2# Vercel AI SDK, Next.js, and Perplexity.ai Chat Example

This example shows how to use the Vercel AI SDK with Next.js and Perplexity.ai to create a ChatGPT-like AI-powered streaming chat bot. Perplexity's APIs are compatible with OpenAI's so we use the OpenAI JS SDK but change its base URL to point to Perplexity's API with an environment variable.

Deploy your own

Deploy the example using Vercel:

How to use

Execute create-next-app with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example https://github.com/vercel/ai/tree/main/examples/next-perplexity next-perplexity-app

yarn create next-app --example https://github.com/vercel/ai/tree/main/examples/next-perplexity next-perplexity-app

pnpm create next-app --example https://github.com/vercel/ai/tree/main/examples/next-perplexity next-perplexity-app

To run the example locally you need to:

1. Sign up at Perplexity.ai's Developer Platform.
2. Go to Perplexity.ai's dashboard and create an API KEY.
3. Set the required environment variables as shown the example env file but in a new file called .env.local
