Head over to this recipe for instructions on how to quickly add this function to your project.

Auto Summary Function - Sanity Recipes

AI-Powered Content Summary from Long Form Content

www.sanity.io

Sanity @sanity.io · 3d

Content teams can spend 5-10 minutes summarizing content for meta descriptions, social cards, and search result listings.

That quickly adds up.

Luckily, this is one the things that AI is pretty great at.

Spend 20min relieving your team from the chore with Sanity Functions and Agent Actions.

$const result = await client.agent.action.generate({ noWrite: local ? true : false, // if local is true, we don't want to write to the document, just return the result for logging instructionParams: { content: { type: 'field', path: 'body', }, }, instruction: `Based on the $content, write a summary no more than 250 words.`, target: { path: 'autoSummary', }, documentId: data._id, schemaId: '_.schemas.default', forcePublishedWrite: true, })$

agent project is looking good 🤌

A whiteboard filled with hand-drawn technical architecture diagrams, including boxes labeled 'Studio' and 'GROQ', interconnected with arrows, workflow sketches, and notes about domain knowledge and content representation. Various technical notations including 'PCA on embeddings' are scattered across the board. A red eraser and black marker are visible on the whiteboard tray.

I strongly recommend building your learning platform on a Content Operating System.

Authoring's done in the CMS, then rendered to 3 front ends and now populates 5 different views in this custom app for reporting + reviewing.

Stop manually tagging content.

Use a Sanity Function and Agent Actions to read your document and add relevant tags automatically:

- Scans content with AI
- Reuses existing tags from other posts
- Updates tags field on publish

www.sanity.io/recipes/auto...

$const result = await client.agent.action.generate({ instructionParams: { content: { type: 'field', path: 'body' }, tagsUsedInOtherPosts: { type: 'groq', query: "array::unique(*[_type == 'post'].tags[])" } }, instruction: `Based on $content, create 3 relevant tags. Reuse $tagsUsedInOtherPosts if they fit.`, target: { path: 'tags' }, documentId: data._id })$

It's very difficult to get stable repeatable benchmark results for scenarios that tie into React Concurrent mode. The best I've come up with is this one:

styled-components maintenance mode doesn't have to mean panic mode.

Our engineer @codey.bsky.social made performant community forks. Linear's already seeing 40% faster renders with zero code changes.

Not a permanent fix, but it buys you time to migrate properly.

styled-components maintenance mode: A 40% faster fork | Sanity

After styled-components entered maintenance mode, we forked it with React 18's useInsertionEffect. Result: 40% faster renders for Linear. Open source solution.

Sanita spends her days finding engineering talent for us. Last week, she built her first website with zero coding experience.

She wanted a pottery site. Grabbed @cursor.com.web.brid.gy, powered through 100 failed deployments until 4AM, and shipped.

How she did it → www.sanity.io/blog/buildin...

A recruiter with zero coding experience builds a pottery site using Cursor, Sanity, and sheer determination. 86 AI prompts, 100 deployments, one wild night.

Our staff engineer Vincent spent 6 weeks delegating code to Claude Code. His finding: expect 95% garbage on first attempts. And that's actually fine.

The mental model that works: treat AI like a junior developer who never learns.

This started as an internal Sanity workshop where I demoed how I actually use AI. Spoiler: it's running multiple agents like a small team with daily amnesia.
