# Agent Widget

> The rich interactive client through which most people use an Agent Application.

> **Agent Widget** is the rich interactive client for an agent: sessions,
> multimodal input, runtime events, tool calls, artifacts, approvals, and
> generated UI.

An agent widget may fill a window, sit beside another application, or open as a
popup. It signs the user in, shows their sessions, and exposes the model or
harness options available to them. Users can type or speak, upload files, and
control the running agent.

The conversation view is more than a message list. It can show progress,
reasoning summaries, tool calls and results, approval requests, errors, and run
status. The widget also opens artifacts and hosts interactive forms, dashboards,
viewers, or controls supplied by the agent or its tools.

[AG-UI](https://docs.ag-ui.com/) standardizes events between an agent backend
and its frontend. [MCP Apps](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/extensions/apps/overview)
standardizes interactive views that tools deliver inside a compatible host.
