Summary

  • The AI panel now uses TanStack AI (@tanstack/ai-react) instead of the Kapa SDK.
  • Algolia Agent Studio generates the answers. The agent searches the TanStack documentation with Algolia search tools.
  • The client connects useChat to the Agent Studio completions endpoint through the AG-UI compatibility mode. This bridge is public. Anyone can now connect TanStack AI to an Algolia agent.
  • The panel shows the search-tool activity inline in the answer flow.
  • The panel collects the answer sources from the search-tool results.
  • The panel sends thumbs feedback to the Agent Studio feedback endpoint.
  • This change removes the Kapa dependency, the reCAPTCHA integration, and the related environment variables.

Notes

  • The API key in the source is a search-only key. The key is safe in browsers. Approved domains and rate limits control abuse.
  • The attribution in the panel header is now "powered by Algolia" with the Algolia logo.

Verification

  • pnpm test: 466 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped
  • Manual two-turn conversations against the production agent, with tool calls, sources, markdown formatting, and feedback

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an AI chat experience powered by Algolia Agent Studio.

    • Bare URLs in chat messages are automatically converted into links.
    • New conversations start with a fresh chat thread, with chat history retained locally.
  • Bug Fixes

    • The reCAPTCHA badge is now visible and interactive.
  • Updates

    • Updated chat branding and terminology throughout the interface.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The AI chat migrated from Kapa to Algolia Agent Studio through TanStack AI. Chat streaming, feedback, history, thread handling, markdown rendering, branding, dependencies, environment variables, and build configuration were updated.

Changes

Agent Studio chat migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent Studio runtime wiring
package.json, src/components/AiDock.tsx, vite.config.ts
Kapa dependencies and imports were replaced with TanStack AI packages and Agent Studio endpoints. Vite bundling now includes TanStack AI packages, and image transformation configuration uses !isDev.
Agent Studio chat service
src/components/AiDock.tsx
The chat service now streams Agent Studio completions over server-sent events, extracts tool-result sources, submits feedback, and exposes Agent Studio error state.
Chat history and thread flow
src/components/AiDock.tsx
History types, storage keys, and helper names were renamed. History selection resumes stored server-side threads, while new questions wait for the replacement thread to mount.
Answer and attribution UI
src/components/AiDock.tsx, src/styles/app.css
Answers now render text and search-tool segments. Markdown gains bare-URL linking and heading/paragraph renderers. Kapa attribution and hidden reCAPTCHA styling were removed in favor of Algolia branding and visible badge interaction.

Chat history actions may retain or duplicate conversation state, and valid links ending in balanced delimiters may navigate to truncated URLs. Resolve these chat correctness issues before merging.

Upgrade @tanstack/ai-react or remount the chat client.

The lockfile resolves @tanstack/ai-react to 0.22.1. Its useChat ignores later threadId changes. Therefore, history selection and chat clearing can keep the original server thread and merge its messages with the selected history. The dynamic threadId fix is available from 0.23.0. Update the dependency and lockfile, or remount useChat when threadId changes.

Preserve balanced URL delimiters.

TRAILING_PUNCTUATION_PATTERN removes every terminal ) and ]. A valid URL such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics) gets a truncated href, so the link navigates to the wrong page. Strip these delimiters only when they are unmatched.

Reviewed authored head 0816463c4c98fdba336aace94020f9b03ce6d81f (without merging or rebasing main).

Correctness

  • P2 — Active history selection duplicates saved messages. src/components/SearchModal.tsx:2198: selecting the current thread preserves its live messages while adding its saved transcript as a prefix. An isolated Chromium reproduction using the installed SDK, with network requests blocked, produced persisted answer counts of 1 → 2 → 3 on repeated selections. Ignore active-thread selections or clear live messages before restoring history.

  • P2 — Autolinking truncates valid URLs. src/components/SearchModal.tsx:788: stripping trailing punctuation also removes balanced closing parentheses. A GitHub URL ending /routes/(auth) becomes /routes/(auth, pointing somewhere different. Reproduced directly against the new transform. Preserve balanced delimiters.

  • P3 — New Chat retains the previous error. src/components/SearchModal.tsx:2205: changing the thread clears messages but retains the SDK’s error state. An isolated SDK reproduction showed that after a failed request, changing the thread left the old error in place; the panel renders that error beneath the empty conversation. Clear the error when resetting.

Security

No confirmed new vulnerability. Existing safe-link checks remain; production key permissions, approved domains, and rate limits were not verified.

Tests

Type checking and lint passed; 466 tests passed, one skipped. The suite ran with pnpm’s automatic dependency-install check disabled, using the installed dependencies. No tests were added for the integration. Add regression coverage for history selection, reset after failure, URL parsing, tool-result sources, and feedback retries.

Freshness and applicability

At review time, the branch remains 46 commits behind main, with GitHub reporting CONFLICTING / DIRTY. The aborted local merge/rebase attempts left conflicts unresolved in package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, and src/components/SearchModal.tsx; no update was pushed.

The replacement remains relevant because main still uses Kapa, but it does not apply cleanly: main moved AI functionality into src/components/AiDock.tsx and shared search code into src/components/SearchShared.tsx. Port the integration into those files and reconcile dependency versions.

Ponytail

src/components/SearchModal.tsx:L869: native Custom UUID feature detection and timestamp/random fallback duplicate an available platform capability. Use crypto.randomUUID() directly.

It's working, but just a couple of small changes the agent found

The AI panel now streams answers from Algolia Agent Studio's AG-UI
completions endpoint via TanStack AI's useChat, replacing the Kapa SDK
and its reCAPTCHA integration. Sources are extracted from the agent's
Algolia search tool results, search activity renders inline in the
answer flow, and thumbs feedback posts to the Agent Studio feedback
endpoint.
Agent Studio now tolerates vendor metadata on AG-UI messages and prunes
unresolved historical tool calls before provider replay
(algolia/conversational-ai#1629), so the outgoing-message sanitizer is
no longer needed.
Swaps the staging agent for the production one now that AG-UI
compatibility mode and its message-tolerance fixes are deployed there.
Collect answer sources from sibling tool-result parts, which hydrated
threads use instead of inline tool-call output. Send the required
agentId with feedback votes and unlock the thumbs buttons when the
endpoint rejects a vote.
The agent emits bare URLs in prose, and CommonMark only autolinks URLs
wrapped in angle brackets. A markdown extension turns bare http(s) URLs
in text nodes into links, leaving code spans and existing links alone,
and long link labels now wrap cleanly inside the chat bubble.

Do not select the active history item again.

If the selected item uses the current threadId, conversation already contains its messages. displayConversation then prepends the stored copy and duplicates the transcript. The save effect can persist that duplicated transcript.

Return early when item.threadId === threadId, or render one canonical conversation source.
