[.NET][AG-UI][Workflows] How to filter ChatMessages on the Client side

[ecc-parity-check]

Hello,

I'm getting more and more confused while using AG-UI with a Workflow.

In order to use a Workflow with AG-UI we need to convert it into an Agent.

As far as I understand, the Workflow as an Agent works like this that it outputs all the workflow's events as ChatMessages.

Now let's imagine that we are building one of the "common" examples of workflows: the slogan generator and the translator.

Agent1 is generating a slogan about our company, let's imagine it generated "My company is the best".
Agent2 is translating it to French "Mon entreprise est la meilleure".

We have a sequential Workflow that should return French slogan about my company.
I expect to have a French output.

Instead I get the English version and the French version, as the output of every Agent is converted into a ChatMessage.

Ok, so maybe I can ask the Client of my workflow, to just filter the English messages out.
To do it I need to let the Client know what is the Id of French speaking Agent, and based on message's AuthorId he can "use" just those messages.

But with AG-UI I can't do that.
Every message has AuthorId set to the AG-UI Client's Agent Id......

Could someone explain to me how to make this workflow useful, please?

There is work being done right now to support C# Workflows with AG-UI. The workflow "as agent" was primarily done to support hosted agents scenarios, and wasn't meant to be perfectly adaptable to AG-UI.
