This kit provides pre-built, customizable UI components for building AI chatbots, leveraging the shadcn/ui ecosystem. It targets developers seeking to rapidly create visually appealing and functional chatbots with advanced features like file attachments and voice input, while maintaining full control over their codebase.

How It Works

The kit is built entirely on shadcn/ui, utilizing its composable component architecture and CSS variable-based theming. This approach allows for deep customization and seamless integration into existing shadcn/ui projects. Key features include a rich chat interface with animations, advanced file attachment previews, and planned integrations for LLM reasoning visualization and tool execution states.
