+title: TanStack AI vs pi
+id: pi
+order: 2
+description: "Pick between TanStack AI and pi: when each one fits, how the core APIs map, and a feature table."
+keywords:
+ - tanstack ai
+ - pi
+ - pi-ai
+ - pi-agent-core
+ - pi-coding-agent
+ - comparison
+ - alternatives
+ - ag-ui
+ - agent loop
+ - coding agent
+---
+
+Pick TanStack AI for an app with a chat UI in the browser. Stay on pi for a terminal coding agent, or for an agent that signs in with a model subscription.
+
+Both are open-source TypeScript toolkits under the MIT license. Both stream model output, call tools, run an agent loop, and talk to many providers. TanStack AI streams the open [AG-UI](https://docs.ag-ui.com/) protocol from a server to a client. pi gives you agent events in the same process, and a coding agent CLI on top.
+
+## Pick TanStack AI when
+
+- **You build a web app.** `useChat` renders the run on the client, with hooks for React, Solid, Vue, Svelte, Preact, Angular and more. See [UI](../ui/react).
+- **You want an open protocol.** The server and the client talk AG-UI, in both directions. Any AG-UI agent or client can sit on the other side of the wire.
+- **You want to define a tool once.** One schema gives the input and output types on the server and on the client. Add `.server()` or `.client()` to run it on either side. See [Tools](../tools/tools).
+- **You want people to approve tool calls.** `needsApproval` pauses the run, and the client answers. See [Tool approval](../tools/tool-approval).
+- **You want to own your data.** Persistence writes to your database, in your schema. A reload in the middle of a reply loses nothing. See [Persistence](../persistence/overview) and [Resumable Streams](../resumable-streams/overview).
+
+TanStack AI also does the hard parts. Each one is its own package, so you load only what the task needs:
+
+- **Coding-agent harnesses.** Run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok Build, or any ACP agent as a chat backend, in a local process or a sandbox. See [Harness](../harness/overview).
+- **Subagents.** A tool can run a child agent, and the client shows its run as a card. See [Subagents](../chat/subagents).
+- **Media beyond chat.** Images, video, speech, transcription, music and realtime voice use the same adapters and persistence as chat. See [Generations](../media/generations).
+
+## Stay on pi when
+
+- Your product is a terminal coding agent. `pi-coding-agent` is a CLI with read, bash, edit and write tools, sessions, extensions and skills.
+- You sign in with a model subscription. pi has OAuth logins for Claude Pro and Max, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot and OpenRouter.
+- Your agent runs in one Node process with no browser client, and you want its events in that process.
+
+## Use both
+
+Keep a pi agent and put TanStack `useChat` in front of it, or serve a pi UI from `chat()`. `@tanstack/ai-pi-stream` converts the events and the message history in both directions:
+
+- [TanStack useChat with a pi agent](../migration/pi-agent-tanstack-client)
+- [pi UI with a TanStack AI server](../migration/pi-client-tanstack-server)
+- [pi bridge compatibility](../migration/pi-compatibility)
+
+## How the core APIs map
+
+| pi | TanStack AI |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `@earendil-works/pi-ai` | `@tanstack/ai` and one adapter package per provider |
+| `createModels()`, `setProvider(anthropicProvider())`, `getModel('anthropic', id)` | `anthropicText(id)` from `@tanstack/ai-anthropic` |
+| `models.streamSimple(model, context)` | `chat({ adapter, messages })` |
+| `models.completeSimple(model, context)` | `chat({ adapter, messages, stream: false })` |
+| The leading `system` message | `systemPrompts: ['...']` |
+| `AgentTool` with TypeBox `parameters` and `execute` | `toolDefinition({ inputSchema }).server(fn)` |
+| `agentLoop()` or the `Agent` class | `chat({ tools })`, which runs the loop |
+| `beforeToolCall` / `afterToolCall` | `middleware: [...]` with tool call hooks |
+| `agent.followUp(message)` | The [message queue](../chat/queueing) of `useChat` |
+| `agent.subscribe()` and `AgentEvent` | The AG-UI events of `chat()` |
+| `streamProxy()` in the browser | `toServerSentEventsResponse` and `fetchServerSentEvents` |
+| `@earendil-works/pi-mcp` | `@tanstack/ai-mcp`. See [MCP](../tools/mcp). |
+| `@earendil-works/pi-codemode` | `@tanstack/ai-code-mode`. See [Code Mode](../code-mode/code-mode). |
+
+## Feature comparison
+
+Versions: pi `1.4` and TanStack AI 1.0.
+
+| Feature | pi | TanStack AI |
+| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| License | MIT | MIT |
+| Main use | Agent harness, coding agent CLI, and the libraries under it | Full-stack AI apps: server, client and UI hooks |
+| Wire protocol | In-process `AgentEvent` objects. Remote sessions over CBOR (`pi-protocol`) | Native AG-UI, in both directions |
+| Providers | About 35 in `pi-ai`, plus any OpenAI-compatible API | OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Vertex, Bedrock, Grok, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, and more. Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint |
+| Subscription logins | OAuth for Claude Pro and Max, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, OpenRouter (Node only) | API keys |
+| UI | `pi-tui` for the terminal, `pi-web-ui` components | React, Solid, Vue, Svelte, Preact, Angular, Octane, Remix, React Native |
+| Tools | `AgentTool` with a TypeBox schema, run in the agent | One `toolDefinition()`, with `.server()` and `.client()` |
+| Tool approval | `beforeToolCall` can block a call | Per-tool `needsApproval`, with batched approvals and interrupts |
+| Steering and follow-up | Built-in queues on the `Agent` | A message queue in `useChat` |
+| Subagents | Not built in | Built in, with a card per child run |
+| Structured output | Constrained sampling for tool arguments | Typed message part, streamed with tools and kept in the history |
+| Token usage | Usage and cost on each assistant message | Usage on each model call |
+| Persistence | SQLite session backends. `pi-durable` is experimental | `withPersistence` middleware, server or browser stores |

+
+## 2. Serve the pi agent as AG-UI events
+
+The route reads the `useChat` request and converts the history to pi messages. The last message is the new prompt. Then the route runs the pi agent loop and converts its events:
+
+```typescript
+import { agentLoop } from '@earendil-works/pi-agent-core'
+import { createModels } from '@earendil-works/pi-ai'
+import { anthropicProvider } from '@earendil-works/pi-ai/providers/anthropic'
+import {
+ chatParamsFromRequest,
+ convertMessagesToModelMessages,
+ toServerSentEventsResponse,
+} from '@tanstack/ai'
+import { fromPiAgentEvents, toPiMessages } from '@tanstack/ai-pi-stream'
+
+const models = createModels()
+models.setProvider(anthropicProvider())
+
+export async function POST(request: Request) {
+ const model = models.getModel('anthropic', 'claude-fable-5-1')
+ if (!model) throw new Error('Model not found')
+
+ const { messages, threadId, runId } = await chatParamsFromRequest(request)
+ const history = toPiMessages(convertMessagesToModelMessages(messages), {
+ systemPrompts: ['You are a helpful assistant.'],
+ model: { api: model.api, provider: model.provider, model: model.id },
+ })
+ const prompt = history.pop()
+
+ const events = agentLoop(
+ prompt ? [prompt] : [],
+ { messages: history, tools: [] },
+ { model, convertToLlm: (piMessages) => piMessages },
+ request.signal,
+ models.streamSimple.bind(models),
+ )
+
+ return toServerSentEventsResponse(
+ fromPiAgentEvents(events, { threadId, runId }),
+ )
+}
+```
+
+- `model` stamps the history with the pi model. Then pi sends the reasoning signatures back to the same model.
+- Add your pi tools to `tools`. `useChat` shows their calls and results.
+
+## 3. Connect useChat
+
+```tsx
+import { useState } from 'react'
+import { fetchServerSentEvents, useChat } from '@tanstack/ai-react'
+
+export function Chat() {
+ const [input, setInput] = useState('')
+ const { messages, sendMessage } = useChat({
+ connection: fetchServerSentEvents('/api/chat'),
+ threadId: 'support-chat',
+ })
+
+ return (
+
+ )
+}
+```
+
+Each pi assistant message is one assistant message in `messages`, the same as each model call of `chat()`. Thinking, tool calls and tool results show as `thinking`, `tool-call` and `tool-result` parts.
+
+Send a message. The pi agent replies in `useChat`, and the next request sends pi the whole history, signatures included.

+Serve a pi UI from TanStack AI `chat()`. Read the pi history with `fromPiMessages`, and convert the `chat()` events to pi agent events with `toPiAgentEvents`. The UI reads the same `AgentEvent`s that `agentLoop()` gives.
+
+Use this page to move the server first. To move the client first, see [TanStack useChat with a pi agent](./pi-agent-tanstack-client).
+
+> [!WARNING]

+
+

+
+
+
+## 2. Serve chat() as pi agent events
+
+The pi client posts a thread id and its messages. `fromPiMessages` turns the messages into `chat()` params. The route sends one pi event per line (NDJSON):
+
+```typescript
+import { chat } from '@tanstack/ai'
+import { anthropicText } from '@tanstack/ai-anthropic'
+import { fromPiMessages, toPiAgentEvents } from '@tanstack/ai-pi-stream'
+
+export async function POST(request: Request) {
+ const body = await request.json()
+ const { messages, systemPrompts } = fromPiMessages(body.messages)
+
+ const events = toPiAgentEvents(
+ chat({
+ adapter: anthropicText('claude-fable-5-1'),
+ threadId: body.threadId,
+ messages,
+ systemPrompts,
+ }),
+ )
+
+ const encoder = new TextEncoder()
+ const stream = new ReadableStream({
+ async pull(controller) {
+ const { done, value } = await events.next()
+ if (done) controller.close()
+ else controller.enqueue(encoder.encode(`${JSON.stringify(value)}\n`))
+ },
+ })
+
+ return new Response(stream, {
+ headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-ndjson' },
+ })
+}
+```
+
+- Each model call of `chat()` is one pi turn with one assistant message.
+- The server tools of `chat()` show as `tool_execution_start` and `tool_execution_end`, then a `toolResult` message.
+- `agent_end` carries the new messages of the run. The prompt stays on the client.
+
+## 3. Read the events on the pi client
+
+Post the history, read the lines, and pass each event to the code that renders `agentLoop()` events:
+
+```typescript
+import type { AgentEvent, AgentMessage } from '@earendil-works/pi-agent-core'
+
+export async function* runRemoteAgent(
+ threadId: string,
+ messages: Array,
+): AsyncGenerator {
+ const response = await fetch('/api/chat', {
+ method: 'POST',
+ headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+ body: JSON.stringify({ threadId, messages }),
+ })
+ if (!response.body) throw new Error('No response body')
+
+ const reader = response.body.pipeThrough(new TextDecoderStream()).getReader()
+ let buffer = ''
+ for (;;) {
+ const { done, value } = await reader.read()
+ if (done) break
+ buffer += value
+ const lines = buffer.split('\n')
+ buffer = lines.pop() ?? ''
+ for (const line of lines) {
+ if (line) yield JSON.parse(line)
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+When `agent_end` arrives, append its `messages` to the history after the prompt. The next request sends that history back, and `chat()` replays it.
+
+Send a prompt. The pi UI renders the `chat()` reply with the same events as a local pi agent.

Subject: [PATCH 03/11] fix(ai-pi-stream): set system prompts on the server,
not from the pi client history
The server guide, README, skill and e2e route spread fromPiMessages(body.messages)
into chat(), so a client could set the system prompt with a system message.
Take only the messages from a client request.

Subject: [PATCH 04/11] feat(ai-pi-stream): approvals, client tools, progress,
cost, images and TanStack events across the pi bridge
- runPiAgent runs a pi agent for a useChat request: pi tools in needsApproval
pause for a useChat approval, client tools pause for the browser, and the
next request resumes with agentLoopContinue.
- chatParamsFromPiRequest validates a pi client request, drops its system
messages, and carries resume and parentRunId, so a pi client can answer
chat() approvals sent as tanstack-interrupt messages.
- chat() state, activity, custom and subagent events reach a pi client as
tanstack-event messages. pi tool progress and mid-run messages reach useChat
as CUSTOM events.
- Cost, images in tool results and redacted reasoning cross both ways.
- The compatibility page says which side has no place for each dropped row.

Each pi assistant message is one assistant message in `messages`, the same as each model call of `chat()`. Thinking, tool calls and tool results show as `thinking`, `tool-call` and `tool-result` parts.
-Send a message. The pi agent replies in `useChat`, and the next request sends pi the whole history, signatures included.
+## 4. Approve pi tool calls
+
+A pi tool in `needsApproval` pauses the run before it runs. The approval shows in `interrupts`. Answer it with `resolveInterrupt({ approved })`:
+
+```tsx
+import { fetchServerSentEvents, useChat } from '@tanstack/ai-react'
+
+export function Approvals() {
+ const { interrupts } = useChat({
+ connection: fetchServerSentEvents('/api/chat'),

+
+ ) : null,
+ )
+}
+```
+
+- The next request carries the answer. `runPiAgent` runs an approved call with the pi `beforeToolCall` and `afterToolCall` hooks, then continues the loop.
+- A denied call gets an error result with the `denied` outcome, and the model sees the denial.
+- The other tool calls of the same model call run at once.
+
+## 5. Run client tools
+
+Pass a client tool to `useChat`, as for a `chat()` route. The request sends its name, description and JSON Schema, and `runPiAgent` declares it to pi:
+
+```tsx
+import { toolDefinition } from '@tanstack/ai'
+import { fetchServerSentEvents, useChat } from '@tanstack/ai-react'
+import { z } from 'zod'
+
+const getLocation = toolDefinition({

+ threadId: 'support-chat',
+ tools: [getLocation],
+ })
+ return
{JSON.stringify(messages, null, 2)}
+}
+```
+
+When pi calls the tool, the run pauses. `useChat` runs the tool in the browser and sends the output. pi continues from that result.
+
+Send a message. The pi agent replies in `useChat`, asks before it deletes a file, and the next request sends pi the whole history, signatures included.

+## 4. Answer tool approvals
+
+A `chat()` tool with `needsApproval: true` pauses the run. The pi client gets a `tanstack-interrupt` message with the paused `runId` and the `interrupts`. Send an answer for each interrupt in `resume`, with the history:
+
+```typescript
+import type { AgentMessage } from '@earendil-works/pi-agent-core'

+export function approve(

+
+Post this body as in step 3. `chat()` runs or denies the tool, and the reply continues. If the history keeps the `tanstack-interrupt` message, you can leave out `parentRunId`.
+
+## 5. Run client tools
+
+Send the pi tools that the client runs in `tools`. `chat()` calls them like the client tools of `useChat`:
+
+```typescript
+import type { AgentMessage } from '@earendil-works/pi-agent-core'
+import type { Tool } from '@earendil-works/pi-ai'

+
+When the model calls one, the assistant message stops with `stopReason: 'toolUse'`. Run the tool, append its `toolResult` message to the history, and post again. `chat()` continues from the result.
+
Send a prompt. The pi UI renders the `chat()` reply with the same events as a local pi agent.

## pi client, TanStack AI server
```ts
import { chat } from '@tanstack/ai'
-import { fromPiMessages, toPiAgentEvents } from '@tanstack/ai-pi-stream'
-
-// From a client request, keep the messages only. Set the system prompt on
-// the server, so a client cannot change it.
-const { messages } = fromPiMessages(body.messages)
-const events = toPiAgentEvents(
- chat({ adapter, threadId, messages, systemPrompts: ['Be helpful.'] }),
-)
-for await (const event of events) render(event)
+import {
+ chatParamsFromPiRequest,
+ toPiAgentEvents,
+} from '@tanstack/ai-pi-stream'
+
+export async function POST(request: Request) {
+ const events = toPiAgentEvents(
+ chat({
+ adapter,
+ systemPrompts: ['Be helpful.'],
+ ...(await chatParamsFromPiRequest(request)),
+ }),
+ )
+ // Stream the events to the pi client, for example one JSON line each.
+}
```
+`chatParamsFromPiRequest` drops the client's system messages, so the server sets the system prompt. Approvals arrive as `tanstack-interrupt` pi messages and go back as `resume`.
+

From pi (`@earendil-works/pi-ai`, `pi-agent-core`), `@tanstack/ai-pi-stream`
converts pi agent events and pi messages in both directions:
-- Client first: run the pi `agentLoop()` on the route and serve
- `toServerSentEventsResponse(fromPiAgentEvents(events, { threadId, runId }))`.
- Build the pi history with
- `toPiMessages(convertMessagesToModelMessages(messages))`.
+- Client first: serve
+ `toServerSentEventsResponse(runPiAgent(await chatParamsFromRequest(request), { config, streamFn, tools, needsApproval, systemPrompts }))`.
+ pi tools in `needsApproval` pause for a `useChat` approval, and the client
+ tools of `useChat` run in the browser. For a hand-run `agentLoop()`, use
+ `fromPiAgentEvents` and `toPiMessages`.
https://tanstack.com/ai/latest/docs/migration/pi-agent-tanstack-client
-- Server first: `chat({ adapter, threadId, systemPrompts, messages: fromPiMessages(body.messages).messages })`,
- then stream `toPiAgentEvents(stream)` to the pi UI. Set `systemPrompts` on
- the server. Do not use the `systemPrompts` that `fromPiMessages` reads from
- a client request: then the client controls the system prompt.
+- Server first:
+ `chat({ adapter, systemPrompts, ...(await chatParamsFromPiRequest(request)) })`,
+ then stream `toPiAgentEvents(stream)` to the pi UI. `chatParamsFromPiRequest`
+ drops the client's system messages, so the server sets `systemPrompts`.
+ Approvals arrive as `tanstack-interrupt` pi messages and go back as `resume`.
https://tanstack.com/ai/latest/docs/migration/pi-client-tanstack-server
-Tool approvals, client tools and subagents do not cross. See
+What does not cross is what one side cannot hold: image URLs, audio, video
+and documents sent to pi, and structured output and subagents from pi. See

Subject: [PATCH 05/11] fix(ai-pi-stream): only run approved pi tools that need
approval, and keep pi system messages on the server
- runPiAgent answers an approval only for a tool in needsApproval and a client
output only for a client tool. Any other pending call from the client
history gets an error result and does not run. Only the client's approval
placeholder is replaced, so a replayed approval cannot run a tool again.
- fromPiAgentEvents forwards mid-run user messages only. pi system messages,
which hold the prompt and tool definitions, stay on the server. App
messages need the forwardMessage option.

Subject: [PATCH 06/11] fix(ai-pi-stream): reject missing and unknown resume
answers, and broken histories
A resume that misses a paused call, or answers a call that did not pause,
now ends with RUN_ERROR unknown-interrupt and interruptErrors, as chat()
does. toPiMessages throws on tool call arguments that are not a JSON
object and on a tool message with no tool call before it.

Subject: [PATCH 08/11] fix(ai-pi-stream): keep resumed histories whole, reject
unknown roles and bad answers
- toPiAgentEvents takes the chat() messages, so the results of resumed calls
become toolResult messages instead of being dropped, and a replayed call
does not open a second assistant message.
- toPiMessages drops system and developer messages and throws on unknown
roles, so a client system message never becomes an assistant message.
- runPiAgent converts the history inside the stream, so a broken history is a
RUN_ERROR. Malformed approval and client tool answers are rejected with
invalid-payload and invalid-tool-output, as in chat().
- Bad streamed tool arguments no longer crash the stream.
- chatParamsFromPiRequest rejects roles other than pi and tanstack-* messages.
- User media pi cannot hold throws instead of being dropped; tool results keep
it as JSON text.
- blockOrder round-trips in both directions. Shared metadata helpers, a
PiClientTool built from the pi Tool, and a finish reason guard replace the
copies and the cast.
- The e2e pi-client route reads the request with chatParamsFromPiRequest.

Subject: [PATCH 10/11] test(ai-pi-stream): manual and e2e scenarios for
approvals, errors, forged requests and block order
/pi-agent and /pi-client now list their scenarios as links. Each one is
deterministic (pi faux model, fakeText, or a hand-written AG-UI stream) and
has a Playwright test: approve, deny, mixed batch, client tools, a throwing
tool, model errors, interleaved thinking, a forged system message, broken
histories, and malformed, missing and forged resume answers.
