Background & analysis
A2UI is an open generative UI protocol that Google announced in late 2025. It lets agents respond not just with text but with full UI surfaces. On November 12, 2026, Google released A2UI 1.0, the protocol's first stable version. Developers can build on it using open source renderer SDKs for web, Android, and iOS, along with agent SDKs for Python, TypeScript, and Dart. The open source renderers can draw interfaces on the web with React, Angular, and Lit.
Google explains that within A2UI the agent describes the content to display, while each application renders the UI with its own native components. Whether an agent is embedded in a company's own application or reached through a third-party AI assistant that hosts MCP apps, such as Gemini or Claude, the experience should offer low latency, high trust, and full native fidelity. A2UI 1.0 also adds bidirectional function calls and extended support for accessibility and extra metadata. Companies including Atlassian, Alation, Bloomberg, and ByteDance have already started building with it. The protocol positions itself as a shared grammar for agentic interfaces, letting teams ship AI-driven UI without rewriting their rendering stack for each agent.
