For AI Agents
Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Installs with a ReUI Pro or Ultimate license.
Best for: A reply's evidence with no run controls: numbered sources with publisher logos, repo files with line counts and a confidence badge
When to use
- A live step feed of one agent run that the person who started it can approve, pause or stop
- The research trail behind an answer: the search query, numbered sources, repo files and confidence
- A record of what a run touched and settled: MCP calls per server, refused scopes and failed items
When not to use
- A plain vertical sequence of steps or events with no search, sources or answer: use the Timeline component
- A docs help sidebar that reads knowledge base articles before it writes an answer: use the Docs Support Assistant block
- Operator pages across many runs: a run queue, an approval inbox or tool access settings: use the Agents blocks
- The conversation around the run: the message thread, the prompt composer and the replies: use the AI Chat blocks
- A dated history of what people did, such as activity feeds, milestones or release notes: use the Timeline blocks
