# Building basic generative AI web apps

This book teaches how to build web applications that leverage generative artificial intelligence. It guides developers through integrating advanced AI models, such as large language models, into web projects using frameworks like React and Next.js, along with tools like the Vercel AI SDK. Readers will learn the fundamentals of designing, developing, and deploying scalable, AI-powered web experiences, covering concepts from setting up basic generative AI apps to implementing features like text and image generation, and building real-world applications such as AI interview assistants and knowledge management systems.
