# Flask + Vercel

This example shows how to use Flask and AI SDK on Vercel with Serverless Functions using the [Python Runtime](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/serverless-functions/runtimes/python).

## Demo

https://ai-sdk-preview-flask.vercel.app/api/generate?prompt="hey!"

## How it Works

This example uses the Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) with Flask to handle requests on Vercel with Serverless Functions.

## Running Locally

```bash
npm i -g vercel
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv sync  # or alternatively pip install flask gunicorn
gunicorn main:app
```

Your Flask application is now available at `http://localhost:3000`.
