This project provides a fully-featured, hackable Next.js AI chatbot template, designed for developers looking to quickly build and deploy sophisticated conversational AI applications. It leverages modern Next.js features and the AI SDK for a robust and performant user experience.

How It Works

The chatbot utilizes Next.js App Router for advanced routing and React Server Components (RSCs) and Server Actions for efficient server-side rendering. It integrates the AI SDK for a unified API to interact with various Large Language Models (LLMs), supporting text generation, structured objects, and tool calls. The UI is built with shadcn/ui and Radix UI components, styled with Tailwind CSS, ensuring accessibility and flexibility. Data persistence is handled via Neon Serverless Postgres for chat history and Vercel Blob for file storage, with Auth.js providing authentication.
