Cancellation:
create_runexposescontroller.is_cancelledandcontroller.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_eventis a read-only signal object withwait()andis_set().create_rungives 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 infinallyblocks, since forced cancellation may happen after the grace window.

Backend Reference Implementation [#backend-reference-implementation]
Full example: python/assistant-transport-backend-langgraph
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:
set [#set]
Sets a value at a specific path in the JSON object.
append-text [#append-text]
Appends text to an existing string value at a path.
Wire Format [#wire-format]
The wire format is inspired by AI SDK's data stream protocol.
State Update:
Error:
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:
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.
Converting Messages [#converting-messages]
Use the createMessageConverter API to transform your agent's messages to assistant-ui format:
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:
Optimistic Updates from Commands [#optimistic-updates-from-commands]
The converter also receives connectionMetadata which contains pending commands. Use this to show optimistic updates:
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:
Custom Headers and Body [#custom-headers-and-body]
You can pass custom headers and body to the backend endpoint:
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:
Transforming the Request Body [#transforming-the-request-body]
Use prepareSendCommandsRequest to transform the entire request body before it is sent to the backend. This receives the fully assembled body object and returns the (potentially transformed) body.
This is useful for adding tracking IDs, transforming commands, or injecting metadata that depends on the assembled request:
Editing Messages [#editing-messages]
By default, editing messages is disabled. To enable it, set capabilities.edit to true:
add-message commands always include parentId and sourceId fields:
Backend Handling [#backend-handling]
When the backend receives an add-message command with a parentId, it should:
Resuming from a Sync Server [#resuming-from-a-sync-server]
When a user refreshes the page, switches tabs, or reconnects after a network interruption, the backend may still be generating a response. resumeRun allows the frontend to reconnect to the active backend stream.
Setup [#setup]
Pass a resumeApi URL to useAssistantTransportRuntime that points to your sync server:
Resuming on thread switch or page load [#resuming-on-thread-switch-or-page-load]
When switching to a thread or mounting a component, check if the backend is still running and call resumeRun:
For the AssistantTransport runtime, you do not need to pass a stream parameter — the runtime uses the configured resumeApi endpoint to reconnect.
Accessing Runtime State [#accessing-runtime-state]
Use the useAssistantTransportState hook to access the current agent state from any component:
You can also pass a selector function to extract specific values:
Type Safety [#type-safety]
Use module augmentation to add types for your agent state:
After adding the type augmentation, useAssistantTransportState will be fully typed:
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:
You can also use toOriginalMessages to get all original messages when a ThreadMessage was created from multiple source messages:
Frontend Reference Implementation [#frontend-reference-implementation]
Full example: examples/with-assistant-transport
Custom Commands [#custom-commands]
Defining Custom Commands [#defining-custom-commands]
Use module augmentation to define a custom command:
Issuing Commands [#issuing-commands]
Use the useAssistantTransportSendCommand hook to send custom commands:
Backend Integration [#backend-integration]
The backend receives custom commands in the commands array, just like built-in commands:
Optimistic Updates [#optimistic-updates]
Update the state converter to optimistically handle the custom command:
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:

Accuracy [#accuracy]
Timing accuracy depends on how your backend is connected.
assistant-stream (accurate) [#assistant-stream-accurate]
When using assistant-stream on the backend, token counts come directly from the model's usage data sent in step-finish chunks. The tokensPerSecond metric is exact whenever your backend reports outputTokens.
Vercel AI SDK (estimated) [#vercel-ai-sdk-estimated]
When using the AI SDK integration (useChatRuntime), token counts are estimated client-side using a 4 characters per token approximation. This can overcount significantly for short messages.
API Reference [#api-reference]
MessageTiming component [#messagetiming-component]

An example implementation of this is shadcn/ui's Scroll Area.

Share model context across iframe boundaries
The Assistant Frame API enables iframes to provide model context (tools and instructions) to a parent window's assistant. This is particularly useful for embedded applications, plugins, or sandboxed components that need to contribute capabilities to the main assistant.
Overview [#overview]
The Assistant Frame system consists of two main components:
Basic Usage [#basic-usage]
In the iframe (Provider) [#in-the-iframe-provider]
The iframe acts as a provider of model context using AssistantFrameProvider:
In the parent window (Host) [#in-the-parent-window-host]
The parent window consumes the iframe's context using AssistantFrameHost:
Advanced Usage [#advanced-usage]
ModelContextRegistry [#modelcontextregistry]
The ModelContextRegistry provides a flexible way to manage model context dynamically:
Multiple Providers [#multiple-providers]
You can register multiple model context providers in the same iframe:
Security Considerations [#security-considerations]
Origin Validation [#origin-validation]
Both the provider and host can specify allowed origins for security:
Tool Execution [#tool-execution]
Tools are executed in the iframe's context, keeping sensitive operations sandboxed:
