The availability of high-quality AI model APIs has drastically lowered the barriers developing AI applications. These tools abstract away complex tasks such as model deployment, scaling, data retrieval, natural language processing, and text generation.

Vercel has developed a complementary set of tools for building AI web applications, including their AI SDK, v0, and the shadcn/ui component framework.

Ary Khandelwal and Max Leiter are on the AI team at Vercel. In this episode they join Kevin Ball to talk about the AI SDK, v0, shadcn/ui and the AI tooling ecosystem at Vercel.
