The availability of high-quality AI model APIs has drastically lowered the barriers to developing AI applications.

These tools abstract away complex tasks such as model deployment, scaling, data retrieval, natural language processing, and text generation.

Versel has developed a complementary set of tools for building AI web applications, including their AI SDK, V-Zero, and the Shad-C-NUI component framework.

Ari Kandelwal and Max Lider are on the AI team at V-Sel.

In this episode, they joined Kevin Ball to talk about the AI SDK,-ZO, Shad-C-NUI, and the AI

tooling ecosystem at Bricel.

Kevin Ball, or K-Ball, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent

coach for engineers and engineering leaders.

He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup,

and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through latent space.

Thank you.

Happy to be here.

So excited.

Yeah.

So let's maybe start out with some intros.

So actually, I'm going to go to Ari first.

Can you introduce yourself a little bit about your background? Yeah, my name is Ari. I was a computer

science student at Princeton. And after graduating, I worked on a design to code startup that

Vselle acquired around a year ago. And after that, I started working on the V0 team,

and I do product and engineering work there.
