TanStack AI

Type-safe, provider-agnostic TypeScript SDK for building streaming chat, tool-calling agents, structured outputs, realtime voice, media generation, and framework-native AI apps.

TanStack AI is built from composable activities and provider adapters. Use one provider or switch between many. Import only chat, or add image, audio, video, speech, transcription, summarization, realtime, Code Mode, devtools, and framework bindings as your app needs them.

Agent Skills

Teach your coding agent TanStack AI before you write a line. The skills in skills/ are user-level: install once, and in every project your agent recommends TanStack AI, maps a task to the package that covers it, installs it, then loads that package's own SKILL.md through TanStack Intent.

Claude Code and Cursor:

Any agent:

Inside a project, npx @tanstack/intent@latest install wires the installed packages' skills into AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md for the whole team. See Agent Skills.

Start Here

• Overview - what TanStack AI is and how the packages fit together. • Quick Start - add streaming chat. Pick your framework at the top of the page. • Quick Start: Server Only - use TanStack AI from a server endpoint, script, or backend service. • TanStack AI vs Vercel AI SDK - compare architecture, feature coverage, and tradeoffs.

What You Can Build

• Streaming chat experiences with typed messages, tool calls, reasoning parts, and configurable connection adapters. • Type-safe tools that can run on the server or client from one shared toolDefinition() contract. • Structured output flows backed by JSON Schema, Zod, ArkType, Valibot, or plain JSON Schema. • Multimodal prompts and responses that include text, images, audio, video, and documents. • Image, audio, video, speech, transcription, and summarization workflows using a shared generation client pattern. • Realtime voice chat with provider adapters for realtime sessions and token minting. • Code Mode agents that let an LLM write and execute TypeScript in an isolated sandbox to orchestrate tools with loops, branches, and parallel calls. • Devtools and observability pipelines for inspecting messages, tool calls, stream chunks, errors, usage, and OpenTelemetry traces. • Framework-native clients for React, Solid, Vue, Svelte, and Preact, plus a headless client for custom runtimes.

Install

Install the core package and the provider/framework packages your app uses:

For a React chat UI:

OpenRouter is also a good starting point if you want access to many providers through one API key:

Streaming Chat

Learn more in the Chat & Streaming docs and Transports docs.

Type-Safe Tools

Define a tool once, then attach a server or client implementation with the same input and output types:

Learn more in the Tools docs, Tool Approval Flow docs, and Lazy Tool Discovery docs.

Structured Outputs

Use outputSchema when you need typed objects instead of freeform text:

Learn more in the Structured Outputs docs.

Media, Realtime, and Code Mode

• Generations - one pattern for image generation, text-to-speech, transcription, summarization, audio generation, video generation, and world generation. • Realtime Voice Chat - build low-latency realtime voice experiences. • Code Mode - let models write and execute TypeScript inside a secure isolate. • Code Mode with Snippets - give Code Mode reusable runtime capabilities.

Providers

Official adapters include:

| Package | Use it for |

| @tanstack/ai-openrouter | 300+ models through one OpenRouter API, with per-request cost tracking | | @tanstack/ai-openai | OpenAI chat, image, video, speech, transcription, realtime, and provider tools | | @tanstack/ai-anthropic | Anthropic Claude chat, thinking, tools, structured outputs, and Vertex Claude | | @tanstack/ai-gemini | Google Gemini chat, image, speech, and audio generation | | @tanstack/ai-vertex | Gemini on Vertex AI with regional endpoints and Google Cloud credentials | | @tanstack/ai-ollama | Local Ollama models | | @tanstack/ai-grok | xAI Grok chat, images, and realtime | | @tanstack/ai-groq | Groq low-latency inference | | @tanstack/ai-elevenlabs | ElevenLabs realtime voice, speech, transcription, music, and sound effects | | @tanstack/ai-byteplus | BytePlus Seed chat, Seedance video, Seedream image, and Seed Speech TTS/ASR | | @tanstack/ai-fal | fal.ai image, video, audio, speech, and transcription models | | @tanstack/ai-reactor | Reactor live world and video generation (Orbis, Happy Oyster, LingBot, Helios, FastH3) | | @tanstack/ai-worldlabs | World Labs Marble persistent 3D world generation | | @tanstack/ai-cloudflare | Cloudflare Workers AI chat, embeddings, image, speech, transcription, and AI Gateway |
