What's Missing in Standard Vercel AI SDK Architecture
While Vercel AI SDK offers powerful AI features, there's no system to identify users who haven't tried AI functionality and guide them to discover value.
Standard Vercel AI SDK Flow vs Optimized Skene Flow
User has access to Vercel AI SDK features
Features available but usage not monitored
No activation prompts for unused features
Monitor Vercel AI SDK usage patterns and feature adoption
Identify users who haven't used key features
Trigger feature discovery emails with examples and use cases
Track feature adoption and send advanced usage guides

How Skene Fixes This
The Skene infrastructure for Vercel AI SDK monitors AI feature usage and automatically celebrates when users first achieve value through AI, while sending discovery prompts to inactive users.
Implementation Comparison
Using Skene Infrastructure
Install via Prompt
@task: Initialize Skene.
@action: Analyze my local code, validating subscription via `npx skene login`, and generate `skene.config.ts` to implement the AI Activation pattern for Vercel AI SDK.Copy Skene Prompt for Cursor
Generated skene.config.ts
