Streaming answer

An answer that streams in uneven chunks, each new word blurring into focus as it arrives, with [n] markers turning into citation pills.

63 / 74

Where it earns its place

Assistants on pricing, docs or support pages, where the answer has to feel live and every claim should point back to a source.

What we changed

  • Wrote a Kinetiq scene: a visitor asks how long a launch takes and the answer cites the FAQ and the Aster OS and Vellum Labs case studies.
  • Simulated a realistic stream (seeded, uneven chunks that split words mid-way) and made sure a citation marker is never split across chunks.
  • Added a source row that fills as each citation first appears, and made pills focusable with an accessible name.
  • Replaced the blinking caret with a steady one that leaves when the stream ends; kept the rule that only newly arrived tokens animate.
