[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FTheExplainthis%2Fai-chatbot&env=NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME,NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL,NEXT_PUBLIC_LOGO_URL,NEXT_PUBLIC_EMPTY_SCREEN_TITLE,NEXT_PUBLIC_EMPTY_SCREEN_DESC&project-name=ai-chatbot&repository-name=my-ai-chatbot&demo-title=AI%20%E8%81%8A%E5%A4%A9%E6%A9%9F%E5%99%A8%E4%BA%BA&demo-description=AI%20%E8%81%8A%E5%A4%A9%E6%A9%9F%E5%99%A8%E4%BA%BA)

## Running locally

You will need to use the environment variables [defined in `.env.example`](.env.example) to run this Chatbot. It's recommended you use [Vercel Environment Variables](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/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`

```bash
pnpm install
pnpm dev
```

Your app template should now be running on [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/).
