Overview
The AI Agent Application is a progressive web app (PWA) that serves as the primary interface for interacting with AI agents that have access to external tools and services through MCP servers. Unlike simple chatbots, this application enables agents to take actions in the real world - managing emails, creating tasks, scheduling events, and more.
The application runs on Cloud Run and provides a responsive, mobile-friendly interface that works offline and can be installed as a standalone app on any device.
Current Features
Multi-Backend Support
- Provider Flexibility: Switch between AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) without changing interface
- Adapter Pattern: Standardized adapter layer for easy integration of new providers
- Configuration Management: Per-agent provider settings and API key management
Progressive Web App Capabilities
- Offline Support: Service workers enable offline functionality
- Installable: Add to home screen on mobile and desktop

Conversation Management
- Persistent History: All conversations saved with search functionality
- Context Preservation: Maintain context across sessions
- Export/Import: Download conversation transcripts
- Organization: Tag and categorize conversations
Security & Privacy
- Local Credential Storage: API keys encrypted and stored locally
- Secure Communication: HTTPS-only with certificate pinning
- Session Management: Automatic logout and token refresh
- User Authentication: OAuth integration for multi-user scenarios (planned)

Future Vision
The long-term goal is to make this the primary interface for interacting with AI agents that can accomplish real-world tasks. The application will evolve from a chat interface into a comprehensive agent orchestration platform where users can:
- Design and deploy custom agents
- Monitor agent activities across multiple tools
- Collaborate with both human and AI team members
- Build workflows that combine human and agent capabilities
