AUI Products

AUI provides a family of products for building and integrating AI agents:

API

Integrate AI agents into your product and manage them programmatically. Send messages via REST or stream replies token-by-token over server-sent events, receive structured responses, and operate projects, agents, and versions — ready for web, mobile, or backend use.

SDK

The official TypeScript/JavaScript client (@aui.io/aui-client) — type-safe methods, automatic retries, and built-in streaming.

CLI

Develop agents locally with the apollo CLI. Edit typed YAML programs with schema support, validate instantly, test against the live runtime, and push versions to the cloud.

Agent Builder API

Programmatically create and manage agents. Define knowledge, tools, behavior, and guardrails through a simple API — fully customizable and scalable.

Start from the Playground

The fastest way to experience AUI is through the Playground — no code required.

Open the Playground

Go to apollo.aui.io and log in with your AUI account.

Select an agent

Choose an existing agent or create a new one to start a conversation.

Chat

Send messages and see the agent respond in real time. Test how it handles different intents, activates tools, and follows rules.

Go to code

When you’re ready to integrate, exchange your publishable key for an access token and send the same messages programmatically:

cURL

# 1. Exchange your publishable key for an access token
curl -X POST "https://api-v3.aui.io/apollo-api/management/v1/auth/token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "grant_type": "publishable_key", "publishable_key": "pk_..." }'

# 2. Send a message — a conversation thread is created automatically
curl -X POST "https://api-v3.aui.io/apollo-api/messaging/v1/messages" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
  -d '{
    "text": "I need help finding a product",
    "user_id": "my-user-123"
  }'
