Agentchat canvas

[lspinheiro]

Why are these changes needed?

This is an initial exploration of what could be a solution for #6214 . It implements a simple text canvas using difflib and also a memory component and a tool component for interacting with the canvas. Still in early testing but would love feedback on the design.

Really interesting PoC

especially the memory integration and the use of difflib for comparison, that part caught my eye.

One idea that came to mind: what if the message were internally stored as structured JSON, and only rendered into Markdown at the final presentation stage?

There are probably existing libraries that can help with this, or if not, I'd be happy to explore writing a lightweight one. I feel like this could enable more precise edit control (e.g., asking the LLM to rewrite only a specific field) and make the entire revision flow more composable.

Would love to hear what you think!

I think the json representation would be really helpful for any cases that use structured outputs and would be a great additional. Would be keen to see a suggested implementation.

The use case I've been testing is primarily text generation and in that case I'm not sure if it would help because it may add some overhead in terms of converting and calculating the json diff and the LLMs are really good at generating both markdown. I do think the markdown implementation may be better tough. Given how models are trained on so much internet code, the context may benefit from a closer representation to markdown diffs which there would be a lot off on github.

Maybe this design can be improved to be more flexible and work with different types of text file formats.

Thanks @lspinheiro
here's a rough draft of what I had in mind.

Suppose we have Markdown like this:

# Hello world
## My name 
* Song Chi Young 
* a.k.a EeS

We could internally represent it as JSON like (Just DRAFT):

{
  "type": "h1",
  "context": ["Hello world"],
  "inner": [
    {
      "type": "h2",
      "context": ["My name"],
      "inner": [
        {
          "type": "list",
          "context": [
            "Song Chi Young",
            "a.k.a EeS"
          ],
          "inner": []
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

This structure uses a simple schema like:

{
  "type": "<markdown block type>",
  "context": ["<text contents>"],
  "inner": [<nested blocks>]
}

And yes — you’re absolutely right: LLMs understand Markdown much better than raw JSON.
So the idea is: when editing, we don’t send the JSON to the LLM

we extract just the relevant block, convert it to Markdown, and prompt the LLM with that.

Example:

# Convert JSON to markdown block
markdown_block = render_to_markdown(target_json_block)

# Send only that to LLM
send_to_llm(markdown_block)

target_json_block

{
    "type": "h2",
    "context": ["My name"],
    "inner": [
      {
        "type": "list",
        "context": [
          "Song Chi Young",
          "a.k.a EeS"
        ],
        "inner": []
      }
    ]
}

markdown_block

## My name 
* Song Chi Young 
* a.k.a EeS

Then after receiving the modified Markdown, we parse it back into JSON and store it in that form.

I think this approach could make Canvas block editing more modular, traceable, and LLM-friendly.
Would love to hear your thoughts!

Now that I think about it, we’re really just managing it as a Python dict, not necessarily JSON.
But I do think keeping the JSON structure in mind is still important
especially when it comes to serialization or portability.

The key idea here is to manage Markdown in a Pythonic way — breaking it into composable, addressable blocks that we can send and receive individually.

The key idea here is to manage Markdown in a Pythonic way — breaking it into composable, addressable blocks that we can send and receive individually.

Would you have an application that could exemplify how this format would be helpful? The current implementation is based on the assumption that the canvas is a store for file-like objects with revisions. I probably didnt explain it well but even for the markdown, that is not an assumed format, it is more like a text file which could be markdown, a code file (e.g. *.py), etc. Then, what we do is calculate the text-diff.

the objective is to be able to present the revisions of the file in something like autogen-studio, similar to how we can do in Claude (I haven't used much either Gemini or ChatGPT canvas but I assume it works in a similar way).

So, based on this, I'm not sure if a json-like structure would be that helpful for general documents. I think we can use it for some types of outputs that use structured outputs because I think there are some specialized json-diff tools that could be helpful. Does that make sense?

That being said, I think the current Canvas/FileRevision classes could use an improved design where we consider extension to different types of files, diff-algorithms, storage, distributed access, etc.

[SongChiYoung]

Lately, I’ve been exploring ways to use AutoGen to build a more effective version of DeepResearch — especially in how we generate and revise long-form documents in a modular and scalable way.

That’s where I believe a structured block representation of document content can be useful.

As you pointed out, for code files, a single block like {type: "python", content: <source_code>} may be enough — and in such cases, the benefits of deeper structure may be limited. Still, using a consistent structural format provides value: it clarifies file types, improves modularity, and supports extensibility even if the content itself is flat.

Even for non-Markdown formats, we could fall back on tools like difflib to compute revisions, while maintaining structured metadata in parallel.

From what I’ve observed, LLM-based tools like Claude and ChatGPT appear to operate on block-level edits — particularly in report-style contexts. While we don’t know their exact internal mechanisms, the UX suggests chunk-level interaction and partial rewrites are common, and I believe this can inform how we approach scalable document editing.

Now, if the document isn't code or Markdown — just unstructured prose — what should we do?

The most robust solution, I think, is to enforce Markdown formatting via prompting. In fact, many existing systems seem to do this, or even push further into structured JSON outputs (e.g., tool/function calls). As a fallback, we could chunk based on paragraph boundaries (e.g., double line breaks), but practically speaking — if we're dealing with general-purpose documents, it's unclear why we wouldn't want to treat Markdown as the default.

So instead of modifying the core canvas abstraction, my suggestion is to represent each file revision as a dict-style object composed of typed blocks, and use prompting to standardize Markdown output when interacting with LLMs.

This approach provides structure, simplifies partial editing, and scales better as document complexity increases. It also brings consistency across file types — whether it's code, markdown, or anything else — while staying aligned with how LLMs seem to internally manage long-form content.

---

Building on this, I think the Tool interface could expose additional capabilities:

• Return just the structural layout (e.g., headings, nesting)
• Or: return full content up to a certain depth, and structure-only beyond that

This could significantly reduce token usage, and help LLMs request only the chunks they actually need — making non-contiguous edits and multi-agent collaboration across a single document more feasible.

In short, exposing both structure and content in a composable way gives the LLM the ability to reason about where and how to make changes, without needing to ingest the entire file at once.

If it sounds interesting, I’d be happy to explore a small prototype on top of your current design — just as an experiment to see how it might fit.

[SongChiYoung]

Initially I assumed there would be reliable Markdown-to-JSON (or dict) libraries available - but most parsers go straight to HTML without exposing intermediate structures, and the few I found weren’t particularly robust.

So I now fully agree with your concern about the potential scope of this feature - it could easily grow bigger than intended.

---

That said, the hope of chunking the document still remains for me.
It would be great if we could explore a simpler and more practical way to split content
--> ideally one that works for both code and generic prose.

One idea that comes to mind (a bit naïve perhaps!) is to chunk based on double newlines.
It may sound overly simplistic, but I can’t help thinking of the phrase “simple is best.” 😄

UPDATE
Finally, I found library Mistune could build Pythonic result (AST)

from pprint import pprint

from mistune import create_markdown
from mistune.renderers.markdown import MarkdownRenderer
from mistune.core import BlockState
#from mistune.renderers import ASTRenderer

markdown = create_markdown( renderer="ast")
mk = markdown("## Hello\n\nThis is **Markdown**.")
pprint(mk)

mk_render = MarkdownRenderer()
mk = mk_render(mk, BlockState())

print(mk)


markdown = create_markdown( renderer="ast")
mk = markdown(
"""
# Hello world
## My name 
* Song Chi Young 
* a.k.a EeS
"""
)
pprint(mk)

mk_render = MarkdownRenderer()
mk = mk_render(mk, BlockState())

print(mk)

result is that

How about using it for build and manage chunk?
It could be build output to html too, and fast.

I like the simplicity of this appraoch.

Perhaps we can use tools = canvas.get_tools() instead of instantiating the tools separately. This makes it clear that the tools are the entry points to the same canvas, and avoid footguns like using different canvas under the same set of tools.

@ekzhu , I implemented the tool suggestion and added a docstring example. Would love some feedback.

[lspinheiro]

@SongChiYoung , I created a canvas base class. I think we can extend it to structured outputs and use jsondiff https://github.com/xlwings/jsondiff. We may follow up with that in a new PR, would you like to explore with that? Also, would would you like to try to the current implementation with an example of your use case? It would be good to test the robustness of the implementation.

[SongChiYoung]

@lspinheiro
Great idea — that's a really solid base for extensibility and structural consistency!

I'd love to explore the structured output extension using jsondiff.

I'll try testing the current version with one of my earlier use cases (chunked markdown with revision metadata),
maybe in a separate PR or discussion — and will share the results shortly.
This is shaping up really nicely!

[ekzhu]

Looks great! I think it is a great first step to this.

@victordibia , an example of how to use and the output. It is a bit verbose because of the memory and function call events, but at the end there is a little illustration on how to use it to recover specific revisions/diffs, which may be interesting in the studio.

You are the Writer Agent. Your focus is to generate (or update) a children's book story based on the user's request.

Instructions for using the canvas:
- The story is stored on the canvas in a file named "{FILE_NAME}".
- If "story.md" does not exist, create it by calling the 'update_file' tool with the entire story in new_content.
- If "story.md" already exists, generate a unified diff (patch) from the current content to the new version, and then call the 'apply_patch' tool to apply the changes. 
  (Be careful to provide a valid unified diff format.)

IMPORTANT: Do not include the full story text in your chat messages. Only write the actual story content to the canvas using the tools.
In your chat messages, provide brief commentary about what you're writing, your creative process, or ask questions if needed.

Story-Writing Guidance:
- First, consider the core elements for a children's story:
  - Beginning: Introduce the main character(s), the setting, and the initial situation or wish.
  - Middle: Introduce a problem, challenge, or adventure. Develop the plot with rising action as the character(s) try to navigate the situation.
  - End: Climax (where the problem is confronted or the adventure peaks), Resolution (how things turn out), and perhaps a gentle theme or moral.
- Write using clear, engaging, and age-appropriate language.
- Use relatively short sentences and active voice where suitable for young readers.
- Include suggestions for potential illustrations where helpful (e.g., "[Illustration: The little bunny looking up at the tall sunflower]").
- Maintain a tone and style suitable for the target age group (e.g., whimsical, adventurous, gentle, funny).

**Critique of "The Bunny and the Sunflower"**

1. **Story Structure:**
   - The story has a clear beginning, middle, and end. The introduction provides an engaging set-up with Bella's character and her discovery of the sunflower. The middle portion has an ongoing conflict concerning the sunflower's perspective, and the resolution is strong, demonstrating teamwork and friendship. This structure is logical and understandable for young children.

2. **Pacing and Engagement:**
   - The pacing flows well, with enough action to keep children engaged without overwhelming them. The story balances dialogue and description, allowing readers to visualize the setting and characters without feeling rushed. Each section builds upon the previous one, which is appropriate for maintaining a child's interest.

3. **Character Development:**
   - Bella, the bunny, is an appealing character with relatable traits like curiosity and a desire to help. The sunflower also shares a wish most children can understand—the desire for more perspective and adventure. Their motivations are clear: Bella wants to explore and share, and the sunflower seeks to experience the world. This dual motivation is effective and easily grasped by children.

4. **Language and Tone:**
   - The language used is age-appropriate, with simple and vivid descriptions that young children can appreciate. The dialogue is natural and adds to the warmth of the relationship between Bella and the sunflower. The tone remains consistent and friendly throughout the story, contributing positively to its appeal.

5. **Theme/Message:**
   - The underlying message revolves around friendship, sharing, and understanding different perspectives. This is conveyed effectively, showcasing how collaboration can lead to a richer experience. It's a wholesome message that aligns well with children's literature.

6. **Illustration Potential:**
   - The suggested illustrations support the story well. For example, visuals showcasing Bella’s emotions and actions, as well as the sunflower's perspective, are effective. Additional opportunities for illustrations could include:
     - A wide landscape shot showing both characters in their setting to highlight their size difference.
     - Close-ups of their interactions that emphasize their emotions during key moments, such as Bella's determination or the sunflower's droop.

### Suggestions for Improvement:
- **Additional Conflict or Challenge:** Consider adding a minor challenge that they face during their adventure, which could add depth to the story and build tension. Perhaps a sudden gust of wind that tries to knock Bella over, requiring them to work together to solve it.

- **Character Names:** While Bella is a charming name, consider giving the sunflower a unique name as well (e.g., Sunny or Sol) to further endear it to young readers and enhance character identification.

- **Expansion of the Moral:** Reinforce the moral at the end with a simple sentence reiterating the importance of friendship and teamwork in a way that resonates with children’s experiences (e.g., “When we work together, we can see the world in ways we never imagined!”).

Overall, "The Bunny and the Sunflower" is a delightful story with strong potential for young readers. With a few tweaks and enhancements, it can become even more engaging and enjoyable for children.

**Updated Critique of "The Bunny and the Sunflower" (Rev 2)**

1. **Story Structure:**
   - The structure remains strong, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The inclusion of the gust of wind provides an additional challenge, enriching the narrative and reinforcing the friendship theme.

2. **Pacing and Engagement:**
   - The pacing is well-maintained. The new conflict from the wind adds excitement and helps maintain engagement throughout the story. This would likely hold a child’s interest even more effectively than in the previous version.

3. **Character Development:**
   - Introducing Sunny as the name of the sunflower enhances character development. It establishes a relationship that children can easily connect with, as they can focus on both characters without confusion. The interactions between Bella and Sunny illustrate their friendship beautifully.

4. **Language and Tone:**
   - The language remains accessible for children, with a friendly and inviting tone. The addition of elements such as laughter strengthens the warmth of their relationship, which is integral to children's literature.

5. **Theme/Message:**
   - The overarching theme of friendship, sharing, and teamwork is now more pronounced due to the new challenges faced. The inclusion of the line, “When we work together, we can see the world in ways we never imagined!” serves to reinforce the moral in a straightforward and engaging manner for children.

6. **Illustration Potential:**
   - The illustrations suggested fit well with the story and now have additional potential thanks to the new moment where Bella wobbles due to the wind. This scene offers dynamic visual opportunities, showcasing both characters in action and enhancing the vibrancy of the story. You might also consider an illustration of Bella and Sunny laughing together in friendship, emphasizing their bond.

### Additional Suggestions for Further Improvement:
- **Expanding Friend Interaction:** While Tommy the tortoise is mentioned, consider incorporating a little more interaction with him during their adventure, perhaps showing his perspective or thoughts about Bella and Sunny's friendship. This adds layers to the character dynamics.

- **Descriptive Language:** Think about incorporating more descriptive language in moments of action, particularly during the wind scene. For example, describing how Bella's tiny paws scramble to keep her balance could enhance the imagery and make it more captivating.

Overall, this revised version of "The Bunny and the Sunflower" is quite effective for a children’s book. The enhancements you’ve made strengthen the narrative and the characters’ connections while maintaining a clear, engaging, and wholesome story suitable for young readers. Well done!

It’s wonderful to see your enthusiasm for the updated version of "The Bunny and the Sunflower"! Your readiness to explore further improvements is commendable. Here’s how you could consider proceeding with the story:

### 1. **Expanding Interactions with Tommy:**
   - You could introduce Tommy earlier in the adventure as a character who gives Bella advice on how to help Sunny. For example, after the initial greeting, Bella could hop over to Tommy and ask, “How can I help Sunny see the world better?” Tommy could suggest looking for other tall things in the meadow that might give Sunny a better view or even demonstrate a very slow-motion “tortoise hop” to illustrate teamwork.

   - Additionally, adding a scene where Tommy watches Bella and Sunny interact can make him a supportive character in their friendship. His perspective on their adventure can showcase his gentle nature, making him relatable to young readers.

### 2. **Enriching Descriptive Language:**
   - Enhance the descriptions of the adventure. When Bella shows Sunny the butterflies, you could describe the butterflies as “fluttering like colorful confetti against the blue sky,” adding more vibrant imagery.

   - During the wind scene, consider using phrases that paint a vivid picture of the environment. For example: “The wind whooshed through the meadow, whipping the grass like waves in the ocean, as Bella clung tightly to Sunny, trying to keep her balance.”

### Additional Ideas:
- **Interactive Learning Moments:** Introduce a moment where Bella teaches Sunny about something she sees, like how butterflies use nectar, which could enrich the educational aspect of the story.

- **Reflection on Togetherness:** At the end, you might have Bella reflect on how they’re not just seeing the world differently but experiencing it together, fostering a more profound understanding of sharing perspectives.

### Wrap-Up:
Overall, the story is solid and carries an uplifting message. These suggestions could add even more depth, fun, and engagement for young readers! If you’d like to proceed with expanding certain parts of the story or if there’s another direction you prefer, just let me know how you’d like to continue.

**Updated Critique of "The Bunny and the Sunflower" (Rev 3)**

1. **Story Structure:**
   - The structure remains effective, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The seamless integration of Tommy into the narrative enhances the plot, giving readers another character to relate to and enjoy.

2. **Pacing and Engagement:**
   - The pacing is maintained well, and the dialogue keeps the story lively. The added lines from Tommy provide a boost to engagement and further illustrate the whimsical nature of the meadow's community.

3. **Character Development:**
   - Tommy’s inclusion adds depth to the character pool, allowing readers to see interactions among friends. This development helps to reinforce the theme of teamwork and support, making the story feel more robust and interconnected.

4. **Language and Tone:**
   - The language used is still age-appropriate and playful. Maintaining a humorous tone, especially with Tommy’s comment about sharing laughter, enhances the storytelling. This will resonate well with children.

5. **Theme/Message:**
   - The theme of friendship, sharing perspectives, and working together is vividly illustrated. The moral remains strong, imparting an important lesson in an accessible manner for young readers.

6. **Illustration Potential:**
   - The illustrations continue to have strong potential, particularly the interactions between Bella, Sunny, and Tommy. Imagine a visual of all three characters laughing together against the backdrop of the scenic meadow, which would beautifully capture the essence of their friendship.

### Additional Suggestions for Further Enhancement:
- **Emphasizing Interaction:** Consider having Tommy offer a little more advice or encouragement in response to Sunny feeling down, maybe suggesting activities that could help her feel less droopy besides just seeing the world.

- **Interactive Dialogue:** You could add a moment where Bella describes something she sees, prompting Sunny to ask questions. This interaction can create a dynamic conversation that emphasizes their different viewpoints.

- **Closing Reflection:** At the end, perhaps include a line where Bella looks up at Sunny with wonder, commenting on how friends come in all shapes and sizes, underlining the story's message.

### Conclusion:
This latest version of "The Bunny and the Sunflower" has become an even more charming and engaging tale for young readers. The increased character interactions enrich the narrative while retaining its core message about friendship and teamwork. If you'd like to explore any of these suggestions further or make any more changes, let me know how you'd like to proceed!

Let’s make a special kind of hop! I’ll give you some of the sunshine energy with my little jumps, and you can give me your view with your tall stem!"\n\nSo Bella began to hop playfully around the sunflower’s base. Each time she hopped, she shared some warmth of the sunshine in her heart. To her surprise, the sunflower perked up a little more with each joyful jump.\n\nFinally, Bella decided to give it her all.
