FAQPage Schema
How do I build a streaming chat UI in React with the Vercel AI SDK?

Build streaming chat UIs in React using the Vercel AI SDK's useChat hook, which handles message state, streaming responses, and auto-submission. Connect it to a Next.js API route that calls your AI provider, and the hook manages state updates as tokens arrive, eliminating manual stream parsing.

Can I use the Vercel AI SDK with Next.js and OpenAI?

Yes. The Vercel AI SDK v5/v6 integrates directly with Next.js and @ai-sdk/openai. Use the useChat hook on the frontend connected to a server action or API route, and the SDK handles the OpenAI integration, streaming, and type safety automatically.

What are common errors when implementing AI chat interfaces in React?

Common errors include stream parsing failures, stale state issues, and missing error boundaries. This Skill documents 12 documented UI errors and provides templates that prevent them, such as proper abort handling and state synchronization patterns.

How do I migrate from Vercel AI SDK v4 to v5?

Migration involves updating hook signatures and API route handlers to v5 patterns. The Skill covers v4→v5 migrations with step-by-step guidance, template updates, and handling of breaking changes in useChat, useCompletion, and structured output hooks.

Can I add tool calling and structured output to my React chat interface?

Yes. Use the useAssistant and useObject hooks alongside useChat to handle tool calls and structured outputs. The Skill provides templates for type-safe agent messaging and tool-call workflows that integrate with Zod schemas and streaming responses.

Does the Vercel AI SDK support file attachments in chat UIs?

Yes. The Skill includes templates for adding file attachments to chat interfaces using the Vercel AI SDK's built-in attachment handling, enabling production-ready customer support chatbots and multi-modal interactions within React.
