Convex Agents

A code-pattern skill for building stateful AI agents on Convex with threads, tools, streaming, RAG and multi-step workflows.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 404⑂ 33AI score 7/10Last updated: Sep 28, 2026

What it does

  • Shows how to set up an agent with the @convex-dev/agent component.
  • Provides thread management code (create, list, fetch messages) so chat history persists.
  • Covers tool definitions for function calling, token streaming to clients, and vector-search RAG.
  • Includes a multi-step research workflow (search → analyze → summarize), a full Convex schema with vectorIndex, and a React chat UI example.
  • Adds guardrails: never run npx convex deploy or git commands unprompted, plus a common-pitfalls list.

Who it's for

  • Full-stack developers using Convex as a backend who want to add AI chat or agents.
  • TypeScript/React teams prototyping streaming chat and retrieval-augmented answers.
  • Anyone needing durable, long-running agent workflows on serverless infrastructure.

Usage examples

  1. "Build a Convex chat backend with per-user conversation threads" → generates schema plus mutations/queries.
  2. "Give the agent tools to create tasks and search the knowledge base" → generates tool() definitions and an action with a system prompt.
  3. "Set up RAG: embed documents on insert and answer from vector search" → generates the vector index schema and search query.
