FAQPage Schema
How do I build a streaming chat UI with AI SDK v5?

Build a streaming chat UI in AI SDK v5 by configuring a DefaultChatTransport on the backend and using the useChat hook on the frontend to render live streaming messages. This pattern handles real-time text delivery efficiently.

How do I migrate chat features from AI SDK v4 to v5?

Migrate chat features from AI SDK v4 to v5 by restructuring messages into the new UIMessage format, which uses distinct parts for text, images, and tool-calls. You must also update your transport configuration to match v5 standards.

What is the UIMessage structure in AI SDK v5?

The UIMessage structure in AI SDK v5 is a parts-based architecture that separates chat content into text, image, and tool-call components. This replaces the older string-based message format to support richer interactions.

How do I integrate tool calls into an AI chat application?

Integrate tool calls into an AI chat application by defining tool schemas that orchestrate external actions within the chat. AI SDK v5 patterns allow the model to trigger these tools and return results directly through the UIMessage stream.

Does AI SDK v5 support server-side transport for streaming responses?

Yes, AI SDK v5 supports server-side transport for streaming responses using DefaultChatTransport. This configuration manages the connection between your backend AI models and the frontend useChat hook for live data delivery.
