 You can call `ModelFusionTextStream` with the result from [streamText](https://modelfusion.dev/guide/function/generate-text#streamtext). This stream is compatible with the Vercel AI SDK and supports the callbacks and stream data features.
 
+To convert Vercel AI SDK messages to ModelFusion messages, use the `asChatMessages` helper.
+
 ## Example: Ollama & Next.js
 
 This is an example for a Next.js app router API route. It uses the ModelFusion [Ollama](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama) integration. For a full example app, check out the [Next.js, Vercel AI SDK, Ollama & ModelFusion starter](https://github.com/lgrammel/modelfusion-ollama-nextjs-starter).
 
 ```ts
