A full-featured, hackable Next.js AI chatbot template built by Vercel on top of the AI SDK, with chat history persistence, authentication, artifacts, and multimodal support. It ships with shadcn/ui components, Auth.js authentication, Neon Postgres and Vercel Blob storage, and one-click deployment to Vercel.

Use cases

• build a custom ai chatbot app
• deploy my own chatgpt-like assistant
• nextjs chatbot starter template with auth and chat history
• chatbot with artifacts like claude or canvas
• self-host a chatbot with multiple llm providers
• add generative ui and tool calls to a chat app
• multimodal chatbot with file and image uploads

When to choose

• you want a production-quality, hackable chatbot foundation on Next.js and React
• you plan to deploy on Vercel with Neon Postgres and Vercel Blob
• you need built-in auth, chat sharing, artifacts, and streaming responses
• you want to swap between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and other providers via the AI SDK

When to avoid

• you need a simple embeddable chat widget rather than a full application
• you are not using the React/Next.js ecosystem
• you want a backend-agnostic or non-Vercel-first deployment without extra setup
• you need a lightweight library to add chat to an existing app instead of a template
