Overview

As of version 5.44.1, the SDK exposes AI-related components and props for integrating AI-powered responses (for example, chatbot-style rendering).

See our React Native Assistant tutorial before integrating AI.

Best Practices

• Map your backend AI states to the SDK’s expected state model.
• Override default components only when your AI UX diverges from the defaults.
• Keep AI state transitions predictable to avoid flicker in UI.
• Handle AI_STATE_ERROR explicitly with user-friendly messaging.
• Treat AI components as opt-in and keep non-AI flows unaffected.

AI States

The AI can be in several states that reflect response progress. See the current list here.

State meanings:

• AI_STATE_THINKING - the AI is thinking and trying to internally craft an answer to your query
• AI_STATE_GENERATING - the actual response to your query is being generated
• AI_STATE_EXTERNAL_SOURCES - the AI is checking external resources for information
• AI_STATE_ERROR - the AI has reached an error state while trying to answer your query
• AI_STATE_IDLE - the AI is in an idle state and is not doing anything

If your implementation uses different states, override the default components and behavior as needed.
