AI Chat Components

The UI half of an AI app is its own problem: streaming text that doesn't jump, reasoning you can collapse, citations that trace to sources, tool calls the user can approve. These components solve exactly that layer. Built on AI Elements and styled with Tailwind, each one drops into a Next.js app with the AI SDK's useChat — open the live preview, copy the source, restyle to match your product.
