Description
We recently shipped the Tiptap AI Toolkit (https://tiptap.dev/docs/content-ai/capabilities/ai-toolkit/o...), which lets developers embed LLM-powered editing into rich text editors.Now we’re exploring the next step: making agents operate on documents without a browser involved.The idea is a server-side system where agents can read, write, and transform documents in real time — essentially treating your document layer as a programmable data store that agents can interact with directly. Internally we’ve been joking about the name “real-time agentic document database”, because that’s the shape it’s starting to take.I’m curious how others would think about this direction.If you had a database where the fundamental unit wasn’t rows/objects, but documents with semantic structure that agents can mutate, what else could or should it do?Where are the obvious footguns?What boundaries would you want between agent autonomy and document integrity?Would love to hear how you’d expand or constrain a system like this.

Could you build this?
Partial Simple LLM text replacement endpoints are easy to build, but executing agentic, schema-valid document edits headlessly on complex ProseMirror/Tiptap document trees and real-time CRDTs requires deep domain knowledge.
What it would actually take: The service requires a headless Node.js runtime executing ProseMirror document schemas, generating transactional step diffs from LLM instructions, and integrating with Yjs or collaborative web-sockets. The core challenge is translating high-level LLM modifications into precise, valid ProseMirror JSON node operations without schema invalidation or conflict corruption in active multi-user sessions. Requires deep knowledge of ProseMirror internals and CRDT collaborative architectures.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
