Stop Building Chatbots. Build Generative UI with Next.js & Vercel AI SDK
Text is linear. Modern software is spatial. In today's video, we stop building standard chatbots and start building Generative UI.
We are moving from "Streaming Words" to "Streaming Intent". You will learn how to bridge the gap between an LLM's brain and your Design System using the Vercel AI SDK and Next.js. We aren't just dumping text into a div; we are hydrating React components directly from the AI's structured response.
🚀 What we are building: A "Spatial Weather" interface that decides dynamically whether to speak to the user (text) or render a high-density visualization (UI Card).
🛠️ The Stack:
Next.js App Router (Server Actions & Server Components)
Vercel AI SDK (streamText & toolInvocations)
Zod (Schema validation for LLM outputs)
React (Generative UI rendering)
