## FAQ

### How do I create an Agent-Native chat app?

Run the create command with the chat template to scaffold a standalone project.

### How does an action work for both the agent and the UI?

Define an action once with defineAction, and the agent receives it as a tool while React calls the same function.

### What database does Agent-Native use?

It uses PostgreSQL in production and PGlite for local development.
