Reviewer scorecard
“Visual regression testing catches bugs that unit tests miss. The Storybook publishing and review workflow is seamless.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“Design review directly on PRs is game-changing. No more 'does this match the design?' back and forth.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
