Overview
The Inline AI Assist control delivers fast, contextual AI help directly in editors, input fields, and UI elements so users can stay focused. It’s ideal for short tasks like refining wording, producing summaries, clarifying content, translating, correcting grammar, generating code, and more.

Inline micro-assistance
The control appears at the user’s point of focus — next to a selection or UI element — using auto-positioning and collision detection to remain visible. This minimizes context switching and speeds up AI-enabled workflows in editors, forms, grid cells, and code inputs.


Pop-up mode for extended responses
When a response needs extra space, the control opens in pop-up mode — a larger dialog that clearly displays multi-paragraph replies and extended code examples.
Customizable commands
Developers can define custom AI commands that leverage selected text and editor context to construct intelligent prompts. These commands are fully configurable to support domain-specific actions such as text refinement, code generation, summarization, and translation.


Response actions
Default response actions let users accept or dismiss suggestions, and the control also supports custom actions. Teams can implement domain-specific behaviors like insert, copy, or feedback hooks to match their application workflows.
Streaming response
Stream responses in real time with incremental rendering and progress indicators for a conversational experience. Developers control streaming, including abort and cancel options — to provide responsive visual feedback and reduce perceived latency.


Adaptive AI Assist toolbar
A flexible toolbar appears beside the editor in inline mode and is docked below in bottom mode. This adaptive placement fits various layouts, improves editing flow, and creates a more intuitive AI experience.
Fully customizable with templates
Every aspect of the control can be customized using templates — from the input editor and command list to response rendering, toolbar actions, pop-up sizing, theme, and styling. Template-driven customization makes it simple to adapt the UI for specific domains while preserving brand consistency.

Works with any AI service
The control is backend-agnostic, giving developers full control over prompt handling, streaming, and error management. It supports OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Azure OpenAI, and private in-house models — offering flexibility, avoiding vendor lock-in, and enabling cost optimization through custom response injection.
Accessibility
- Complete keyboard support with Tab/Shift+Tab navigation, arrow-key movement, and screen-reader updates during streaming responses.
- Conforms to WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines, includes high-contrast modes, correct ARIA labeling, and robust focus management.
Built-in themes
ASP.NET Core Inline AI Assist ships with built-in themes, including Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap 5, Bootstrap 4, Bootstrap, Material, Fabric, Fluent, and high contrast. Developers can customize these themes or author new ones by overriding SASS variables or using the Theme Studio application to match their visual style.
