SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Vercel AI SDK guidelines provide a structured approach for building streaming AI applications in TypeScript and React, helping teams align on architecture, safety, and best practices to reduce risk and accelerate delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Streaming core API usage: Leverage streamText, streamObject, or generateObject to deliver real-time data and reliable structured outputs for user-facing experiences.
  • UI integration: Use useChat and related hooks in React to manage chat state, tool invocations, and error handling within Next.js apps.
  • Tool calling & security: Define tools with strict schemas (Zod) and ensure server-side execution with proper input validation, safeguarding against prompt injections and data leakage.

Quick Start

Install the Vercel AI SDK and initialize a basic streaming chat component in your Next.js app.
