chatbot
Clone it and you get a Next.js App Router chat app on the AI SDK with Auth.js login, chat history in Neon Postgres through Drizzle migrations, file uploads to Vercel Blob and a streaming UI on shadcn/ui. Models route through Vercel AI Gateway; Mistral, Moonshot, DeepSeek, OpenAI and xAI are preconfigured in lib/ai/models.ts. For teams starting a chat product on Vercel who want auth and persistence wired on day one.

- Off Vercel you must set AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY and replace Blob storage
- No Docker or compose files
- TypeScript, ai-gateway, ai-sdk, openai, mistral
- Needs postgres, vercel-blob, ai-gateway-api-key
- GitHub template
- env example file
- sign-in: Auth.js
twitterbio
A one-page Next.js app: a form builds a prompt, sends it to Together AI and streams the reply back, with two open models wired (Qwen 3.5 9B with thinking off, GPT OSS 20B with a reasoning indicator). Nothing else is included: no auth, no database, no tests. For developers who want the smallest prompt-to-text starter to grow from.
Who it is for: Developers wanting a minimal prompt-to-text page

- Deployed live example at twitterbio.io
Weaknesses
- No auth, database, rate limiting or tests
- Tied to Together AI; no provider layer
- Single feature; most of a product is still to build
