title: "AI Transport roadmap"
meta_description: "The AI Transport roadmap across three horizons: capabilities available now, capabilities in active development, and capabilities planned for the future."
meta_keywords: "AI Transport, roadmap, durable sessions, AI infrastructure, token streaming, human handover, durable execution"
intro: "AI Transport is under active development with new releases shipping regularly"
---

This page shows where AI Transport is heading. The roadmap is dynamic and updated based on the feedback received from customers. The fastest way to influence this roadmap is to [contact Ably](https://ably.com/contact), explaining what you are trying to build and where AI Transport can help you.

## Delivered <a id="delivered"/>

Available today.

| Capability | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Resumable token streaming](/docs/ai-transport/features/token-streaming) | Tokens stream over a session rather than a single HTTP request, so a dropped connection resumes mid-response with nothing lost or duplicated, and a reconnecting client catches up automatically. |
| [Connection resilience](/docs/ai-transport/features/reconnection-and-recovery) | Realtime delivery over WebSocket with automatic fallback to HTTP streaming and long-polling, so streams survive proxies, firewalls, and unreliable networks. |
| [Multi-device session continuity](/docs/ai-transport/features/multi-device) | The same session opens on any device the user picks up, with the full conversation and current state. |
| [Persistent history and replay](/docs/ai-transport/features/history) | Conversations survive disconnects and stay available as history, for resumption, audit, and review. |
| Bidirectional control | Any client signals the agent through the session, so a user can [cancel generation](/docs/ai-transport/features/cancellation), [interrupt](/docs/ai-transport/features/interruption), [send again while the agent responds](/docs/ai-transport/features/double-texting), and keep interacting rather than only consuming a one-way stream. |
| [Conversation branching](/docs/ai-transport/features/branching) | Edit and regenerate messages, with each branch kept in the session tree. |
| Client-side tool calls and approval gates | Call [client tools](/docs/ai-transport/features/tool-calling) over the session, with [human-in-the-loop](/docs/ai-transport/features/human-in-the-loop) approval where you need it. |
| Drop-in framework integration | A drop-in transport for the [Vercel AI SDK](/docs/ai-transport/getting-started/vercel-ai-sdk), plus the [Core SDK](/docs/ai-transport/getting-started/core-sdk) for everything else. |
| Shared live state and presence | [Agent presence](/docs/ai-transport/features/agent-presence) and [shared session state](/docs/ai-transport/features/liveobjects) exposed directly through the SDK. |
| Enterprise-ready platform | SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA, on Ably's realtime [infrastructure](/docs/ai-transport/concepts/infrastructure). |

## Now <a id="now"/>

Actively building.

| Capability | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Durable execution support | Pair durable sessions with [Temporal](https://temporal.io/) and [Vercel Workflow SDK](https://workflow-sdk.dev/), so the workflow and the user experience are both crash-proof. |
| Human and AI handover | Transfer a conversation between an AI and a human agent and back again using the AI Transport SDK, with live supervision and escalation. |
| Mid-session steering | Redirect or steer the agent while it responds. |
| Increased ecosystem support | Native integrations for OpenAI and Anthropic, so more of the ecosystem is a drop-in. |

## Next <a id="next"/>

Coming up - unlikely to change.

| Capability | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Push notifications through the AI Transport SDK | Reach users when they are away, including iOS Live Activities for long-running tasks, without using the Pub/Sub SDK. |
| Increased language support | AI Transport SDK implementation in Python. |
| Ably [Chat SDK](/docs/chat) integration | A clean path from chat use cases into AI Transport. |

## Future <a id="future"/>

Planned and exploring. If you care about one of these features then [contact Ably](https://ably.com/contact), explaining what you are trying to build and where AI Transport can help you.

| Capability | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Increased language support | Java, Swift, Kotlin, and .NET. |
| Expanded ecosystem support | Gemini, LangChain and LangGraph, TanStack AI, AG-UI, Vue, and Svelte. |
Comment thread
rainbowFi marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated
| Sub-agent orchestration | Better primitives for coordinating multiple sub-agents in a single Run. |
| More durable-execution integrations | Inngest and trigger.dev. |
| Multimodal | Audio and video delivery, and integrations with voice providers. |
