Overview
Chat AI was created as a hands-on experiment with Vercel's AI SDK, focused on understanding how an AI-powered conversation experience can be integrated into a web application.
Rather than starting from a business problem, the project started from a technical question: how can conversational AI become a native part of a web application?
The Experiment
The project explores the fundamentals of connecting a web interface to an AI model, handling conversations, streaming responses, and building the interaction layer around the model.
Wins
Chat AI served as a practical playground for exploring AI integration beyond simply calling an API. It helped me work with conversational state, streamed model responses, and the architecture required to bring an AI model into a real interactive web experience.
