SDK
Developer kits for shipping AI product surfaces: streaming, tools, structured output, provider routing, and UI state. Best for app builders who need primitives rather than a full agent platform.
category decision read
operator question
Is the team building AI product surfaces, not just using AI coding tools?
evaluation lens
Judge by streaming UX, tool-call ergonomics, structured output, provider flexibility, and app integration cost.
use when
Use this lane when the work is shipping AI features into an application experience.
avoid when
Avoid this lane when the problem is coding assistance, review automation, or integration governance rather than product UI delivery.
adoption tradeoff
SDKs accelerate product delivery, but they do not replace decisions about agent state, workflow ownership, or safety boundaries.
