Vercel AI SDK Overview Tutorial | Generative UI, Streaming, Agentic Tool Functions

In this video, I'll be walking you through my generative AI project and diving deep into the code! We'll explore how I'm using the Vercel AI SDK to build a dynamic UI that responds to AI-generated content. Here's what we'll cover: Vercel AI SDK Deep Dive: Learn about the core, UI, and RSC (server components) parts of the Vercel AI SDK. Discover how to use different providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. Server Actions Explained: See how Next.js 14 server actions power the generative elements of the app, managing AI state and UI state. Dynamic UI Generation: I'll show you how to create tools that trigger specific functions based on AI decisions. Learn how to dynamically generate React components (grids, charts, etc.) using user input and Zod schemas. -------------------------------------- Links Personal Site https://dylanboudro.com Improve your Developer Productivity with Raycast https://raycast.com/?via=dylan-boudro Try out Eleven Labs AI Voice https://try.elevenlabs.io/ud6esi0e3u0j ----------------------------------- Code Walkthrough: app/api/route.ts: Streaming text using the Vercel AI SDK and OpenAI (or other providers). app/actions.ts: The heart of the generative AI functionality!
