Note: Development of AI SDK RSC is currently paused. For more information, see Migrating from AI SDK RSC.

This example demonstrates how to use the Vercel AI SDK with Next.js and the streamUI function to create generative user interfaces by streaming React Server Components to the client.

Run create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example https://github.com/vercel-labs/ai-sdk-preview-rsc-genui ai-sdk-preview-rsc-genui-example

yarn create next-app --example https://github.com/vercel-labs/ai-sdk-preview-rsc-genui ai-sdk-preview-rsc-genui-example

pnpm create next-app --example https://github.com/vercel-labs/ai-sdk-preview-rsc-genui ai-sdk-preview-rsc-genui-example

To run the example locally you need to:

1. Sign up for accounts with the AI providers you want to use (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic).
2. Obtain API keys for each provider.
3. Set the required environment variables as shown in the .env.example file, but in a new file called .env.
4. npm install to install the required dependencies.
5. npm run dev to launch the development server.
