## What it is
An official OpenAI quickstart template demonstrating the Assistants API in a Next.js application. It includes example pages for basic chat, streaming, function calling, code interpreter, and file search, with reusable chat components and API handlers.

## Use cases
- build a chatbot with the OpenAI Assistants API
- learn how to stream assistant responses in Next.js
- add function calling to an OpenAI assistant
- implement file search over documents with an assistant
- get a starter template for an AI chat web app
- use code interpreter in a web application

## When to choose
- you want an official, maintained example of the Assistants API
- you're starting a Next.js app with OpenAI assistants and want copyable chat logic
- you need working examples of streaming, tool use, and function calling together

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready chat product rather than a template
- you're not using Next.js or the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem
- you're building on the newer Responses API or Agents SDK instead of the Assistants API
