## What it is
An open-source Next.js chatbot template powered by Google Gemini and the Vercel AI SDK, with streaming chat, generative UI, chat history persistence, and authentication. It ships as a deployable starter app with one-click Vercel deployment and swappable LLM providers.

## Use cases
- build a chatbot with google gemini
- deploy my own ai chat app on vercel
- next.js chatbot template with streaming responses
- chat app with saved chat history and login
- switch between openai anthropic and gemini providers
- generative ui chat interface starter
- self-host an open source chatgpt alternative

## When to choose
- you want a production-ready Next.js chatbot starter with auth and persistence
- you prefer Google Gemini as the default model but want provider flexibility via the AI SDK
- you deploy on Vercel and want one-click setup with Vercel Postgres and Blob storage

## When to avoid
- you need a backend-agnostic library rather than a full Next.js application
- you want a framework-free or non-React chat frontend
- you need fine-grained control over the chat implementation and would rather build from scratch
