This episode announces ServiceStack v8.10, highlighting its focus on AI-First Development by introducing first-class support for React and Tailwind CSS given their growing popularity for AI-generated UIs.

It introduces new React project templates and a comprehensive React component library, alongside an okai tool for generating C# AutoQuery CRUD APIs and DB Migrations from TypeScript data models.
Furthermore, the release significantly upgrades the platform's AI Chat capabilities, providing a unified provider abstraction, built-in analytics, cost tracking, and history persistence through features like DbChatStore.
Finally, it covers the launch of AI Search on ServiceStack Docs, leveraging Typesense and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to offer conversational, context-aware answers grounded in the official documentation.
