Hey everyone,
I'm super excited to share a new solution for those of us wanting to integrate streaming AI responses into our FlutterFlow projects. Because FlutterFlow's native API implimentation doesn't support the "streaming" return of their responses (at least, right now), so we've all been looking for alternatives.
Other people have suggested solutions using custom code that effectively just replace Flutterflow's API functionality with a version that supports streaming, but these always seemed to be WAY more code for this "low code" environment.
Sop this is a solution that I've built on top of BuildShip, which is a low-code back-end builder that has support for v2 Assistants (the ones that include streaming) AND pairs really nicely with FlutterFlow, and *trusty 'ol Firebase' to "stream" the response back to Flutterflow.
