Real-time Stream

The following is a detailed example demonstrating real-time message streaming. Given the current popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs), I've opted to showcase real-time streaming using Google's Gemini AI, which generously offers free API usage. This example can easily be extended to interact with other providers such in the OpenAI example or even your own custom endpoints.

However, you will need to acquire your own API key for testing within this editor. It's important to highlight that streaming functionality is exclusively supported through the params.streamMessage parameter, as illustrated below. If you are unable to obtain an API key but would still like to visualize the streaming in action, you may wish to check out the simulated stream example.

caution

This is for testing purposes only, do not embed your API keys on your website in production. You may refer to this article for more details.
