AdaptTable for Base UI

AI table assistant in Base UI

@adapttable/ai is optional and provider-neutral. This Base UI demo combines a conversational assistant with a real table. Try filtering, grouping, column pinning and a proposed edit; available actions depend on the mounted features and the host's permissions. Row pinning requires an ungrouped view in this demo.

Start in Simulated mode: suggested prompts run deterministic local scenarios, not a language model. The conversation shows action receipts; a proposed write still follows approval and save policy. Connect backend sends your prompt and permitted table context to an endpoint you run. The assistant keeps the same table session and Base UI controls in both modes.

Three integration levels share that session: a custom bridge that maps any agent format onto session.execute, an AgentEnvelope on your transport, and optional JSON, OpenAI, MCP or HTTP helpers from your own runtime. Execution never requires another model call.

The optional Base UI assistant shares the table's kit primitives. Its conversation controller can also drive a custom interface without importing the ready panel.

const suggestions = [
  {
    id: "core-team",
    title: "Show only the Core team",
    prompt: "Show only the Core team.",
    requires: ["view.setFilters"],
  },
];

export function Orders({ rows, columns, onEdit }) {
  const [session, setSession] = useState();
  const transport = useMemo(
    () => assistantHttpTransport({ endpoint: "/api/table-agent" }),
    []
  );
  const assistant = useTableAssistant({ session, transport, suggestions });

  return (
    <>
      <DataTable
        data={rows}
        columns={columns}
        rowKey={(row) => row.id}
        features={[
          filters([{ key: "team", type: "multiSelect", getValue: (row) => row.team }]),
          agentApproval(),
          editing(onEdit),
          tableAgent({
            tableId: "orders",
            writePolicy: "allow",
            approval: "writes",
            commit: "stage",
            columns: { salary: { type: "number", writable: true } },
            bridge: { attach: setSession },
          }),

      />
      <TableAssistant
        assistant={assistant}
        open={assistant.open}
        onOpenChange={assistant.setOpen}
