Show HN: Tiptap AI Agent – Add AI workflows to your text editor in minutes
Jun 04, 2025 - news.ycombinator.com
The Tiptap AI Agent is designed to seamlessly integrate AI capabilities into a rich text editor, eliminating the need to overhaul the entire frontend. It addresses challenges such as extracting context from complex document structures, managing prompt input and streamed output, supporting undo/redo for AI changes, and designing user interfaces for accepting or rejecting changes. The toolkit allows for the definition of AI Agents that can read and edit rich text based on user-defined tasks, with the ability to trigger these agents manually, automatically, or through structured input. It is compatible with OpenAI or custom backend and LLM stacks and is built on Tiptap’s multiplayer engine.
Additionally, the toolkit includes an AI Changes extension, enabling users to review and accept or reject AI-generated edits, similar to a code review process for content. This feature enhances collaboration and content management within the editor. A live demo is available online, and developer documentation provides further guidance on implementing these capabilities.
Key takeaways:
Integrates AI into a rich text editor without needing to rebuild the frontend.
Handles complex tasks like context extraction, prompt input/output, and undo/redo for AI changes.
Supports manual, automatic, or structured input-triggered AI agent activation.
Includes an AI Changes extension for reviewing and accepting/rejecting edits.
