Why AI Transport
AI Transport introduces a durable session model to enhance AI application interactions. This model addresses limitations of traditional HTTP streaming by allowing persistent connections that survive disconnections and device changes. It enables features like multi-device synchronization and live control over AI processes, improving the overall user experience.
- ▪AI Transport replaces single HTTP connections with durable sessions for better interaction quality.
- ▪Durable sessions allow clients to resume interactions after disconnections and across devices.
- ▪The model supports bi-directional communication, enabling users to steer AI processes in real-time.

Why AI TransportDirect HTTP streaming breaks down once an AI app is in production. AI Transport replaces a single HTTP connection with a durable session that any participant connects to.Open inMost AI frameworks connect a client to an agent over an HTTP request and streamed response. The pattern is simple and every framework supports it, and it works for one-off interactions and demos. It also limits everything that comes after that first interaction. Streams die with the connection. Sessions cannot span devices. Clients have no mechanism to re-contact the agent once the original request is in flight. Each of these is a real production problem; together they bound the quality of AI experiences you build on direct HTTP streaming. See HTTP streaming and AI for the detail.
