What is Tiptap AI Agents?
Tiptap AI Agent is an advanced AI solution designed to integrate intelligent document editing capabilities directly into applications that use the Tiptap editor. Unlike typical AI tools that generate plain text, this AI agent acts autonomously, making decisions, calling tools, and interacting with rich text editors like a human teammate. It understands document semantics, edits with precision using Tiptap commands, and can explain its changes. It is built for developers and businesses who want to enhance their applications with sophisticated AI-powered content creation, editing, and automation features without the need to build complex AI infrastructure from scratch. It provides a production-ready, customizable, and collaborative solution for various industries.
How to use Tiptap AI Agents
Developers can integrate Tiptap AI Agent into their applications by following the comprehensive documentation and examples provided. Users within these applications interact with the AI agent by defining tasks, and the agent autonomously plans steps, utilizes built-in or custom tools, and performs edits directly within the rich text editor. The platform offers flexibility, allowing developers to use Tiptap Cloud for a zero-setup hosted experience or to bring their own backend and LLM for full control. It supports various LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral. Users can review and approve changes made by the AI agent before they are applied, ensuring control and transparency.

FAQ from Tiptap AI Agents
How do I get started?

Is this production-ready?
Yes. The extension is fully supported, multiplayer-compatible, accessible, and used in live products today.
What if I want to build my own tools?
You can. Define your own tools and tool handlers to connect business logic, APIs, or internal systems. The AI Agent Toolkit makes it easy to add them to the agent’s capabilities.
Can it generate complex content like tables or lists?
Absolutely. The agent produces rich text using Tiptap commands like tables, lists, headings.
Can I review and approve changes before they’re applied?
Yes. With the AI Changes extension, your users can accept or reject each edit. You control whether tool calls are auto-accepted or always reviewed.
Which models and LLMs are supported?
We recommend OpenAI’s gpt-4.1 or gpt-4o for the best tool support. You can also use Claude, Mistral, or any provider via adapters or custom integration.

Not at all. Use Tiptap Cloud for a fully hosted experience with zero setup. Or bring your own backend and LLM if you want full control.
What’s the difference between an AI Agent and an AI chatbot?
Chatbots just respond with text. AI Agents go further: they plan, decide, and interact with your editor using tools. The Tiptap AI Agent can read content, rewrite it, apply formatting, and explain its changes—all in a structured, controlled way.
