Vercel AI SDK
Unified SDK for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more. Built-in streaming.
Plain language
What is it?
A toolkit that makes it easy to add AI chat features to a Next.js app, with responses that stream in word-by-word (like ChatGPT does).
Why use it at a hackathon?
Instead of writing complex AI integration code, this gives you React hooks and components that handle streaming AI responses automatically.
Common use
Chat interfaces, AI assistants, Q&A tools, real-time document summarization — anything where the AI response should appear as it's generated.
