Agentuity Docs

Choose where your frontend lives based on your project needs.

All-in-One Deployment

Put your frontend code in src/web/ and deploy everything together:

my-project/
├── src/
│   ├── agent/
│   │   └── chat/
│   │       └── agent.ts
│   ├── api/
│   │   └── index.ts
│   └── web/
│       ├── App.tsx
│       ├── frontend.tsx
│       └── index.html
└── agentuity.json

When you run agentuity deploy, both your agents and frontend are bundled and deployed together.

// src/web/App.tsx
import { AgentuityProvider, useAPI } from '@agentuity/react';
 
function Chat() {
  const { invoke, data, isLoading } = useAPI('POST /api/chat');
  // ... your chat UI
}
 
export default function App() {
  return (
    <AgentuityProvider>
      <Chat />
    </AgentuityProvider>
  );
}

No baseUrl Needed

When frontend and agents are deployed together, you don't need to set baseUrl. The provider automatically connects to the same origin.

Best for:

New projects starting from scratch
Simple deployments with one codebase
Projects that don't need separate frontend scaling

Separate Frontend

Deploy your frontend on Vercel, Netlify, or any hosting platform while agents run on Agentuity:

Frontend (e.g., Vercel)                Agents (Agentuity)
┌───────────────────────┐           ┌───────────────────────┐
│     your-app.com      │ ────────► │    project.cloud      │
│     React/Next.js     │           │     Agent routes      │
└───────────────────────┘           └───────────────────────┘

// In your React app
import { AgentuityProvider, useAgent } from '@agentuity/react';
 
export default function App() {
  return (
    <AgentuityProvider baseUrl="https://your-project.agentuity.cloud">
      <YourApp />
    </AgentuityProvider>
  );
}

Best for:

Existing projects adding AI agents
Teams with separate frontend and backend deployments

CORS Configuration

When your frontend and agents are on different domains, configure CORS in app.ts:

// app.ts
import { createApp } from '@agentuity/runtime';
 
const { server, logger } = await createApp({
  cors: {
    origin: ['https://your-frontend.com', 'http://localhost:3000'],
    allowMethods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE'],
    allowHeaders: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization'],
  },
});
 
logger.debug('Running %s', server.url);

Required for Cross-Origin

Without CORS configuration, browsers will block requests from your frontend to your agents when they're on different domains.

Comparison

Aspect	All-in-One	Separate Frontend
Deployment	Single `agentuity deploy`	Deploy frontend and agents separately
Configuration	Minimal	Requires `baseUrl` and CORS
Scaling	Tied together	Independent scaling
Best for	New projects	Existing frontends

Next Steps

React Hooks: Call agents from your components
Provider Setup: Configure the provider for your environment
App Configuration: CORS and other app-level settings
