Setup paths cover Plate UI, Next.js, React, React Server Components, Node.js, and manual installation.

The AI package provides streaming menus and chat, AI-marked text, and API-route integration patterns. Yjs collaboration supports IndexedDB, Hocuspocus, WebRTC, awareness, remote cursors, and custom providers. Media features support images, video, audio, and files, including embeds, uploads, drag-and-drop, clipboard paste, URL embedding, and captions. The package is MIT-licensed. The Free plan is free; Personal is €299, paid once and Teams is €799, paid once. The provided UploadThing middleware is intended for local development; production use requires application session and permission checks.
