    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides animated dotted thought-orb loading indicators for AI and agent user interfaces using a plain 2D canvas.

    • Use for enhancing AI chat or agent UIs with visually distinct loading states that communicate different processing actions.
    • Use for lightweight, accessible loading animations that adapt to user theme preferences and reduce motion settings automatically.
    • Use for embedding scalable, performant loading indicators in both chat avatars and inline text contexts within TypeScript React projects.

    Dotted thought-orb loading indicators for AI & agent UIs. Nine hand-tuned animated states, each shipped at two purpose-tuned sizes, rendered on a plain 2D canvas — no WebGL, no filters, works identically in Chrome, Safari and Firefox.
