He’s just released version 2 of Flue, its first stable release, which has as its foundation React-style “Agent Hooks.”In Flue, an agent is represented by a JavaScript function. This function “re-renders on every turn,” meaning before every model call.The addition of hooks came after Schott realized that React’s composability would be a great fit for agent development.“I originally tweeted that we were building the Astro for agents or the Next.js for agents,” he told us. “But then I realized: maybe no one has even built the React for agents.”Editor’s Note: we last talked about the React for Agents with Bret Taylor, CEO of Sierra and Chairman of OpenAI:“We’re still trying to figure out who the reactive agents are and the jury is still out… We’re sort of in the jQuery era of agents, not the react era.” Hooks are authored in TypeScript. According to the Flue 2 launch post, they “let you build dynamic agents that can manage their own state, listen to agent lifecycle events, and even attach different resources and capabilities dynamically to enhance themselves at runtime.”There are 16 built-in hooks in Flue 2, including useSkill(), useTool(), useSubagent().
