AI Studio Adds SSR, Server Functions, and Secrets

AI Studio can now create more complete web apps for new projects. New projects run on TanStack Start, with support for server-rendered pages, server functions, REST APIs, and a secrets vault.

This expands SMBcrm AI features beyond front-end generation by adding a server-backed runtime for building and publishing web apps.

What changed

Server-rendered pages

New AI Studio projects render pages on the server for each request. Search engines, social previews, and visitors receive real HTML with page titles, descriptions, headings, and page copy.

Server functions

AI Studio can write server functions that run on the server instead of exposing implementation details in the browser. These functions can load data, call APIs, and keep logic off the client.

REST APIs

Projects can also include REST endpoints under /api/... for JSON-based requests, including GET and POST use cases, webhooks, and external HTTP calls.

Secrets

API keys and tokens can be stored in Secrets so they do not land in the client bundle, get pasted into chat, or appear in page source. Preview and production environments both receive the configured secrets.

Why it matters

The combination of SSR, server functions, REST APIs, and secrets makes it possible to build multi-page web apps with unique URLs, server-backed data, public APIs, private integrations, and a publish path for live apps.

Existing React projects

Current Vite/React apps keep running the same way. Nothing changes for existing projects, and a migration guide for moving them to the new framework is coming soon.
