Input

<ui5-ai-input> | Since 2.16.0

info

The @ui5/webcomponents-ai package is under active development and considered experimental. Component APIs are subject to change. Furthermore, the package supports Horizon themes only.

The ui5-ai-input component extends the standard ui5-input with AI Writing Assistant capabilities.

Structure

The ui5-ai-input consists of the following main parts:

• Input Field – Inherits all standard Input behaviors.
• AI Action Button – Appears when focused or loading, providing access to AI-related actions or stopping generation.

The component automatically determines which elements to render based on its internal state:

• The AI Button is only shown when there are available actions.
• The version navigation appears only when totalVersions > 1.

Keyboard Support

• Shift + F4 — Opens the AI menu.
• Ctrl + Shift + Z / Y — Navigates backward/forward between AI-generated versions.
