Summary

The blog post discusses the challenges of building conversational AI features using standard HTTP streaming and introduces the Ably AI Transport SDK as a solution to these issues. Traditional methods face problems such as losing in-progress streams when a connection drops, lack of multi-device continuity, and difficulties in managing multi-client coordination and concurrent interactions. The Ably AI Transport SDK addresses these by using Ably channels to create a durable session layer that supports resumable streaming and multi-client interactions, abstracting away the complexities of managing concurrent turns and message relationships. This SDK allows developers to build robust AI streaming applications without altering their existing tech stack, using a codec model to bridge different provider and framework event schemas, and is already being used in production with support for platforms like the Vercel AI SDK.
