Build AI agents that chain multiple tool calls in sequence using the Vercel AI SDK's maxSteps option. Each step's output feeds the next, creating powerful pipelines where the LLM plans, executes, observes results, and adapts — all within a single streamText call.
- Research agents that search, read pages, and synthesize answers in one run
- Data processing pipelines with fetch, transform, and store steps
- Coding assistants that read files, understand context, then write changes
- Booking bots that check availability, confirm details, then complete reservations
