@@ -21,3 +21,81 @@ This is a next.js project that is the front end for chartsmith.
 - We aren't using Next.JS API routes, except when absolutely necessary.
 - 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.

+### Streaming Chat (AI SDK) - Conversational Q&A
+- **API Route**: `/api/chat` uses AI SDK Core's `streamText` for real-time streaming
+- **Frontend**: `AIChatContainer` component uses `useChat` hook from `@ai-sdk/react`
+- **Provider**: Configurable via `LLM_PROVIDER` env var (anthropic, openai)
+- **Tools**: `getLatestSubchartVersion`, `getLatestKubernetesVersion`
+- **Auto-response**: Automatically responds to unanswered user messages (e.g., from workspace creation)
+
+### Complex Workflows (Go + Centrifugo) - Plans, Renders, Conversions
+- **Plans, Renders, Conversions**: Handled by Go backend worker
+- **Realtime updates**: Streamed via Centrifugo pub/sub
+- **Intent detection**: Uses Groq in Go backend for speed
+- **File modifications**: Go worker handles all chart file changes
+
+### Key Files
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `lib/llm/provider.ts` | LLM provider configuration and model selection |
+| `lib/llm/system-prompts.ts` | System prompts (matches Go `pkg/llm/system.go`) |
+| `lib/llm/message-adapter.ts` | Converts between DB messages and AI SDK format |
+| `app/api/chat/route.ts` | Streaming API endpoint with tool support |
+| `components/AIChatContainer.tsx` | AI SDK chat UI with streaming |
+| `hooks/useChartsmithChat.ts` | Custom hook wrapping `useChat` |
+| `lib/workspace/actions/save-ai-chat-message.ts` | Persists AI chat messages to DB |
+
+### Feature Flag
+Set `USE_AI_SDK_CHAT=true` in `.env.local` to enable the new AI SDK chat in workspaces.
+When disabled (default), workspaces use the existing Centrifugo-based `ChatContainer`.
+
+### Provider Switching
+```bash
+# Anthropic (default)
+LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic
+LLM_MODEL=claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
+
+# OpenAI
+LLM_PROVIDER=openai
+LLM_MODEL=gpt-4o
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+```
+
+### Message Flow
+1. User sends message via `AIChatContainer` input
+2. `useChat` hook calls `/api/chat` with message history
+3. API route builds system prompt based on role (auto/developer/operator)
+4. `streamText` streams response from LLM
+5. On completion, message is saved to DB via `saveAIChatMessageAction`
+6. Tool calls (e.g., chart version lookup) are executed inline
+
+### Testing
+```bash
+npm run test:unit    # Jest unit tests (message-adapter, etc.)
+npm run test:e2e     # Playwright API tests
+npm run build        # TypeScript compilation check
+```
+
