You can deploy your own version of the Next.js AI Chatbot to Vercel with one click:
You will need to use the environment variables defined in .env.example to run Next.js AI Chatbot. It's recommended you use Vercel Environment Variables for this, but a .env file is all that is necessary.
Note: You should not commit your
.envfile or it will expose secrets that will allow others to control access to your various OpenAI and authentication provider accounts.

npm i -g vercel - Link local instance with Vercel and GitHub accounts (creates
.verceldirectory):vercel link - Download your environment variables:
vercel env pull
pnpm install
