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
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
