What the hour looks like
No slides read aloud. A feature, built.
The session in three movements — watch it happen live, then do it yourself with the template.
app/api/ai/route.ts
// live: shipping an AI feature
const ai = new Anthropic();
export async function POST(req) {
const { prompt } = await req.json();
const stream = await ai.messages.stream({
model: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: prompt }],
});
return stream.toResponse();
}
Forty minutes of live coding — a real feature on a real Next.js app.
