What AI patterns are included out of the box?

Prompt input with attachments, Markdown responses, citations, feedback (thumbs, star ratings, free text), model selection and comparison, voice recording, file upload, sessions, share, refinement, loaders, and empty states.

How do I wire real model streaming?

Each recipe ships mock data hooks with commented TODOs that show where to call your API. Swap in your LLM SDK (for example, Vercel AI SDK) and add streaming there.

What accessibility guarantees do you make?

Keyboard nav, ARIA labels, focus management, and WCAG AA color contrast are built in.

How does the design token system work?

CSS custom properties map directly into the Tailwind theme. We ship the token map so your design system stays consistent across components.

What’s not included?

No backend or model account. The kit focuses on the frontend UX layer.

Is it mobile-ready and performant?

Yes. Components are responsive and minimal by design.

Can I use this for client work?

Yes with an Agency license. It allows client delivery and handoff.

AI Chat UI Kit & Chatbot Template — AI Chat UI Kit: Chatbot Template with Citations, Voice & Model Comparison for Next.js

AI Chat Components & UI Building Blocks

Building AI chat interfaces from scratch wastes weeks on solved UX problems. This AI chat UI kit gives you production-ready React components for every prompt flow, response, and feedback loop your AI product needs:

Prompt input areas with keyboard-friendly focus states

Markdown response rendering plus code blocks with syntax highlighting

Feedback UIs for collecting user ratings or reactions. Loading indicators, system messages, and retry patterns.

Model selector, choose-model modal, and side-by-side model comparison

All built with TailwindCSS, structured to be developer-friendly and accessible by default

Citation & Safety Components for AI Chat Interfaces

Beyond prompt inputs, streaming responses, and feedback capture, this AI chat UI kit includes citations (clickable source blocks, keyboard-navigable), safety indicators for content moderation and filtered states, and conversation history—session-aware hooks to persist and restore chat threads. These React AI components handle edge cases like network failures and long streaming responses so you focus on your model integration.

WCAG AA Accessible AI Chat Components

AI products that skip accessibility exclude millions of users and often fail procurement for enterprise and government. The AI UX Kit ships with WCAG AA–aligned components and documentation you can reference in RFPs—so accessible AI interfaces are built in, not retrofitted.
