Multi-Modal Chatbot

This template showcases a multi-modal chatbot application built using Next.js and the Vercel AI SDK. It provides a robust foundation for creating interactive chat interfaces capable of sending and receiving diverse message types, including text and attachments, from various AI providers.

Key Features:

• Multi-Modal Messaging: Leverage the useChat hook from the Vercel AI SDK to handle both text and attachment-based inputs and outputs, enabling richer conversational experiences.
• Next.js Integration: Built on the Next.js framework, ensuring optimal performance, server-side rendering capabilities, and a streamlined development workflow.
• Flexible AI Provider Support: Designed to work with the AI provider of your choice (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), allowing for easy integration and switching between different large language models.
• Developer-Friendly Setup: Includes clear instructions for local development, covering dependency installation (npm install), environment variable configuration (using .env based on .env.example), and launching the development server (npm run dev).

Use Cases: This template is ideal for developers looking to quickly prototype or build:

• Advanced Chatbots: Create chatbots that can understand and respond to complex queries involving images or other file types.
• Interactive AI Assistants: Develop AI assistants for customer support, content generation, or data analysis that can process and generate multi-modal content.
• Educational Tools: Build learning platforms where users can interact with AI using various media formats.
