Daydreams - AI Agent Framework

Notice: This agent framework is no longer the core focus as features are already obsolete.

The Daydreams core focus is on Agentic Commerce and not the agent harness.

Check out the lucid-agents repo: https://github.com/daydreamsai/lucid-agents

We recommend the Pi agent harness for building agents and incorporating lucid-agents in it.

Finally, TypeScript agents that scale and compose

🎯 The Problem Every AI Developer Faces

You build an AI agent. It works great in testing. Then you need to add more features and...

❌ Context switching breaks existing functionality
❌ State management becomes a nightmare
❌ Memory doesn't persist across sessions
❌ Code becomes a tangled mess of prompts and logic

Sound familiar? You're not alone. This is why most AI agents never make it to production.

⚡ The Solution: Composable Context Architecture

Daydreams is the first AI framework with composable contexts - isolated workspaces that combine for complex behaviors. Build agents that remember, learn, and scale with true memory, MCP integration, and TypeScript-first design.

🌐 Dreams Router - Universal AI Gateway

Access any AI model through one API with built-in authentication and payments:

import { dreamsRouter } from "@daydreamsai/ai-sdk-provider";

// Use any model from any provider
const models = [
  dreamsRouter("openai/gpt-4o"),
  dreamsRouter("anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"),
  dreamsRouter("google-vertex/gemini-2.5-flash"),
  dreamsRouter("groq/llama-3.1-405b-reasoning"),
];

// Pay-per-use with USDC micropayments (no subscriptions)
const { dreamsRouter } = await createDreamsRouterAuth(account, {
  payments: { amount: "100000", network: "base-sepolia" }, // $0.10 per request
});

Features:

• Universal Access - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, xAI, and more
• x402 Payments - Pay-per-use with USDC micropayments
• OpenAI Compatible - Works with existing OpenAI SDK clients
• Automatic Fallbacks - Built-in provider redundancy

🌟 The Power of Context Composition

Unlike other frameworks, Daydreams lets you compose contexts using .use() - creating powerful agents from modular components:

import { createDreams, context, action } from "@daydreamsai/core";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

// Base analytics context - tracks user behavior
const analyticsContext = context({
  type: "analytics",
  create: () => ({ events: [], sessions: 0 }),
}).setActions([
  action({
    name: "trackEvent",
    schema: { event: z.string() },
    handler: async ({ event }, ctx) => {
      ctx.memory.events.push({ event, timestamp: Date.now() });
      return { tracked: true };
    },
  }),
]);

// Customer support context that composes with analytics
const supportContext = context({
  type: "support",
  schema: z.object({
    customerId: z.string(),
    tier: z.enum(["free", "premium"]),
  }),
  create: () => ({ tickets: [] }),
})
  // 🌟 The magic: compose contexts together
  .use((state) => [
    { context: analyticsContext, args: { userId: state.args.customerId } },
    // Conditional composition based on customer tier
    ...(state.args.tier === "premium" ? [{ context: premiumContext }] : []),
  ])
  .instructions(
    (state) =>
      `You are a ${state.args.tier} customer support agent. Track all interactions.`
  );

// Agent automatically gets ALL composed functionality
const agent = createDreams({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  contexts: [supportContext],
});

// Customer gets support + analytics + premium features (if applicable)
await agent.send({
  context: supportContext,
  args: { customerId: "alice", tier: "premium" },
  input: "I need help with billing",
});

Result: Your agent seamlessly combines customer support, analytics tracking, and premium features in a single conversation. No manual integration required.

🔌 Universal MCP Integration

Connect to any Model Context Protocol server for instant access to external tools:

import { createMcpExtension } from "@daydreamsai/mcp";

const agent = createDreams({
  extensions: [
    createMcpExtension([
      {
        id: "filesystem",
        transport: {
          type: "stdio",
          command: "npx",
          args: ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "./docs"],
        },
      },
      {
        id: "database",
        transport: {
          type: "stdio",
          command: "npx",
          args: ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-sqlite", "./data.db"],
        },
      },
    ]),
  ],
});

// Use MCP tools in any action
const searchAction = action({
  name: "search-docs",
  handler: async ({ query }, ctx) => {
    // Read files via MCP
    const docs = await ctx.callAction("mcp.listResources", {
      serverId: "filesystem",
    });

    // Query database via MCP
    const results = await ctx.callAction("mcp.callTool", {
      serverId: "database",
      name: "query",
      arguments: { sql: `SELECT * FROM docs WHERE content LIKE '%${query}%'` },
    });

    return { docs, results };
  },
});

Result: Your agent instantly gets file system access, database querying, web scraping, 3D rendering, and more through the growing MCP ecosystem.

🚀 Get Your Agent Running in 60 Seconds

npm install @daydreamsai/core @ai-sdk/openai zod

import { createDreams, context, action } from "@daydreamsai/core";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { z } from "zod";

// Define a simple weather context
const weatherContext = context({
  type: "weather",
  create: () => ({ lastQuery: null }),
}).setActions([
  action({
    name: "getWeather",
    schema: z.object({ city: z.string() }),
    handler: async ({ city }, ctx) => {
      ctx.memory.lastQuery = city;
      // Your weather API logic here
      return { weather: `Sunny, 72°F in ${city}` };
    },
  }),
]);

// Create your agent
const agent = createDreams({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  contexts: [weatherContext],
});

// Start chatting!
await agent.send({
  context: weatherContext,
  input: "What's the weather in San Francisco?",
});

That's it! Your agent is running with persistent memory and type-safe actions.

🏗️ Core Architecture

Context System

Isolated stateful workspaces for different conversation types:

const userContext = context({
  type: "user",
  schema: z.object({ userId: z.string() }),
  create: () => ({ preferences: {}, history: [] }),
  render: (state) =>
    `User: ${state.args.userId} | History: ${state.memory.history.length} items`,
});

Memory System

Dual-tier storage with automatic persistence:

• Working Memory: Temporary execution state (inputs, outputs, actions)
• Context Memory: Persistent data defined by your create() function

Action System

Type-safe functions with context access and schema validation:

const savePreference = action({
  name: "save-preference",
  description: "Save a user preference",
  schema: z.object({ key: z.string(), value: z.string() }),
  handler: async ({ key, value }, ctx) => {
    ctx.memory.preferences[key] = value;
    return { saved: `${key} = ${value}` };
  },
});

Extension System

Modular integrations for platforms and services:

import { discordExtension } from "@daydreamsai/discord";
import { supabaseExtension } from "@daydreamsai/supabase";

const agent = createDreams({
  extensions: [
    discordExtension({ token: process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN }),
    supabaseExtension({ url: process.env.SUPABASE_URL }),
  ],
});

🎯 Context Patterns

Single Context - Simple & Focused

Perfect for straightforward bots:

const faqBot = context({
  type: "faq",
  instructions: "Answer questions about our product",
});

Multiple Contexts - Separate Workspaces

When you need isolated functionality:

const agent = createDreams({
  contexts: [
    chatContext, // User conversations
    gameContext, // Game sessions
    adminContext, // Admin functions
  ],
});

🌟 Composed Contexts - Maximum Power

This is where Daydreams excels - contexts working together:

const smartAssistant = context({
  type: "assistant",
  schema: z.object({ userId: z.string(), plan: z.enum(["free", "pro"]) }),
}).use((state) => [
  // Always include user profile
  { context: profileContext, args: { userId: state.args.userId } },
  // Always include basic analytics
  { context: analyticsContext, args: { userId: state.args.userId } },
  // Add premium features for pro users
  ...(state.args.plan === "pro" ? [{ context: premiumContext }] : []),
]);

🔌 MCP Integration

Daydreams provides native Model Context Protocol support through extensions:

import { createMcpExtension } from "@daydreamsai/mcp";

// Connect to any MCP server
createMcpExtension([
  // Local servers via stdio
  {
    id: "files",
    transport: { type: "stdio", command: "mcp-server", args: ["./data"] },
  },
  // Remote servers via HTTP/SSE
  {
    id: "api",
    transport: { type: "sse", serverUrl: "https://mcp-api.example.com" },
  },
]);
