Reviewer scorecard
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
