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

    • Updated the AI chat experience to use Algolia Agent Studio.
    • Improved answer display by interleaving responses with relevant search results.
    • Added automatic linking for plain-text URLs and improved wrapping for long links.
    • Added updated chat history handling and Agent Studio attribution.
    • Added resilient feedback controls, including retry support when requests fail.
  • Bug Fixes

    • The reCAPTCHA badge is now visible in the interface.
  • Chores

    • Removed the previous AI chat integration and its related configuration requirements.

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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The search chat migrated from Kapa AI to Algolia Agent Studio through TanStack AI. It now supports streamed tool-call segments, feedback, server-side thread selection, updated history storage, and Agent Studio attribution.

Changes

Agent Studio chat migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent Studio runtime wiring
package.json, vite.config.ts, src/components/SearchModal.tsx
TanStack AI packages and Agent Studio endpoints replace the Kapa SDK wiring.
Agent Studio chat service
src/components/SearchModal.tsx
useAgentStudioChat streams completion messages, parses tool output into answer segments, and submits feedback with retry handling.
Chat history and thread flow
src/components/SearchModal.tsx
History uses new types and storage keys. History selection resumes stored threads. Clearing chat creates a new thread and defers pending questions until the client is ready.
Answer and attribution UI
src/components/SearchModal.tsx
The answer UI renders streamed text and search-tool-call segments. Markdown handling, suggestions, history controls, and attribution use Agent Studio terminology.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 08164

This PR sends chat and feedback directly from browsers using public provider credentials and removes the previous reCAPTCHA control; abuse limits and thread/message ownership therefore need explicit confirmation in the provider configuration. It also risks truncating valid URLs containing balanced delimiters. Merge should wait for owner acceptance or remediation of these bounded security and correctness risks.

1016-1019: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

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.

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.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

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.
