ai-sdk-tools
Complete toolkit for building advanced AI applications with the Vercel AI SDK. This package provides everything you need: multi-agent orchestration, state management, caching, artifact streaming, development tools, and persistent memory.
Installation
npm install ai-sdk-toolsThis installs all tools in a single package with namespaced exports.
Peer Dependencies
Depending on which features you use, you may need to install:
npm install ai @ai-sdk/react react react-dom zod zustandWhat's Included
This package includes all AI SDK tools:
agents- Multi-agent orchestration with handoffs and routingartifacts- Structured artifact streaming for React componentscache- Universal caching for AI tool executionsdevtools- Development and debugging toolsmemory- Persistent memory system for AI agentsstore- Zustand-based state management for AI applications
Usage
Import tools directly from the package:
import { Agent, artifact, cached, useChat, AIDevtools, InMemoryProvider } from 'ai-sdk-tools';Multi-Agent Orchestration
Build intelligent workflows with specialized agents:
import { Agent } from 'ai-sdk-tools';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
const supportAgent = new Agent({
model: openai('gpt-4'),
name: 'SupportAgent',
instructions: 'You handle customer support queries.',
});
const billingAgent = new Agent({
model: openai('gpt-4'),
name: 'BillingAgent',
instructions: 'You handle billing and payment issues.',
handoff: [supportAgent], // Can hand off back to support
});
// Support agent can route to billing
supportAgent.handoff = [billingAgent];
const result = await supportAgent.generateText({
prompt: 'I need help with my invoice',
});State Management
Manage chat state globally with Zustand:
import { useChat } from 'ai-sdk-tools';
export const useChatHook = useChat({
api: '/api/chat',
});
// Access chat state from anywhere
function ChatComponent() {
const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit } = useChatHook();
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
{messages.map((msg) => (
<div key={msg.id}>{msg.content}</div>
))}
<input value={input} onChange={handleInputChange} />
</form>
);
}Tool Caching
Cache expensive tool executions to reduce costs and improve performance:
import { cached } from 'ai-sdk-tools';
import { tool } from 'ai';
import { z } from 'zod';
const weatherTool = cached(
tool({
description: 'Get weather for a location',
parameters: z.object({
location: z.string(),
}),
execute: async ({ location }) => {
// Expensive API call
const response = await fetch(`https://api.weather.com/${location}`);
return response.json();
},
}),
{ ttl: 3600 } // Cache for 1 hour
);Artifact Streaming
Stream structured artifacts from AI tools to React components:
import { artifact, useArtifact } from 'ai-sdk-tools';
import { z } from 'zod';
const chartArtifact = artifact({
id: 'chart',
description: 'Generate a chart visualization',
schema: z.object({
data: z.array(z.number()),
title: z.string(),
}),
execute: async ({ data, title }, writer) => {
// Stream progressive updates
await writer.update({ status: 'processing', progress: 50 });
const chartData = processData(data);
return {
type: 'chart',
data: chartData,
title,
};
},
});
// In your React component
const { data, status } = useArtifact(chartArtifact);Development Tools
Debug and monitor your AI applications in real-time:
import { AIDevtools } from 'ai-sdk-tools';
function App() {
return (
<>
<YourChatComponent />
<AIDevtools />
</>
);
}Persistent Memory
Add long-term memory to your agents:
import { Agent, InMemoryProvider } from 'ai-sdk-tools';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
const memoryProvider = new InMemoryProvider();
const agent = new Agent({
model: openai('gpt-4'),
name: 'AssistantAgent',
instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant with memory.',
memory: memoryProvider,
});
// Agent can now remember context across conversationsIndividual Packages
If you only need specific tools, you can install them individually:
npm install @ai-sdk-tools/agents
npm install @ai-sdk-tools/artifacts
npm install @ai-sdk-tools/cache
npm install @ai-sdk-tools/devtools
npm install @ai-sdk-tools/memory
npm install @ai-sdk-tools/storeEach package can be used independently with its own API. See individual package documentation for details.
