LangChain provides a powerful prebuilt user interface that work seamlessly with agents created using create_agent(). This UI is designed to provide rich, interactive experiences for your agents with minimal setup, whether you’re running locally or in a deployed context (such as LangGraph Platform).

Agent Chat UI

Agent Chat UI is a Next.js application that provides a conversational interface for interacting with any LangChain agent. It supports real-time chat, tool visualization, and advanced features like time-travel debugging and state forking. Agent Chat UI is open source and can be adapted to your application needs.

Features

​
Quick start

The fastest way to get started is using the hosted version:
  1. Visit Agent Chat UI
  2. Connect your agent by entering your deployment URL or local server address
  3. Start chatting - the UI will automatically detect and render tool calls and interrupts

​
Local development

For customization or local development, you can run Agent Chat UI locally: 
# Create a new Agent Chat UI project
npx create-agent-chat-app my-chat-ui
cd my-chat-ui

# Install dependencies and start
pnpm install
pnpm dev

​
Connect to your agent

Agent Chat UI can connect to both local and deployed agents. After starting Agent Chat UI, you’ll need to configure it to connect to your agent:
  1. Graph ID: Enter your graph name (find this under graphs in your langgraph.json file)
  2. Deployment URL: Your LangGraph server’s endpoint (e.g., http://localhost:2024 for local development, or your deployed agent’s URL)
  3. LangSmith API key (optional): Add your LangSmith API key (not required if you’re using a local LangGraph server)
Once configured, Agent Chat UI will automatically fetch and display any interrupted threads from your agent.
Agent Chat UI has out-of-the-box support for rendering tool calls and tool result messages. To customize what messages are shown, see Hiding Messages in the Chat.
