Streaming Text
A streaming text effect reveals an AI or live-data reply word by word as it is generated, suggesting real-time output without the delay of character-by-character typing.
What is Streaming Text?
Streaming text is how AI assistants present their answers: the reply grows word by word in near real time, often chunked rather than character by character. It signals live generation and keeps the user watching. The shots below show streaming-style reveals across chat replies, code blocks, and live readouts.

Frequently asked questions
What is streaming text?+
Streaming text reveals a reply progressively as it is generated — usually word by word — to imitate a live AI or data response without a full-page wait.
How is streaming text different from a typewriter effect?+
A typewriter reveals character by character at a fixed pace. Streaming reveals word by word and often in irregular chunks, which better matches how AI models actually emit replies.
Why do streaming text animations matter?+
They make a generation process feel responsive and alive. In an AI product demo, streaming text is the visual proof that the model is working in real time.
