Best for

  • Building chat applications with streaming responses and conversation state management
  • Implementing AI features with structured outputs using Zod schema validation
  • Creating AI agents with tool calling capabilities for external API integration
  • Setting up multi-provider LLM architecture with fallback and cost optimization
  • Developing real-time AI features in Next.js with proper error handling and loading states

What you'll get

  • Complete Next.js API route with streamText() implementation, proper error handling, and TypeScript types
  • React component using useChat() hook with streaming UI, loading states, and message persistence logic
  • AI agent configuration with tool definitions, Zod schemas, and multi-step execution handling
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Training or fine-tuning custom LLM models from scratch
  • ×Building AI applications outside of Next.js/React ecosystem
  • ×Complex multi-agent orchestration requiring specialized frameworks
  • ×Direct provider SDK integration without Vercel AI SDK abstractions
Expects

Clear requirements for the AI feature including interaction pattern, streaming needs, output format, and target LLM provider with existing Next.js project setup.

Returns

Production-ready AI SDK implementation with proper TypeScript types, streaming handlers, error boundaries, and optimized provider configuration.
