​Next.js is the modern standard for shipping fast, scalable, full-stack applications — and AI Kit is the missing layer that turns it into a production-ready AI platform. This workshop is dedicated to teaching you how to architect, build, and deploy powerful AI-Native applications using Next.js, Server Actions, Edge Runtime, and the full AI Kit ecosystem.

​Whether you’re building AI dashboards, agent systems, chat interfaces, multimodal apps, or enterprise AI workflows, this Framework Day will show you how to combine Next.js with AI Kit and ZeroDB for an unbeatable developer experience.

​🌟 What You’ll Learn

​1️⃣ Next.js + AI Kit Architecture

​Understand how to design scalable AI-native applications using:

• ​App Router

• ​Server Components

• ​Server Actions

• ​Middleware

• ​Edge functions

• ​Secure API routes

​We’ll cover best practices for running AI inference at the edge and how to keep latency low while maintaining strong security guarantees.

​2️⃣ Server-Side AI with AI Kit - Next.js

​Leverage AI Kit’s Next.js utilities for:

• ​Streaming completions

• ​On-demand model calls

• ​Chat workflows

• ​Model routing & failover

• ​Server → client data hydration

​import { createAIHandler } from '@ainative/ai-kit-nextjs';

​Build AI without exposing API keys to the client.

​3️⃣ Client-Side UX with AI Kit React

​Combine server-side logic with AI Kit’s React components and hooks:

• ​Chat windows

• ​Tool Invocations

• ​Real-time token streaming

• ​Multistep agent flows

• ​Prompt engineering interfaces

​4️⃣ ZeroDB Integration for AI-Native Apps

​Use ZeroDB as a unified backend to power:

• ​Auto-embeddings and vector search

• ​Hybrid search for RAG

• ​Conversational memory storage

• ​Event-driven AI workflows

• ​RLHF logging for model improvement

​All from within your Next.js app.

​5️⃣ Live Coding + End-to-End Demo

​We will build and deploy a complete Next.js AI application that includes:

• ​Model completions

• ​Chat UI

• ​Tool calls

• ​Memory replay via ZeroDB

• ​A server action pipeline

• ​Vercel deployment

​Attendees get access to the full starter repo.

​🎯 Who Should Attend?

• ​Next.js developers

• ​Full-stack engineers

• ​AI builders & founders

• ​Teams migrating from traditional stacks to AI-native patterns

• ​Anyone who wants to build a polished AI experience with modern web tooling

​If you want to build full-stack, production-ready AI features using Next.js and AI Kit, this workshop gives you everything you need.
