Add an AI agent / RAG backend (@convex-dev/agent) to the Convex app.
Add an AI agent / RAG backend
Install @convex-dev/agent for durable threads, message history, tool-calls, and vector search/RAG — the backend for an in-app AI agent.
Workflow
Install @convex-dev/agent + add to convex.config.ts.
Define the agent (model, tools, instructions); store the LLM key via the env micro power.
Create threads + stream messages; persist history in Convex.
For RAG: embed docs into a vector index and retrieve in the tool.
Rules
Keep the LLM API key in Convex env (use the env micro power), never client-side.
Run model calls in actions ('use node' if the SDK needs it).
Persist threads/messages in Convex for durability + reactivity.don't have the plugin yet? install it then click "run inline in claude" again.
