Episode notes
Use Low-Level Primitives Flexibly
- Use low-level primitives in the AI SDK to flexibly build agents, RAG, and tool calls.
- Leverage provided recipes as guides to customize and understand common AI application patterns.
Pull Out Deterministic Tasks
- Pull out deterministic tasks from the LLM to reduce latency, increase accuracy, and improve user experience.
- Use source maps and programmatic changes for predictable UI text editing instead of waiting on model generations.
ShadCN Enables UI Customization
- ShadCN provides accessible, customizable React components as code, not a package.
- This enables developers to tailor UI building blocks freely without third-party dependency constraints.
