Reviewer scorecard
“Step functions with automatic retries and state management. The event-driven model is perfect for complex workflows.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“Durable execution without managing queues or state machines. The abstraction level is exactly right.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“Durable workflows are essential infrastructure for AI agents and complex async operations. Inngest is well-positioned.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
