New Components and Features

AI Elements 1.9 adds powerful new building blocks for developers creating AI-powered interfaces. The library now includes:

  • JSXPreview Component: Dynamically renders JSX strings with native support for streaming scenarios. Automatically closes unclosed tags as content arrives, making it ideal for real-time AI-generated UI display.
  • PromptInputActionAddScreenshot Sub-component: Extends the PromptInput component with screenshot capture capabilities, allowing you to send visual context to AI models for enhanced understanding.
  • Conversation Download: The Conversation component now supports exporting chat history as markdown files.

Developers can now install the AI Elements skill directly into their preferred agent framework, improving the agent's understanding of how to compose and use AI interface elements effectively:

npx skills add vercel/ai-elements --skill ai-elements
