textarea autosuggest for both @mentions and #tags

Question

I am working in a rails 3.2 application and i have a requirement to provide auto-suggest for a text area to fetch @mentions users and #tags in the same textarea.

To elaborate: when a user starts typing @ab... the autosuggest should fetch users fron json is provide and when he types #ab it should suggest tags from json i provide.If there are no tags for the letters entered the new tag should automatically get added to the suggest list and get appended to the textarea on click action.

Please suggest some jquery option to enable thi feature in a textarea
