# Vercel AI SDK image generator

> This example Next.js project uses the Vercel AI SDK to generate images from a prompt.

## Overview

This demo is a full stack example that uses the following:

* A [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) app using [shadcn](https://ui.shadcn.com/) for the UI
* Our 'useRealtimeRun' [React hook](/realtime/react-hooks/subscribe#userealtimerun) to subscribe to the run and show updates on the frontend
* The [Vercel AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/introduction) to [generate images](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-core/image-generation) using OpenAI's DALL-E models

## Relevant code

* View the Trigger.dev task code which generates the image using the Vercel AI SDK in [src/trigger/realtime-generate-image.ts](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/examples/tree/main/vercel-ai-sdk-image-generator/src/trigger/realtime-generate-image.ts).
* We use a [useRealtimeRun](/realtime/react-hooks/subscribe#userealtimerun) hook to subscribe to the run in [src/app/processing/\[id\]/ProcessingContent.tsx](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/examples/tree/main/vercel-ai-sdk-image-generator/src/app/processing/\[id]/ProcessingContent.tsx).
