build AI agents with Convex

Covers RAG Search Agents Engineering

Description

Build an AI agent / RAG feature on Convex (@convex-dev/agent: threads, tools, vector search). TRIGGER on an AI-agent/chatbot/RAG request.

Install @convex-dev/agent for durable threads, message history, tool-calls, and vector search/RAG — the backend for an in-app AI agent.

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.

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.
