FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate from AI SDK v4 to v5 for chat features?▼

AI SDK v5 updates the transport configuration and UIMessage types from v4. Replace your v4 constructs with DefaultChatTransport and updated UIMessage patterns. The migration guides you through adopting the new API surface while maintaining existing chat functionality in React apps.

How do I build a streaming chat UI with React and AI SDK?▼

Build a streaming chat UI by installing @ai-sdk/react and the ai package, then create a chat component using DefaultChatTransport({ api: "/api/chat" }) to wire message sending and receiving. This enables real-time streaming of chat messages across your React app.

Can I integrate tool calls into an AI SDK chat interface?▼

Yes. AI SDK 5 supports tool integrations within streaming chat UIs. Configure tools in your transport setup and custom UI message parts to handle tool calls alongside regular messages in your React chat component.

What do I need to know before adopting AI SDK 5 patterns?▼

You need familiarity with @ai-sdk/react, the ai package, and understanding of v4 patterns to migrate effectively. The Skill assumes React development experience and guides you through the updated transport and UIMessage design required for v5.

Does AI SDK 5 work with custom message UI components?▼

Yes. AI SDK 5 supports custom UI message parts, allowing you to extend the default message rendering with your own components. Configure these within the chat transport to customize how streaming messages and tool responses appear in your interface.
