The expression never takes an -s; it stays singular regardless of the subject.
Ouais, je suis d'accord avec ça.
Adding "avec ça" is redundant; "d'accord" already conveys agreement.
Oui, je suis d'accord.
While grammatically correct, using "oui" instead of "ouais" changes the register from informal to neutral.

Cultural Tip
The interjection "ouais" originated from youth slang and is now widespread in everyday speech, especially among younger generations. While perfectly natural in spoken French, it can sound too casual or even rude if used with strangers or in professional settings. Pairing it with a formal phrase like "je suis d'accord" creates a mixed register that is acceptable only in very relaxed contexts.
