Frequently Asked Questions about ai-sdk

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use generateText and streamText to build AI-powered text generation features?

Use generateText for structured text outputs and streamText for real-time streaming in your AI apps. The AI SDK provides these core functions to handle text generation, allowing you to integrate AI providers and manage responses within your application workflows.

How do I build an AI agent with tool calling using the AI SDK?

Build an AI agent with tool calling using the ToolLoopAgent component in the AI SDK. It enables type-safe agent composition, allowing your application to execute multi-step tool loops and interact with external APIs securely.

Can I use the useChat hook to build a streaming chatbot interface?

Yes, you can use the useChat hook to build streaming chatbot interfaces. The AI SDK provides React hooks like useChat and useCompletion to manage conversational state and stream responses directly to your UI components.

What is the best way to generate embeddings for a RAG system with the AI SDK?

The best way to generate embeddings for a RAG system is using the embed function within the AI SDK. It handles embedding generation securely, enabling retrieval-augmented generation workflows by converting text into vector representations.

Do I need an AI Gateway to select models for my AI agents?

Yes, you route model selection for your AI agents through the AI Gateway. The AI SDK uses this gateway to manage providers and ensure safe usage patterns when integrating different language models into your application.

Are there safe usage patterns for integrating AI providers in my application?

The AI SDK establishes safe usage patterns for integrating AI providers into your application. It guides secure model selection via the AI Gateway and ensures type-safe composition when building complex workflows like RAG systems or chatbots.
