## Features - [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) App Router - Advanced routing for seamless navigation and performance - React Server Components (RSCs) and Server Actions for server-side rendering and increased performance - [AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs) - Unified API for generating text, structured objects, and tool calls with LLMs - Hooks for building dynamic chat and generative user interfaces - Supports xAI (default), OpenAI, Fireworks, and other model providers - [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com) - Styling with [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com) - Component primitives from [Radix UI](https://radix-ui.com) for accessibility and flexibility - Data Persistence - [Neon Serverless Postgres](https://vercel.com/marketplace/neon) for saving chat history and user data - [Vercel Blob](https://vercel.com/storage/blob) for efficient file storage - [Auth.js](https://authjs.dev) - Simple and secure authentication ## Model Providers This template ships with [xAI](https://x.ai) `grok-2-1212` as the default chat model. However, with the [AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs), you can switch LLM providers to [OpenAI](https://openai.com), [Anthropic](https://anthropic.com), [Cohere](https://cohere.com/), and [many more](https://sdk.vercel.ai/providers/ai-sdk-providers) with just a few lines of code. ## Deploy Your Own You can deploy your own version of the Next.js AI Chatbot to Vercel with one click: [![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fvercel%2Fai-chatbot&env=AUTH_SECRET&envDescription=Generate%20a%20random%20secret%20to%20use%20for%20authentication&envLink=https%3A%2F%2Fgenerate-secret.vercel.app%2F32&project-name=my-awesome-chatbot&repository-name=my-awesome-chatbot&demo-title=AI%20Chatbot&demo-description=An%20Open-Source%20AI%20Chatbot%20Template%20Built%20With%20Next.js%20and%20the%20AI%20SDK%20by%20Vercel&demo-url=https%3A%2F%2Fchat.vercel.ai&products=%5B%7B%22type%22%3A%22integration%22%2C%22protocol%22%3A%22ai%22%2C%22productSlug%22%3A%22grok%22%2C%22integrationSlug%22%3A%22xai%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22integration%22%2C%22protocol%22%3A%22storage%22%2C%22productSlug%22%3A%22neon%22%2C%22integrationSlug%22%3A%22neon%22%7D%2C%7B%22type%22%3A%22blob%22%7D%5D) ## Running locally You will need to use the environment variables [defined in `.env.example`](.env.example) to run Next.js AI Chatbot. It's recommended you use [Vercel Environment Variables](https://vercel.com/docs/projects/environment-variables) for this, but a `.env` file is all that is necessary. > Note: You should not commit your `.env` file or it will expose secrets that will allow others to control access to your various AI and authentication provider accounts. 1. Install Vercel CLI: `npm i -g vercel` 2. Link local instance with Vercel and GitHub accounts (creates `.vercel` directory): `vercel link` 3. Download your environment variables: `vercel env pull` ```bash pnpm install pnpm dev ``` Your app template should now be running on [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
