About Vercel AI SDK

A TypeScript toolkit for building AI-powered applications and APIs.

Vercel AI SDK is a TypeScript library that gives developers a unified interface for working with language models, embedding models, and other AI capabilities across multiple providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. It handles the low-level details of streaming responses, structured output, and provider-specific APIs so developers can focus on building chat interfaces, text generation pipelines, and other AI features. It targets JavaScript and TypeScript developers building on Node.js, edge runtimes, or frameworks like Next.js.

Where to start

Start with the AI SDK documentation at ai-sdk.dev/docs, which covers core concepts and guides for common use cases. From there, pick a provider package (such as the OpenAI provider) that matches the model APIs you want to use.
