+
+- **TypeScript (Vercel AI SDK)**: Handles intent classification and conversational chat streaming via `/api/chat`
+- **Go (Anthropic SDK)**: Handles plan generation and plan execution (file edits via computer use)
+
+See `chartsmith-app/ARCHITECTURE.md` for detailed AI integration documentation.

 This is a next.js project that is the front end for chartsmith.
 
+## AI Integration
+
+This application uses Vercel AI SDK for LLM interactions:
+
+- **Provider**: `@ai-sdk/anthropic` - Anthropic Claude models
+- **UI Hook**: `useChat` from `@ai-sdk/react` - Manages chat state and streaming
+- **Core**: `streamText` from `ai` - Handles streaming in API routes
+
+### Chat Flow
+1. User sends message via `ChatContainer` component
+2. `useAIChat` hook (wrapping `useChat`) sends request to `/api/chat` endpoint
+3. API route uses `streamText` with context from workspace (chart structure, files, plan history)
+4. Response streams directly to client via HTTP
+5. Completed messages are persisted to database
+
+### Intent Classification
+- Uses AI SDK `generateText` to classify user messages as "plan" or "chat"
+- Plan intents are routed to Go backend for execution
+- Chat intents are handled directly via AI SDK streaming
+
+### Key Files
+- `lib/ai/provider.ts` - Anthropic provider and model configuration
+- `lib/ai/context.ts` - Builds workspace context for LLM calls
+- `app/api/chat/route.ts` - Streaming chat endpoint with tool support
+- `hooks/useAIChat.ts` - Chat hook wrapper with workspace-specific logic
+- `lib/llm/prompt-type.ts` - Intent classification
+
+### Non-Chat Real-time Events
+Centrifugo WebSocket is still used for:
+- Render progress updates
+- Artifact/file changes
+- Plan status updates
+- Revision creation notifications
+
 ## Monaco Editor Implementation
 - Avoid recreating editor instances
 - Use a single editor instance with model swapping for better performance
 - Properly clean up models to prevent memory leaks
 - We want to make sure that we don't show a "Loading..." state because it causes a lot of UI flashes.
 
-## State managemnet
+## State management
 - Do not pass onChange and other callbacks through to child components
 - We use jotai for state, each component should be able to get or set the state it needs
 - Each component subscribes to the relevant atoms. This is preferred over callbacks.
 
 ## SSR
-- We use server side rendering to avoid the "loading" state whenever possible. 
+- We use server side rendering to avoid the "loading" state whenever possible.
 - Move code that requires "use client" into separate controls.
 
 ## Database and functions
-- We aren't using Next.JS API routes, except when absolutely necessary.
-- Front end should call server actions, which call lib/* functions.
+- We use Next.js API routes only for AI chat streaming (`/api/chat`), which requires HTTP streaming that server actions cannot provide.
+- For all other operations, front end should call server actions, which call lib/* functions.
 - Database queries are not allowed in the server action. Server actions are just wrappers for which lib functions we expose.

+# Vercel AI SDK Migration Implementation Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+Migrate Chartsmith from a custom chat implementation (Anthropic SDK + Centrifugo WebSocket) to Vercel AI SDK. This modernizes both the frontend (using `useChat` hook) and backend (using `streamText`), while maintaining existing functionality including tool calling, file context, and real-time updates.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### Architecture
+The current implementation uses a queue-based architecture:
+1. **Frontend** (`ChatContainer.tsx`): Uses Jotai atoms for state, calls server actions to create messages
+2. **PostgreSQL Queue**: Messages are inserted and work is enqueued via `pg_notify`
+3. **Go Workers** (`pkg/llm/`): Process messages, call Anthropic API with streaming
+4. **Centrifugo**: Broadcasts streaming updates via WebSocket to frontend
+5. **useCentrifugo hook**: Receives WebSocket events and updates Jotai atoms
+
+### Key Files
+- `chartsmith-app/lib/llm/prompt-type.ts:1-50` - Only TypeScript Anthropic SDK usage (intent classification)
+- `chartsmith-app/components/ChatContainer.tsx` - Main chat UI component
+- `chartsmith-app/hooks/useCentrifugo.ts` - WebSocket event handling
+- `chartsmith-app/atoms/workspace.ts` - Jotai atoms for state
+- `pkg/llm/conversational.go` - Go streaming chat with tool calling
+- `pkg/llm/plan.go` - Plan generation
+- `pkg/realtime/centrifugo.go` - Real-time event publishing
+
+### Key Discoveries
+- TypeScript Anthropic SDK is only used for intent classification (`promptType` function)
+- Go handles all main LLM work with streaming via channels
+- Tool calling exists for `latest_subchart_version` and `latest_kubernetes_version`
+- Centrifugo handles multiple event types beyond chat (renders, artifacts, plans)
+- Messages include context: chart structure, relevant files, previous chat history
+
+## Desired End State
+
+After migration:
+1. **Frontend**: `useChat` hook manages chat state with HTTP streaming
+2. **Backend**: Next.js API route uses `streamText` for LLM calls
+3. **Centrifugo**: Continues handling non-chat real-time events (renders, artifacts, revisions)
+4. **Go Workers**: Continue handling non-LLM work (renders, summarization, file processing)
+
+### Verification
+- Chat messages stream correctly in the UI
+- Tool calling works (get latest versions)
+- File context is included in prompts
+- Previous conversation history is maintained
+- All existing chat functionality works (plan vs conversational intent)
+- Provider can be easily swapped (Anthropic to OpenAI, etc.)
+
+## What We're NOT Doing
+
+- **NOT** replacing Centrifugo entirely - it's still needed for renders, artifacts, and other real-time events
+- **NOT** migrating Go workers for non-LLM tasks (renders, summarization)
+- **NOT** changing the database schema
+- **NOT** modifying the plan execution flow (that uses different streaming patterns)
+- **NOT** changing the conversion (K8s to Helm) flow initially
+
+## Implementation Approach
+
+The migration follows a hybrid approach:
+1. Keep Centrifugo for non-chat real-time events
+2. Move chat streaming from Centrifugo to HTTP streaming via AI SDK
+3. Migrate LLM logic from Go to Next.js API routes
+4. Use `useChat` hook for chat-specific state, Jotai for workspace state
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Setup AI SDK Dependencies
+
+### Overview
+Install and configure Vercel AI SDK packages and Anthropic provider.
+
+### Changes Required:
+
+#### 1. Install Dependencies
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/package.json`
+**Changes**: Add AI SDK packages
+
+```bash
+cd chartsmith-app && npm install ai @ai-sdk/anthropic @ai-sdk/react
+```
+
+#### 2. Configure Anthropic Provider
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/lib/ai/provider.ts` (new file)
+**Changes**: Create provider configuration
+
+```typescript
+import { createAnthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic';
+
+export const anthropic = createAnthropic({
+  apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
+});
+
+// Default model for chat
+export const chatModel = anthropic('claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219');
+
+// Model for intent classification (faster/cheaper)
+export const intentModel = anthropic('claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022');
+```
+
+### Success Criteria:
+
+#### Automated Verification:
+- [x] Dependencies install without errors: `cd chartsmith-app && npm install`
+- [x] TypeScript compiles: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run build`
+- [x] No linting errors: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run lint`
+
+#### Manual Verification:
+- [x] Application starts successfully: `npm run dev`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Migrate Intent Classification
+
+### Overview
+Replace the direct `@anthropic-ai/sdk` usage in `prompt-type.ts` with AI SDK's `generateText`.
+
+### Changes Required:
+
+#### 1. Update prompt-type.ts
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/lib/llm/prompt-type.ts`
+**Changes**: Replace Anthropic SDK with AI SDK
+
+```typescript
+import { generateText } from 'ai';
+import { intentModel } from '@/lib/ai/provider';
+import { logger } from "@/lib/utils/logger";
+
+export enum PromptType {
+  Plan = "plan",
+  Chat = "chat",
+}
+
+export enum PromptRole {
+  Packager = "packager",
+  User = "user",
+}
+
+export interface PromptIntent {
+  intent: PromptType;
+  role: PromptRole;
+}
+
+export async function promptType(message: string): Promise<PromptType> {
+  try {
+    const { text } = await generateText({
+      model: intentModel,
+      system: `You are ChartSmith, an expert at creating Helm charts for Kubernetes.
+You are invited to participate in an existing conversation between a user and an expert.
+The expert just provided a recommendation on how to plan the Helm chart to the user.
+The user is about to ask a question.
+You should decide if the user is asking for a change to the plan/chart, or if they are just asking a conversational question.
+Be exceptionally brief and precise in your response.
+Only say "plan" or "chat" in your response.`,
+      prompt: message,
+      maxTokens: 1024,
+    });
+
+    if (text.toLowerCase().includes("plan")) {
+      return PromptType.Plan;
+    } else {
+      return PromptType.Chat;
+    }
+  } catch (err) {
+    logger.error("Error determining prompt type", err);
+    throw err;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Success Criteria:
+
+#### Automated Verification:
+- [x] TypeScript compiles: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run build`
+- [x] No linting errors: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run lint`
+
+#### Manual Verification:
+- [ ] Intent classification works correctly when typing a message
+- [ ] "plan" type messages trigger plan creation
+- [ ] "chat" type messages trigger conversational response
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Create Chat API Route
+
+### Overview
+Create a Next.js API route that handles chat messages with streaming using AI SDK.
+
+### Changes Required:
+
+#### 1. Create Chat API Route
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/app/api/chat/route.ts` (new file)
+**Changes**: Implement streaming chat endpoint
+
+```typescript
+import { streamText, tool, convertToModelMessages, UIMessage } from 'ai';
+import { chatModel } from '@/lib/ai/provider';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+import { getWorkspaceContext } from '@/lib/ai/context';
+
+export const maxDuration = 60;
+
+export async function POST(req: Request) {
+  const { messages, workspaceId, chartId }: {
+    messages: UIMessage[];
+    workspaceId: string;
+    chartId?: string;
+  } = await req.json();
+
+  // Get workspace context (chart structure, relevant files, etc.)
+  const context = await getWorkspaceContext(workspaceId, chartId, messages);
+
+  const result = streamText({
+    model: chatModel,
+    system: context.systemPrompt,
+    messages: convertToModelMessages(messages),
+    tools: {
+      latest_subchart_version: tool({
+        description: 'Return the latest version of a subchart from name',
+        parameters: z.object({
+          chart_name: z.string().describe('The subchart name to get the latest version of'),
+        }),
+        execute: async ({ chart_name }) => {
+          // Call the existing recommendation service
+          const response = await fetch(
+            `${process.env.INTERNAL_API_URL}/api/recommendations/subchart/${encodeURIComponent(chart_name)}`
+          );
+          if (!response.ok) return '?';
+          const data = await response.json();
+          return data.version || '?';
+        },
+      }),
+      latest_kubernetes_version: tool({
+        description: 'Return the latest version of Kubernetes',
+        parameters: z.object({
+          semver_field: z.enum(['major', 'minor', 'patch']).describe('One of major, minor, or patch'),
+        }),
+        execute: async ({ semver_field }) => {
+          switch (semver_field) {
+            case 'major': return '1';
+            case 'minor': return '1.32';
+            case 'patch': return '1.32.1';
+            default: return '1.32.1';
+          }
+        },
+      }),
+    },
+    maxTokens: 8192,
+  });
+
+  return result.toUIMessageStreamResponse();
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Create Context Helper
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/lib/ai/context.ts` (new file)
+**Changes**: Build context for LLM calls
+
+```typescript
+import { getWorkspace, listFilesForWorkspace } from '@/lib/workspace/workspace';
+import { getMostRecentPlan, listChatMessagesAfterPlan } from '@/lib/workspace/workspace';
+import { UIMessage } from 'ai';
+
+const CHAT_SYSTEM_PROMPT = `You are ChartSmith, an AI assistant specialized in creating and managing Helm charts for Kubernetes.
+You help developers and operators understand, modify, and improve their Helm charts.
+Be helpful, concise, and technical when appropriate.`;
+
+const CHAT_INSTRUCTIONS = `When answering questions:
+1. Consider the chart structure and existing files
+2. Reference specific files when relevant
+3. Provide code examples when helpful
+4. Be aware of Helm best practices`;
+
+export interface WorkspaceContext {
+  systemPrompt: string;
+  chartStructure: string;
+  relevantFiles: Array<{ path: string; content: string }>;
+}
+
+export async function getWorkspaceContext(
+  workspaceId: string,
+  chartId?: string,
+  messages?: UIMessage[]
+): Promise<WorkspaceContext> {
+  const workspace = await getWorkspace(workspaceId);
+  if (!workspace) {
+    throw new Error(`Workspace not found: ${workspaceId}`);
+  }
+
+  // Get chart structure
+  const chart = chartId
+    ? workspace.charts.find(c => c.id === chartId)
+    : workspace.charts[0];
+
+  const chartStructure = chart
+    ? chart.files.map(f => `File: ${f.filePath}`).join('\n')
+    : '';
+
+  // Get relevant files (limit to 10)
+  const files = await listFilesForWorkspace(workspaceId, workspace.currentRevisionNumber);
+  const relevantFiles = files.slice(0, 10).map(f => ({
+    path: f.filePath,
+    content: f.content,
+  }));
+
+  // Build system prompt with context
+  let systemPrompt = CHAT_SYSTEM_PROMPT + '\n\n' + CHAT_INSTRUCTIONS;
+
+  if (chartStructure) {
+    systemPrompt += `\n\nCurrent chart structure:\n${chartStructure}`;
+  }
+
+  // Add relevant file contents
+  for (const file of relevantFiles) {
+    systemPrompt += `\n\nFile: ${file.path}\n\`\`\`\n${file.content}\n\`\`\``;
+  }
+
+  // Get previous plan and chat history if available
+  try {
+    const plan = await getMostRecentPlan(workspaceId);
+    if (plan) {
+      systemPrompt += `\n\nMost recent plan:\n${plan.description}`;
+
+      const previousChats = await listChatMessagesAfterPlan(plan.id);
+      if (previousChats.length > 0) {
+        systemPrompt += '\n\nPrevious conversation context:';
+        for (const chat of previousChats.slice(-5)) {
+          if (chat.prompt) systemPrompt += `\nUser: ${chat.prompt}`;
+          if (chat.response) systemPrompt += `\nAssistant: ${chat.response}`;
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  } catch (err) {
+    // No plan exists, continue without it
+  }
+
+  return {
+    systemPrompt,
+    chartStructure,
+    relevantFiles,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Success Criteria:
+
+#### Automated Verification:
+- [x] TypeScript compiles: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run build`
+- [x] No linting errors: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run lint`
+- [x] API route responds to POST requests
+
+#### Manual Verification:
+- [ ] Streaming responses work when calling the API directly
+- [ ] Tool calls return correct values
+- [ ] Context includes chart structure and files
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Migrate ChatContainer to useChat
+
+### Overview
+Replace the custom chat state management with `useChat` hook while keeping Centrifugo for other events.
+
+### Changes Required:
+
+#### 1. Create Chat Hook Wrapper
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/hooks/useAIChat.ts` (new file)
+**Changes**: Wrap useChat with workspace-specific logic
+
+```typescript
+'use client';
+
+import { useChat, Message } from '@ai-sdk/react';
+import { useAtom } from 'jotai';
+import { workspaceAtom } from '@/atoms/workspace';
+import { useCallback, useEffect } from 'react';
+import { createChatMessageAction } from '@/lib/workspace/actions/create-chat-message';
+import { Session } from '@/lib/types/session';
+
+interface UseAIChatProps {
+  session: Session;
+  workspaceId: string;
+}
+
+export function useAIChat({ session, workspaceId }: UseAIChatProps) {
+  const [workspace] = useAtom(workspaceAtom);
+
+  const {
+    messages,
+    input,
+    setInput,
+    handleSubmit: baseHandleSubmit,
+    isLoading,
+    error,
+    stop,
+    reload,
+    append,
+  } = useChat({
+    api: '/api/chat',
+    body: {
+      workspaceId,
+      chartId: workspace?.charts[0]?.id,
+    },
+    onFinish: async (message) => {
+      // Persist the completed message to database for history
+      if (message.role === 'assistant') {
+        await persistMessage(session, workspaceId, message);
+      }
+    },
+  });
+
+  const handleSubmit = useCallback(async (e: React.FormEvent, role?: string) => {
+    e.preventDefault();
+    if (!input.trim() || isLoading) return;
+
+    // Persist user message to database before sending
+    await createChatMessageAction(session, workspaceId, input.trim(), role || 'auto');
+
+    baseHandleSubmit(e);
+  }, [input, isLoading, session, workspaceId, baseHandleSubmit]);
+
+  return {
+    messages,
+    input,
+    setInput,
+    handleSubmit,
+    isLoading,
+    error,
+    stop,
+    reload,
+    append,
+  };
+}
+
+async function persistMessage(session: Session, workspaceId: string, message: Message) {
+  // TODO: Implement message persistence for completed assistant messages
+  // This ensures chat history is saved in the database
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Update ChatContainer
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/components/ChatContainer.tsx`
+**Changes**: Use useAIChat instead of custom implementation
+
+```typescript
+"use client";
+import React, { useState, useRef, useEffect } from "react";
+import { Send, Loader2, Users, Code, User, Sparkles } from "lucide-react";
+import { useTheme } from "../contexts/ThemeContext";
+import { Session } from "@/lib/types/session";
+import { ChatMessage } from "./ChatMessage";
+import { workspaceAtom, isRenderingAtom } from "@/atoms/workspace";
+import { useAtom } from "jotai";
+import { useAIChat } from "@/hooks/useAIChat";
+import { ScrollingContent } from "./ScrollingContent";
+import { NewChartChatMessage } from "./NewChartChatMessage";
+import { NewChartContent } from "./NewChartContent";
+
+interface ChatContainerProps {
+  session: Session;
+}
+
+export function ChatContainer({ session }: ChatContainerProps) {
+  const { theme } = useTheme();
+  const [workspace] = useAtom(workspaceAtom);
+  const [isRendering] = useAtom(isRenderingAtom);
+  const [selectedRole, setSelectedRole] = useState<"auto" | "developer" | "operator">("auto");
+  const [isRoleMenuOpen, setIsRoleMenuOpen] = useState(false);
+  const roleMenuRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
+
+  const {
+    messages,
+    input,
+    setInput,
+    handleSubmit,
+    isLoading,
+    error,
+  } = useAIChat({
+    session,
+    workspaceId: workspace?.id || '',
+  });
+
+  // Close the role menu when clicking outside
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handleClickOutside = (event: MouseEvent) => {
+      if (roleMenuRef.current && !roleMenuRef.current.contains(event.target as Node)) {
+        setIsRoleMenuOpen(false);
+      }
+    };
+
+    document.addEventListener('mousedown', handleClickOutside);
+    return () => {
+      document.removeEventListener('mousedown', handleClickOutside);
+    };
+  }, []);
+
+  if (!workspace) {
+    return null;
+  }
+
+  const onSubmit = (e: React.FormEvent) => {
+    handleSubmit(e, selectedRole);
+  };
+
+  // ... rest of component remains similar but uses messages from useAIChat
+  // and uses isLoading instead of isRendering for send button state
+}
+```
+
+### Success Criteria:
+
+#### Automated Verification:
+- [x] TypeScript compiles: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run build`
+- [x] No linting errors: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run lint`
+
+#### Manual Verification:
+- [ ] Chat messages stream in real-time
+- [ ] Send button shows loading state while streaming
+- [ ] User can stop streaming mid-response
+- [ ] Messages persist to database
+- [ ] Role selection still works
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Integrate with Existing Flows
+
+### Overview
+Connect the AI SDK chat with existing workspace flows (plans, renders, etc.) and ensure Centrifugo still handles non-chat events.
+
+### Changes Required:
+
+#### 1. Update useCentrifugo to Skip Chat Events
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/hooks/useCentrifugo.ts`
+**Changes**: Only handle non-chat events since chat is now via HTTP streaming
+
+The `handleChatMessageUpdated` callback should now only update for system-generated messages (renders, plans), not for streaming chat responses which are handled by `useChat`.
+
+#### 2. Create Plan Intent Handler
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/app/api/chat/plan/route.ts` (new file)
+**Changes**: Handle plan-type intents that require different processing
+
+```typescript
+import { streamText, convertToModelMessages, UIMessage } from 'ai';
+import { chatModel } from '@/lib/ai/provider';
+import { createPlan } from '@/lib/workspace/workspace';
+import { enqueueWork } from '@/lib/utils/queue';
+
+export async function POST(req: Request) {
+  const { messages, workspaceId, userId }: {
+    messages: UIMessage[];
+    workspaceId: string;
+    userId: string;
+  } = await req.json();
+
+  // Create plan record and enqueue for Go worker processing
+  // Plans still use Go backend for execution
+  const lastMessage = messages[messages.length - 1];
+  const plan = await createPlan(userId, workspaceId, lastMessage.id);
+
+  await enqueueWork("new_plan", {
+    planId: plan.id,
+  });
+
+  // Return the plan ID for tracking
+  return Response.json({ planId: plan.id });
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Update Message Persistence
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/lib/workspace/actions/persist-ai-message.ts` (new file)
+**Changes**: Persist AI SDK messages to database
+
+```typescript
+"use server"
+
+import { Message } from 'ai';
+import { getDB } from "@/lib/data/db";
+import { getParam } from "@/lib/data/param";
+import * as srs from "secure-random-string";
+
+export async function persistAIMessageAction(
+  workspaceId: string,
+  userId: string,
+  message: Message
+): Promise<void> {
+  const client = getDB(await getParam("DB_URI"));
+  const chatMessageId = srs.default({ length: 12, alphanumeric: true });
+
+  const workspaceResult = await client.query(
+    `SELECT current_revision_number FROM workspace WHERE id = $1`,
+    [workspaceId]
+  );
+
+  if (workspaceResult.rows.length === 0) {
+    throw new Error(`Workspace not found: ${workspaceId}`);
+  }
+
+  const currentRevisionNumber = workspaceResult.rows[0].current_revision_number;
+
+  await client.query(
+    `INSERT INTO workspace_chat (
+      id, workspace_id, created_at, sent_by, prompt, response,
+      revision_number, is_canceled, is_intent_complete,
+      is_intent_conversational, is_intent_plan, is_intent_off_topic
+    ) VALUES ($1, $2, now(), $3, $4, $5, $6, false, true, true, false, false)`,
+    [
+      chatMessageId,
+      workspaceId,
+      userId,
+      message.role === 'user' ? message.content : null,
+      message.role === 'assistant' ? message.content : null,
+      currentRevisionNumber,
+    ]
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Success Criteria:
+
+#### Automated Verification:
+- [x] TypeScript compiles: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run build`
+- [x] No linting errors: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run lint`
+
+#### Manual Verification:
+- [ ] Plan intents are correctly detected and trigger plan creation
+- [ ] Render events still work via Centrifugo
+- [ ] Artifact updates still work via Centrifugo
+- [ ] Chat history persists correctly in database
+- [ ] Previous conversation context is included in prompts
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Cleanup and Testing
+
+### Overview
+Remove deprecated code, update tests, and verify all functionality.
+
+### Changes Required:
+
+#### 1. Remove Direct Anthropic SDK Dependency
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/package.json`
+**Changes**: Remove `@anthropic-ai/sdk` dependency (after confirming all uses are migrated)
+
+#### 2. Update ARCHITECTURE.md
+**File**: `chartsmith-app/ARCHITECTURE.md`
+**Changes**: Document the new AI SDK integration
+
+```markdown
+## AI Integration
+
+This application uses Vercel AI SDK for LLM interactions:
+
+- **Provider**: `@ai-sdk/anthropic` - Anthropic Claude models
+- **UI Hook**: `useChat` from `@ai-sdk/react` - Manages chat state and streaming
+- **Core**: `streamText` from `ai` - Handles streaming in API routes
+
+### Chat Flow
+1. User sends message via `ChatContainer` component
+2. `useChat` hook sends request to `/api/chat` endpoint
+3. API route uses `streamText` with context from workspace
+4. Response streams directly to client via HTTP
+5. Completed messages are persisted to database
+
+### Non-Chat Real-time Events
+Centrifugo WebSocket is still used for:
+- Render progress updates
+- Artifact/file changes
+- Plan status updates
+- Revision creation notifications
+```
+
+#### 3. Update Tests
+**File**: Various test files
+**Changes**: Update tests to work with AI SDK mocks
+
+### Success Criteria:
+
+#### Automated Verification:
+- [x] Full build succeeds: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run build`
+- [x] All tests pass: `cd chartsmith-app && npm test` (unit tests pass; e2e tests have env config issue)
+- [x] Linting passes: `cd chartsmith-app && npm run lint`
+- [x] No unused dependencies: `npm audit` (pre-existing vulnerabilities in dev deps only)
+
+#### Manual Verification:
+- [ ] Create a new chart via chat - streaming works
+- [ ] Ask conversational questions - responses are helpful
+- [ ] Request chart modifications - plans are created
+- [ ] Helm render output displays correctly
+- [ ] Multiple messages maintain conversation context
+- [ ] Application handles errors gracefully
+- [ ] Provider could be swapped (test with mock OpenAI)
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+- [x] Test intent classification returns correct types (`lib/llm/__tests__/prompt-type.test.ts`)
+- [x] Test context builder includes chart structure (`lib/ai/__tests__/context.test.ts`)
+- [x] Test tool handlers return correct values (`app/api/chat/__tests__/route.test.ts`)
+- [x] Test message persistence saves correctly (`lib/workspace/actions/__tests__/persist-ai-message.test.ts`)
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Test full chat flow from UI to database
+- Test streaming responses render correctly
+- Test Centrifugo events still work for renders
+
+### Manual Testing Steps
+1. Start application: `npm run dev`
+2. Create new workspace
+3. Type a question and verify streaming response
+4. Ask for a chart modification and verify plan is created
+5. Check that previous messages provide context
+6. Verify helm render output appears correctly
+7. Check database for persisted messages
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- HTTP streaming is more efficient than WebSocket for chat (direct connection)
+- Keep Centrifugo for pub/sub style updates (renders to multiple tabs)
+- Context window limits: Cap file content included in prompts
+- Token usage: Monitor with AI SDK's usage tracking
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### Breaking Changes
+- Chat responses now stream via HTTP instead of Centrifugo
+- `messagesAtom` usage changes for chat (now from useChat)
+
+### Rollback Plan
+If issues arise:
+1. Keep old `createChatMessageAction` with `enqueueWork("new_intent")`
+2. Revert ChatContainer to use messagesAtom
+3. AI SDK code can coexist with old implementation
+
+### Go Backend Impact
+- `pkg/llm/conversational.go` will no longer be called for chat
+- `pkg/listener/new_intent.go` chat handling can be removed
+- Keep Go LLM for plans and specialized operations initially
+
+## Implementation Notes (2025-12-10)
+
+### Model Configuration Changes
+
+The original plan specified older model versions that are no longer available. Updated to:
+
+**TypeScript (AI SDK)** - `chartsmith-app/lib/ai/provider.ts`:
+- `chatModel`: `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`
+- `intentModel`: `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`
+
+**Go Backend** - `pkg/llm/execute-action.go`:
+- `Model_Sonnet4`: `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929` (used for plan execution)
+- Added `TextEditor_Sonnet4`: `text_editor_20250514`
+
+### AI SDK Streaming Enabled by Default
+
+Changed `ChatContainer.tsx` to enable AI SDK streaming by default:
+```typescript
+const [useAIStreaming, setUseAIStreaming] = useState(true);
+```
+
+### Architecture Clarification
+
+- **AI SDK (TypeScript)**: Handles intent classification + conversational chat streaming
