# Future support for GraphQL streaming in useChat?

I’m exploring a chat project that would be well suited to a `useChat` frontend. The out-of-the-box features and long-term support as an open source project are very appealing. Unfortunately, the project is locked into a GraphQL + websocket backend that would require some middleware to covert to a REST API. 

Are there any plans to support GraphQL streaming in the future? (sorry for the duplicate topic, I accidentally deleted the first one)

Thanks for your question, Josh! :smiley: 

I don't know the plans from the AI SDK team to support this, but I've just asked internally. Will loop back!

Hi @joshkadis 

`useChat` is flexible about how it communicates with an API using the `transport` option. Did you have a chance to look into it yet? https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/ai-sdk-ui/transport
