AI Functions Examples

The examples/ai-functions/ directory contains scripts for validating, testing, and iterating on AI SDK functions across providers.

Example Categories

Examples are organized by AI SDK function in examples/ai-functions/src/:

File Naming Convention

Examples follow the pattern: {provider}-{feature}.ts

Example Structure

All examples use the run() wrapper from lib/run.ts which:

• Loads environment variables from .env
• Provides error handling with detailed API error logging

Basic Template

import { providerName } from '@ai-sdk/provider-name';
import { generateText } from 'ai';
import { run } from '../lib/run';

run(async () => {
  const result = await generateText({
    model: providerName('model-id'),
    prompt: 'Your prompt here.',
  });

  console.log(result.text);
  console.log('Token usage:', result.usage);
  console.log('Finish reason:', result.finishReason);
});

Streaming Template

import { providerName } from '@ai-sdk/provider-name';
import { streamText } from 'ai';
import { printFullStream } from '../lib/print-full-stream';
import { run } from '../lib/run';

run(async () => {
  const result = streamText({
    model: providerName('model-id'),
    prompt: 'Your prompt here.',
  });

  await printFullStream({ result });
});

Tool Calling Template

import { providerName } from '@ai-sdk/provider-name';
import { generateText, tool } from 'ai';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { run } from '../lib/run';

run(async () => {
  const result = await generateText({
    model: providerName('model-id'),
    tools: {
      myTool: tool({
        description: 'Tool description',
        inputSchema: z.object({
          param: z.string().describe('Parameter description'),
        }),
        execute: async ({ param }) => {
          return { result: `Processed: ${param}` };
        },
      }),
    },
    prompt: 'Use the tool to...',
  });

  console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
});

Structured Output Template

import { providerName } from '@ai-sdk/provider-name';
import { generateObject } from 'ai';
import { z } from 'zod';
import { run } from '../lib/run';

run(async () => {
  const result = await generateObject({
    model: providerName('model-id'),
    schema: z.object({
      name: z.string(),
      items: z.array(z.string()),
    }),
    prompt: 'Generate a...',
  });

  console.log(JSON.stringify(result.object, null, 2));
  console.log('Token usage:', result.usage);
});

Running Examples

From the examples/ai-functions directory:

pnpm tsx src/generate-text/openai.ts
pnpm tsx src/stream-text/openai-tool-call.ts
pnpm tsx src/agent/openai-generate.ts

When to Write Examples

Write examples when:

1. Adding a new provider: Create basic examples for each supported API (generateText, streamText, generateObject, etc.)

2. Implementing a new feature: Demonstrate the feature with at least one provider example

3. Reproducing a bug: Create an example that shows the issue for debugging

4. Adding provider-specific options: Show how to use providerOptions for provider-specific settings

5. Creating test fixtures: Use examples to generate API response fixtures (see capture-api-response-test-fixture skill)

Utility Helpers

The lib/ directory contains shared utilities:

Using print utilities

import { print } from '../lib/print';

// Pretty print objects without undefined values
print('Result:', result);

How to use develop-ai-functions-example on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
1
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add develop-ai-functions-example
2
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
$npx skills add https://github.com/vercel/ai --skill develop-ai-functions-examplecopy
The skills CLI fetches develop-ai-functions-example from GitHub repository vercel/ai and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│   • Amp
│   • Antigravity
│   • Cline
│   • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│   • Cursor
│   • Windsurf

Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/develop-ai-functions-example
Reload or restart Cursor to activate develop-ai-functions-example. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /develop-ai-functions-example) or your agent's skill management interface.
⚠
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.
