For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: A chevron button at the end of the input that opens the full list before anything is typed

When to use

Search and filter fields that suggest matching options while the user types
People and record lookups, grouped by team or fetched from a server as the query changes
Form fields whose typed or picked text is validated with the rest of the form on submit

When not to use

A field that also needs a button to empty the typed text: use the Autocomplete Clear & Trigger example
A selection that stores the chosen option rather than typed text, or several as chips: use the Combobox component
Options nested in levels that the user drills into one level at a time: use the Cascader component
A palette of app actions and keyboard shortcuts, often opened in a dialog: use the Command component

Agent notes

Matching runs twice, in filteredItems and in the default filter, so pass filter as null when you replace the match logic
value and onValueChange carry the input text as a string; picking an item only fills that text and stores no item object
Both twins are built on @base-ui/react, so installing it in a radix project adds Base UI as a dependency
A Server Component cannot create the function child of AutocompleteList, so the file that renders it needs a use client directive
