Overview

Agents

AI-aware

DRYL.Components.Agents is a separate, experimental companion package (0.6.0) that bridges the Microsoft Agent Framework to DRYL's AI vocabulary. You bring your own AIAgent; DRYL wires the run to the UI — automatic AiState, structured streaming, a live tool-call trace, interactive canvas artifacts and ready-made human-in-the-loop dialogs. The core library stays dependency-free; the LLM SDK lives only here.

Demos on these pages are simulated

Most examples run with a scripted stand-in for the model — no API key, no network, no LLM. In your app you pass a real AIAgent to the very same calls. Tool calls and dialogs are real: the Agent Framework invokes them for you, so the DRYL dialogs pop up live.

Install

A NuGet-only companion package, registered alongside the core.

bash

dotnet add package DRYL.Components.Agents

csharp

// Program.cs — alongside the core registration
builder.Services.AddDrylComponents().AddDrylAgents();

// One provider in your root layout (required by the tool dialogs):
// <DrylDialogProvider />

Explore the package

Each capability has its own page — with what it is for, how it works, where the innovation lies, and a live demo.

Agent Run

Wrap a run: automatic AiState + a live tool-call trace, zero manual state.

Structured Generation

DrylAiGenerate<T> — JSON streams straight into live Blazor components.

AI Field

DrylAiField — make any input AI-capable in one line, without touching it.

Display Tools

Hand the agent charts, stats & timelines — it answers with live components.

Human-in-the-Loop

Ready-made dialog AIFunctions — the agent asks the user and waits.

AI Canvas

DrylAiCanvas — the AI answers with an interactive artifact bound to your data and commands, and the user can take it apart by hand.

Canvas Dock

Floating prompt dock — one input, one line of live status, a context chip for the selected element, the transcript on demand, Actions and Suggestions slots for the host's own controls and prompt chips, and a microphone that turns the dock into a voice panel.

Voice

Speak to your agent — a WebRTC realtime session with the same tools, the same conversation and no audio through your server.

Multi-Agent Handoff

Chain agents into one run — a living handoff timeline with a baton.

Collaborative Build

StartBuild — agent and user refine a typed artifact round by round.

Run Health

Error surfacing with retry + token-usage badges from the stream.
