Important

This is a fork of the next-ai-rsc example by Ido Pesok (@ido_pesok) - Energize AI

The three benefits of this fork are:

• Uses ai-actions to store the tools
• @ to select tools
• Code interpreter with tools

ai-actions still does not have up to date documentation, feel free to DM me on Twitter/X if you need help or have questions.

render vs createStreamableUI

There are two Action Registries in this repo, one relies on the render method and one relies on the createStreamableUI method. I did both on purpose to show how to use both methods.

Hopefully the examples are clear enough, but TLDR is you can setRenderFunction on an action or you can just pass the result of createStreamableUI to the setActionFunction method as context. Contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.

Deploy Your Own

You can deploy your own version of the demo to Vercel with one click:

Running locally

You will need to use the environment variables defined in .env.example to run Next.js AI Chatbot. It's recommended you use Vercel 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 OpenAI 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

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Your app should now be running on localhost:3000.
