How AI is used

Tiptap is a headless, open-source editor framework designed for developers who want control over their user interface. It provides a toolkit of extensions that can be integrated into React, Vue, and Svelte applications, allowing businesses to build custom editing experiences tailored to their specific needs.

It is primarily designed for software companies and enterprises that require scalable document solutions. The framework supports workflows ranging from simple text entry to collaborative environments featuring live cursors, inline comments, and track-changes review.

For teams adding intelligence to their documents, Tiptap offers an AI Toolkit that supports AI agents capable of reading and editing document content in real time. This may help in creating tools like AI proofreaders or automated document assistants.

Buyers should confirm that while the core editor is open source, advanced features such as managed cloud documents, real-time collaboration, and specific AI tools require a paid Tiptap Platform subscription or an Enterprise agreement.
