Build an AI Chatbot with Next.js, TypeScript & LM Studio (Local LLMs + AI-SDK)
In this video, we’ll build a fully functional AI chatbot using:
• Next.js 15.5 (App Directory)
• TypeScript (because I can’t live without it 😅)
• AI-SDK by Vercel
• LM Studio to run local AI models
• Tailwind CSS for styling
You’ll learn how to set up the UI, connect the client to the server, configure LM Studio, and stream responses from a locally running LLM. All code is available in my GitHub (from the first commit to the final result).
By the end, you’ll have a working chatbot that uses your own local AI model instead of relying on the cloud. 🚀
