Stream AI text token-by-token to your Next.js frontend using the Vercel AI SDK's streamText and useCompletion hook. This production-ready pattern delivers real-time responses that feel snappy and alive — the same streaming architecture used by ChatGPT and Claude.ai.
- Build chat interfaces where responses appear character-by-character
- Stream long-form content like articles or code without waiting
- Display AI progress for slow model calls with live updates
