Free AI Chatbot with source code. See how to setup a 100% free chatbot using Vercel, Github, next.js
I will show you how to setup a free Chatbot that contains the source code with it. It also uses a new KV (redis) database from Vercel. This is a free AI Chatbot using OpenAI account and a key for it. Vercel.com provides a free Hobby account and a free AI chatbot template to make this possible with one click (well maybe more than that but still...)
I also use a free Github account to host a copy of the AI Chatbot source code. This app uses nextjs for authentication. You login using your Github credentials. We use secure env (environment) variables to hold critical data needed by this web application.
The source code can also work with Anthropic, Hugging Face, or custom AI chat models and/or LangChain. I open the AI Chatbot source code briefly inside Microsoft VS CODE editor.
I show how you can enable some very useful (free) website Speed Insights, FCP - First Contentful Paint, and things like that.
In a future video I plan to also show how to setup Vercel Analytics in this hosted web application.
