The Vercel AI SDK provides React hooks, streaming utilities, and provider abstractions for building AI-powered UIs. Works with any LLM provider. The standard for AI web apps.
Reviewer scorecard
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
