Build agentic full-stack apps with Genkit

The open-source Genkit framework has introduced the Agents API, a full-stack tool designed to simplify the complex plumbing of conversational AI by packaging message history, tool loops, and streaming into a single interface. The API supports flexible, server- or client-managed state persistence—allowing for advanced workflows like history branching, long-running detached tasks, and multi-agent coordination—while seamlessly connecting backends to frontends via a unified wire protocol. Currently available in preview for TypeScript and Go, it also integrates with the Genkit Developer UI to allow developers to easily test, debug, and inspect agent snapshots without writing client code.
