DurableAgent is now WorkflowAgent

WorkflowAgent from AI SDK v7

Use AI SDK v7's WorkflowAgent for durable agents in Workflow 5. It replaces DurableAgent and keeps the current agent pattern in the AI SDK package.

  • Import WorkflowAgent from @ai-sdk/workflow and run it inside a "use workflow" function.
  • Pass "spacexai/grok-4.6" as a plain model string so AI SDK routes requests through Vercel AI Gateway.
  • Stream ModelCallStreamPart chunks with getWritable(), then convert the run stream to UI message chunks with createModelCallToUIChunkTransform() in your route.
  • Mark tool execute functions with "use step" when they should run as durable workflow steps with retry and observability behavior.
import { WorkflowAgent, type ModelCallStreamPart } from "@ai-sdk/workflow";
import { getWritable } from "workflow";

export async function agentWorkflow(prompt: string) {
  "use workflow";

  const agent = new WorkflowAgent({
    model: "spacexai/grok-4.6",
    instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.",
  });

  return agent.stream({
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: prompt }],
    writable: getWritable<ModelCallStreamPart>(),
  });
}

DurableAgent is deprecated and remains documented for existing code only. See the migration guide, or the DurableAgent API reference while migrating.
