-specific prompting with associated models, prompts, Tool Calls, and behavior in relation to other Agents, functions, APIs, and more.
• Threads persist messages and can be shared by multiple users and agents (including human agents).
• Streaming text and objects using deltas over websockets so all clients stay in sync efficiently, without http streaming. Enables streaming from async functions.
• Conversation context is automatically included in each LLM call, including built-in hybrid vector/text search for messages in the thread and opt-in search for messages from other threads (for the same specified user).
• RAG techniques are supported for prompt augmentation from other sources, either up front in the prompt or as tool calls. Integrates with the RAG Component, or DIY.
• Workflows allow building multi-step operations that can span agents, users, durably and reliably.
• Files are supported in thread history with automatic saving to file storage and ref-counting.
• Debugging is enabled by callbacks, the agent playground where you can inspect all metadata and iterate on prompts and context settings, and inspection in the dashboard.
• Usage tracking is easy to set up, enabling usage attribution per-provider, per-model, per-user, per-agent, for billing & more.
• Rate limiting, powered by the Rate Limiter Component, helps control the rate at which users can interact with agents and keep you from exceeding your LLM provider's limits.
