AI SDK
The AI SDK is a TypeScript toolkit designed to help you build AI-powered applications using popular frameworks like Next.js, React, Svelte, Vue and runtimes like Node.js.
To learn more about how to use the AI SDK, check out our API Reference and Documentation.
Installation
You will need Node.js 18+ and pnpm installed on your local development machine.
npm install aiUsage
AI SDK Core
The AI SDK Core module provides a unified API to interact with model providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more.
You will then install the model provider of your choice.
npm install @ai-sdk/openai@/index.ts (Node.js Runtime)
import { generateText } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai'; // Ensure OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable is set
const { text } = await generateText({
model: openai('gpt-4o'),
system: 'You are a friendly assistant!',
prompt: 'Why is the sky blue?',
});
console.log(text);AI SDK UI
The AI SDK UI module provides a set of hooks that help you build chatbots and generative user interfaces. These hooks are framework agnostic, so they can be used in Next.js, React, Svelte, Vue, and SolidJS.
@/app/page.tsx (Next.js App Router)
'use client';
import { useChat } from 'ai/react';
export default function Page() {
const { messages, input, handleSubmit, handleInputChange, isLoading } =
useChat();
return (
<div>
{messages.map(message => (
<div key={message.id}>
<div>{message.role}</div>
<div>{message.content}</div>
</div>
))}
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<input
value={input}
placeholder="Send a message..."
onChange={handleInputChange}
disabled={isLoading}
/>
</form>
</div>
);
}@/app/api/chat/route.ts (Next.js App Router)
import { streamText } from 'ai';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
export async function POST(req: Request) {
const { messages } = await req.json();
const result = streamText({
model: openai('gpt-4o'),
system: 'You are a helpful assistant.',
messages,
});
return result.toDataStreamResponse();
}Templates
We've built templates that include AI SDK integrations for different use cases, providers, and frameworks. You can use these templates to get started with your AI-powered application.
Community
The AI SDK community can be found on GitHub Discussions where you can ask questions, voice ideas, and share your projects with other people.
