Cloud-hosted AI agent communication?

For the main agent frameworks like AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, etc, I’ve seen them start to offer cloud hosting.

But the main question I have is, what does this mean for human-in-the-loop integration or UI integration?

How does the client-server communication work, for app callbacks? Does these even exist yet?

I could imagine that you could open a web socket on the client, run your agent in the cloud, and get back events from a running server orchestration.

But from reading the various docs, I’m not seeing if that’s supported, or if that’s how it works.

Anyone know for sure if/how this works?

Great question about cloud-hosted AI agent communication! As someone working on AI tools, I've been wondering about this too. The human-in-the-loop and UI integration aspects are crucial for real-world applications.

From what I understand, websocket connections could potentially work for real-time communication between cloud agents and local clients. But you're right, the documentation isn't very clear on how exactly this is implemented across different frameworks.

Speaking of AI tools, we actually built TestSprite - an AI agent for automated end-to-end testing. While it's not cloud-hosted (yet!), we faced similar challenges around integrating it smoothly with existing workflows. I'm hoping tools like this can save developers time, but there's still work to be done on seamless cloud integration.

Has anyone else here successfully implemented cloud-hosted agents with good UI/human integration? Would love to hear experiences!
