Vercel Chat SDK ships an Instagram adapter for DM bots
One agent codebase now reaches Instagram's inbox across 14 platforms; Cline joins the AI SDK harness and Anthropic's Workbench becomes Playground.
Copy markdown
One import, Instagram DMs
Add the Instagram adapter and your agent handles IG direct messages, media, quick-reply cards, typing indicators, story replies, and reactions. Catch: it needs a Business or Creator account, and Meta only lets bots reply within 24 hours of the user's last message.
14 platforms, one codebase
The Chat SDK (npm i chat) now spans Slack, Teams, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, X, Messenger, Notion, GitHub, Linear, Twilio, and Web — plus Instagram. Write the agent once and deploy the same handler to every inbox, with signed webhooks and typed Meta API errors.
Cline joins the AI SDK harness
The @ai-sdk/harness-cline package lets you drive Cline through AI SDK's standard HarnessAgent interface — the same one that wraps Claude Code, Codex, and Pi. Swap coding harnesses behind one API and stream their output into your own tools.
Anthropic's Workbench is now Playground
The Claude Console's prompt lab, renamed Playground, gains full Messages API support plus templates for code execution and web search that print the exact SDK request and API response — copy-paste starting points for your integration.
Elsewhere: bump your OpenAI Python SDK
OpenAI's Python SDK v3.3.1 landed with security and bug fixes. If your backend calls the API in production, pin the update now rather than waiting for a dependabot nudge.
