Agent-Native

The framework for agent-native apps

Agent-Native is an open-source framework for building robust agents that act inside real apps, not just chat next to them. It gives you primitives for product-grade agentic software: shared actions, SQL-backed state, identity, tools, skills, jobs, observability, and UI surfaces that all work together. Bring your own database, hosting provider, model stack, and app code.

// One action powers UI, agent, HTTP, MCP, A2A, and CLI.
export default defineAction({
  schema: z.object({
    emailId: z.string(),
    body: z.string(),
  }),
  run: async ({ emailId, body }) => {
    await db.insert(replies).values({ emailId, body });
  },
});

• Actions: Define work once. Use it from UI, agent, API, MCP, A2A, and CLI.
• Agent runtime: Chat, tools, skills, memory, jobs, observability, and handoffs ship together.
• Backend agnostic: Plug in any Drizzle-supported SQL database and Nitro-compatible host.

Agents and UIs, Fully Connected

The agent and the UI are equal citizens of one system. Every action works both ways: click it or ask for it.

• Everything syncs: One database, one state. Changes from either side show up instantly on the other.
• Real-time multiplayer: Humans and agents edit the same document together, with the agent as a first-class peer.
• Context-aware: The agent knows what you're looking at. Select text, hit Cmd+I, and tell it what to do.
• Agents call agents: Tag another agent from any app and they coordinate over A2A.
• Self-improving: The agent can add features, fix bugs, and refine the UI over time.

Templates

Start with a full featured template. Each one is a complete, 100% free and open-source SaaS app: cloneable, not scaffolded, except you own the code and can customize everything.

Calendar Agent-Native Google Calendar, Calendly Manage events, sync with Google Calendar, and share a public booking page with AI scheduling.	Content Open-source Obsidian for MDX Edit local Markdown/MDX files, generate rich interactive custom blocks, and draft, rewrite, or publish with an agent.	Plans Visual plan mode for coding agents Install /visual-plan and /visual-recap so your coding agent can plan before it builds and recap changes after they land. High-level code reviews with diagrams, wireframes, annotations, and review links.
Slides Agent-Native Google Slides, Pitch Generate and edit React-based presentations via prompt or point-and-click.	Analytics Agent-Native Amplitude, Mixpanel Connect analytics data sources, prompt for real charts, and build reusable dashboards.	Clips Agent-Native Loom Record your screen with auto-transcripts, shareable links, and an agent that summarizes, captions, and edits clips on demand.

Try it with a skill

Don't want to scaffold a whole app yet? Add visual planning and PR recaps to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot / VS Code, and similar agents with one command:

npx @agent-native/core@latest skills add visual-plan

You get two slash commands:

• /visual-plan: before the agent writes code, it opens a structured, reviewable plan with inline diagrams, UI wireframes, file-by-file implementation maps, and annotations you can comment on and approve.
• /visual-recap: after changes land, it turns a PR or git diff into a high-altitude visual recap with a shareable review link instead of a raw diff.

See the Skills Guide for more.

Quick Start

One command to start a new project locally.

npx @agent-native/core@latest create my-app
cd my-app
pnpm install
pnpm dev

create first asks how you want to start:

• Full template(s): clone one or more complete apps into a workspace. Pick Mail + Calendar + Forms and you get all three wired up and sharing auth.
• Chat: a single app with a minimal chat UI and the browser shell already wired, the simplest way to get a UI.
• Headless: a single action-first app with no UI shell. The CLI walks you through calling your first action and agent, and you can add a UI later.

Prefer flags? create my-app --template mail, --headless, or --standalone skip the prompt.

The Best of Both Worlds

	SaaS Tools	Raw AI Agents	Internal Tools	Agent-Native
UI	Polished but rigid	None	Mixed quality	Full UI, fork & go
AI	Bolted on	Powerful	Shallowly connected	Agent-first, integrated
Customization	Can't	Instructions and skills	Full, but high maintenance	Agent modifies the app
Ownership	Rented	Somewhat yours	You own the code	You own the code
