What is AI SDK

The AI SDK is a TypeScript toolkit designed to help developers build AI-powered applications using frameworks like React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, and Node.js. It simplifies the integration of large language models (LLMs) into applications by providing a unified API for generating text, structured data, and tool calls. The SDK also includes framework-agnostic hooks for building chat and generative user interfaces.
