Basic Example

1. Create Agent (`src/server.ts`)

import { AriaFlowAIChatAgent } from "@ariaflowagents/cf-agent";
import { createOpenAI } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { tool } from "ai";
import { z } from "zod";

interface Env {
  OPENAI_API_KEY: string;
}

export class MyAgent extends AriaFlowAIChatAgent<Env> {
  protected getRuntimeConfig() {
    const openai = createOpenAI({ apiKey: this.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });

    return {
      agents: [{
        id: "assistant",
        type: "llm" as const,
        name: "Assistant",
        model: openai("gpt-4o"),
        prompt: "You are a helpful assistant",
        tools: {
          getWeather: tool({
            description: "Get weather for a city",
            inputSchema: z.object({ city: z.string() }),
            execute: async ({ city }) => {
              return { temperature: 72, condition: "sunny" };
            },
          }),
        },
      }],
      defaultAgentId: "assistant",
    };
  }
}

export default MyAgent;

2. Create UI (`src/app.tsx`)

import { useAgent } from "agents/react";
import { useAgentChat } from "@cloudflare/ai-chat/react";

export function Chat() {
  const agent = useAgent({ agent: "MyAgent" });
  const { messages, sendMessage, status } = useAgentChat({ agent });

  return (
    <div>
      {messages.map((msg) => (
        <div key={msg.id}>
          <strong>{msg.role}:</strong>
          {msg.parts.map((part, i) =>
            part.type === "text" ? <span key={i}>{part.text}</span> : null
          )}
        </div>
      ))}
      <form onSubmit={(e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        const input = e.currentTarget.elements.namedItem("input") as HTMLInputElement;
        sendMessage({ text: input.value });
        input.value = "";
      }}>
        <input name="input" placeholder="Type a message..." />
        <button type="submit" disabled={status === "streaming"}>Send</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  );
}

  },
  "migrations": [{ "tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"] }]
}

  }
}

Agent Types

LLMAgent

Standard conversational agent with tools:

{
  id: "sales",
  type: "llm" as const,
  name: "Sales Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  prompt: "You are a sales specialist...",
  tools: { /* ... */ },
  canHandoffTo: ["support", "billing"]
}

FlowAgent

Structured node-based conversation flows:

{
  id: "order-flow",
  type: "flow" as const,
  name: "Order Flow",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  flow: {
    nodes: [
      { 
        id: "initial", 
        task: "Ask what they want",
        transitions: [{ to: "confirm", on: "product_selected" }]
      },
      { 
        id: "confirm", 
        task: "Confirm order",
        transitions: [{ to: "end", on: "confirmed" }]
      }
    ],
    hybrid: true // Allow off-flow questions
  }
}

TriageAgent

Intelligent routing between agents:

{
  id: "router",
  type: "triage" as const,
  name: "Router",
  model: openai("gpt-4o-mini"),
  routingConfig: {
    agents: ["sales", "support", "billing"],
    instructions: "Route based on user intent..."
  }
}

CompositeAgent

Multi-agent coordination:

{
  id: "supervisor",
  type: "composite" as const,
  name: "Supervisor",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  agents: ["researcher", "analyst", "writer"],
  coordinationMode: "sequential"
}

Tools

Server-Side Tools

Run automatically on the server:

tools: {
  getWeather: tool({
    description: "Get weather for a city",
    inputSchema: z.object({ city: z.string() }),
    execute: async ({ city }) => {
      // Runs on server
      return await fetchWeather(city);
    }
  })
}

Client-Side Tools

No execute function - browser provides the result:

// Server
tools: {
  getLocation: tool({
    description: "Get user location",
    inputSchema: z.object({})
    // No execute - client handles it
  })
}

// Client
useAgentChat({
  onToolCall: async ({ toolCall, addToolOutput }) => {
    if (toolCall.toolName === "getLocation") {
      const pos = await navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition();
      addToolOutput({
        toolCallId: toolCall.toolCallId,
        output: { lat: pos.coords.latitude, lng: pos.coords.longitude }
      });
    }
  }
});

Approval Tools

Human-in-the-loop for sensitive operations:

tools: {
  processRefund: tool({
    description: "Process a refund",
    inputSchema: z.object({ orderId: z.string(), amount: z.number() }),
    needsApproval: ({ amount }) => amount > 100,
    execute: async ({ orderId, amount }) => {
      // Only runs after user approval
      return await processRefund(orderId, amount);
    }
  })
}

Hooks

React to agent lifecycle events:

protected getHooks() {
  return {
    onHandoff: async (context, from, to, reason) => {
      console.log(`Handoff: ${from} -> ${to} (${reason})`);
    },
    
    onToolCall: async (context, toolCall) => {
      console.log(`Tool: ${toolCall.toolName}`);
    },
    
    onNodeEnter: async (context, node) => {
      console.log(`Flow node: ${node.name}`);
    }
  };
}

State Persistence

AriaFlow stores two types of data:

CF Tables (cf_ai_chat_*): Chat messages, stream chunks, resumption data
AriaFlow Tables (ariaflow_sessions): Session state, working memory, flow state

SQLite Database:
├── cf_ai_chat_agent_messages  (UIMessages for UI)
├── cf_ai_chat_stream_chunks   (Stream chunks)
├── cf_ai_chat_stream_metadata (Stream state)
└── ariaflow_sessions          (AriaFlow Session state)

Custom Configuration

Stream Adapter

Control which events are sent to the client:

protected getStreamAdapterConfig() {
  return {
    includeHandoffs: true,    // Show agent handoffs in UI
    includeFlowEvents: true,  // Show flow node transitions
    includeTripwires: true,   // Show guardrail triggers
    includeStepEvents: false, // Hide step lifecycle
    includeAgentEvents: false // Hide agent lifecycle
  };
}

Session ID

Override default session ID generation:

protected getSessionId(): string {
  // Default uses Durable Object ID
  // Override for custom session management
  return `user-${this.getUserId()}`;
}

Scripts

# Development (with hot reload)
npm run dev

# Deploy to Cloudflare
npm run deploy

# Generate types
npm run types

# Build only
npm run build

Using Different AI Providers

Workers AI (No API key needed)

import { createWorkersAI } from "workers-ai-provider";

const workersai = createWorkersAI({ binding: this.env.AI });

// In agent config:
model: workersai("@cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast")

OpenAI

npm install @ai-sdk/openai

import { createOpenAI } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const openai = createOpenAI({ apiKey: this.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });

// In agent config:
model: openai("gpt-4o")

Anthropic

npm install @ai-sdk/anthropic

import { createAnthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";

const anthropic = createAnthropic({ apiKey: this.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY });

// In agent config:
model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-20250514")
