Genkit is a Generative AI library for Dart, enabling developers to integrate large language models (LLMs) and AI capabilities into pure Dart applications, including Flutter apps for Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It provides a unified API for building AI-powered features such as chat interfaces, content generation, and natural language processing directly within client and server environments. Designed for seamless use across platforms, Genkit simplifies the implementation of generative AI workflows without requiring external dependencies or complex configurations.
