AI Gateway Text Generation Quickstart

Use a coding agent

Text

Stream a text response through AI Gateway.

Copy page

Paste this prompt into a coding agent with terminal access:

Add streaming text generation through AI Gateway in the current environment. Use the AI Gateway skill for this task. If it is unavailable, run npx skills add vercel/vercel-plugin --skill ai-gateway, then find and read its SKILL.md before continuing. Reuse the environment's language, framework, package manager, and AI client when possible, and add only required dependencies. Read AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY from the environment. If it is missing, run npx vercel@latest whoami and pause for login if needed. Determine the team, then run npx vercel@latest --scope ai-gateway api-keys create --name . Capture stdout directly into AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY for the request or existing ignored secret storage, and never expose the value. Use openai/gpt-6-astra, stream the generated text, run the result, and report the output.

Run the Node.js example

Use Node.js 22.18 or later and a team with available AI Gateway Credits. Export AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY in your current shell. If you need a key, open the Create API Key dialog.


Install the AI SDK:

Create index.mts:

export AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY="your_ai_gateway_api_key"

pnpm addai@latest

}

constresult=streamText({

model:'openai/gpt-6-astra',

});

console.log();

import { streamText } from'ai';

process.stdout.write(textPart);
