# autocomplete-core

> Autocomplete Core exposes primitives to build an autocomplete experience.

<Tip>
  Autocomplete is also available as an experimental widget in InstantSearch,
  making it easier to integrate into your search experience.
  For more information,
  see the API reference for [InstantSearch.js](/doc/api-reference/widgets/autocomplete/js) or
  [React InstantSearch](/doc/api-reference/widgets/autocomplete/react).
</Tip>

The [`autocomplete-core`](/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/api-reference/autocomplete-core/createAutocomplete) package is the foundation of Autocomplete. It exposes primitives to build an autocomplete experience.

You likely don't need to use this package directly unless you're building a [renderer](/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/guides/creating-a-renderer).
