Streamlit UI

We provide a Streamlit UI implementing a WebSocket client to communicate with the agent.

This is how our agent UI looks like:

How to use it

You can run it directly from the agent, by setting it in the websocket_platform:

agent = Agent('example_agent')
...
websocket_platform = agent.use_websocket_platform(use_ui=True)

Or you can also run it separately. Just open a terminal on the streamlit UI directory, and run:

streamlit run --server.address localhost --server.port 5000 streamlit_ui.py agent_name localhost 8765

Enabling session persistence

To enable session persistence when using the Streamlit UI, you first need to have the monitoring database running and configured in your agent. Secondly, you’ll need to configure a streamlit database connection in the agent configuration file with the properties described in Streamlit_Database. Note that, the streamlit database and monitoring database can be the same.

Finally, you need to set the authenticate_users=True parameter when initializing the WebSocket platform:

   agent = Agent('example_agent', persist_sessions=True)
   ...
   websocket_platform = agent.use_websocket_platform(use_ui=True, authenticate_users=True)


This allows the platform to authenticate users and maintain their sessions across agent restarts.
