API Reference

useAssistantRuntime

Deprecated. Use useAui instead. See the migration guide.

Hook to access the AssistantRuntime from the current context.

The AssistantRuntime provides access to the top-level assistant state and actions, including thread management, tool registration, and configuration.

function MyComponent() {
  const runtime = useAssistantRuntime();
  const handleNewThread = () => {
    runtime.switchToNewThread();
  };
  return <button onClick={handleNewThread}>New Thread</button>;
}

// After:
function MyComponent() {
  const aui = useAui();
  const handleNewThread = () => {
    aui.threads().switchToNewThread();
  };
  return <button onClick={handleNewThread}>New Thread</button>;
}
useAssistantRuntime
options ?: { optional?: false | undefined; }

optional ?: false

useAttachment

Deprecated. Use useAuiState: useAuiState((s) => s.attachment). See the migration guide.

const useAttachment: { (): AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }; <TSelected>(selector: (state: AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) => TSelected): TSelected; <TSelected>(selector: ((state: AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) => TSelected) | undefined): (AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) | TSelected; (options: { optional?: false | undefined; }): AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }; (options: { optional?: boolean | undefined; }): (AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) | null; <TSelected>(options: { optional?: false | undefined; selector: (state: AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) => TSelected; }): TSelected; <TSelected>(options: { optional?: false | undefined; selector: ((state: AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) => TSelected) | undefined; }): (AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) | TSelected; <TSelected>(options: { optional?: boolean | undefined; selector: (state: AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) => TSelected; }): TSelected | null; <TSelected>(options: { optional?: boolean | undefined; selector: ((state: AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) => TSelected) | undefined; }): (AttachmentState & { source: "message" | "thread-composer" | "edit-composer"; }) | TSelected | null; };

useComposer

Deprecated. Use useAuiState: useAuiState((s) => s.composer). See the migration guide.

Hook to access the current composer state.

This hook provides reactive access to the composer's state, including text content, attachments, editing status, and send/cancel capabilities.

// Before:
function ComposerStatus() {
  const text = useComposer((state) => state.text);
  const canSend = useComposer((state) => state.canSend);
  const attachmentCount = useComposer((state) => state.attachments.length);
  return (

      Text: {text.length} chars,
      Attachments: {attachmentCount},
      Can send: {canSend}
    </div>
  );
}

// After:
function ComposerStatus() {
  const text = useAuiState((s) => s.composer.text);
  const canSend = useAuiState((s) => s.composer.canSend);
  const attachmentCount = useAuiState((s) => s.composer.attachments.length);
  return (
    <div>
      Text: {text.length} chars,
      Attachments: {attachmentCount},

useComposerRuntime

Deprecated. Use useAui with aui.composer() instead. See the migration guide.

Hook to access the ComposerRuntime from the current context.

The ComposerRuntime provides access to composer state and actions for message composition, including text input, attachments, and sending functionality. This hook automatically resolves to either the message's edit composer or the thread's main composer depending on the context.

// Before:
function ComposerActions() {
  const runtime = useComposerRuntime();
  const handleSend = () => {
    if (runtime.getState().canSend) {
      runtime.send();
    }
  };
  const handleCancel = () => {
    if (runtime.getState().canCancel) {
      runtime.cancel();
    }
  };
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleSend}>Send</button>
      <button onClick={handleCancel}>Cancel</button>
    </div>
  );
}

// After:
function ComposerActions() {
  const aui = useAui();
  const canSend = useAuiState((s) => s.composer.canSend);
  const canCancel = useAuiState((s) => s.composer.canCancel);
  const handleSend = () => {
    if (canSend) {
      aui.composer().send();
    }
  };
  const handleCancel = () => {
    if (canCancel) {
      aui.composer().cancel();
    }
  };
  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleSend}>Send</button>
      <button onClick={handleCancel}>Cancel</button>
    </div>
  );
}

useScrollLock

Locks scroll position during collapsible/height animations and hides scrollbar.

This utility prevents page jumps when content height changes during animations, providing a smooth user experience. It finds the nearest scrollable ancestor and temporarily locks its scroll position while the animation completes.

  • Prevents forced reflows: no layout reads, mutations scoped to scrollable parent only
  • Reactive: only intercepts scroll events when browser actually adjusts
  • Cleans up automatically after animation duration
const collapsibleRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const lockScroll = useScrollLock(collapsibleRef, 200);

const handleCollapse = () => {
  lockScroll(); // Lock scroll before collapsing
  setIsOpen(false);
};

autoScroll ?: boolean

Whether to automatically scroll to the bottom when new messages are added. When enabled, the viewport will automatically scroll to show the latest content. Default false if `turnAnchor` is "top", otherwise defaults to true.

scrollToBottomOnRunStart ?: boolean

Whether to scroll to bottom when a new run starts. Defaults to true.

scrollToBottomOnInitialize ?: boolean

Whether to scroll to bottom when messages first appear in the thread. Defaults to true.

scrollToBottomOnThreadSwitch ?: boolean

Whether to scroll to bottom when switching to a different thread. Defaults to true.

useThreadViewportStore

const useThreadViewportStore: { (): ReadonlyStore<ThreadViewportState>; (options: { optional: true; }): ReadonlyStore<ThreadViewportState> | null; };

unstable_useComposerInputHistory

Deprecated. Under active development and might change without notice.

Terminal-style input history for the thread composer: ArrowUp on an empty draft recalls previously sent user messages (newest first), ArrowDown steps back toward the newest and finally restores the draft that was being typed when browsing started.

Recall only triggers when the caret is on the first/last line with no selection, so multi-line editing keeps native arrow behavior. The handler yields to an open mention/slash popover, to IME composition, to modifier keys, and to consumer handlers that already called preventDefault. It is inert on edit composers.

const history = unstable_useComposerInputHistory();
<ComposerPrimitive.Input {...history} />
