Running locally
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 .env file or it will expose secrets that will allow others to control access to your various OpenAI and authentication provider accounts.

Install Vercel CLI: npm i -g vercel
Link local instance with Vercel and GitHub accounts (creates .vercel directory): vercel link
Download your environment variables: vercel env pull
pnpm install
pnpm dev
Your app template should now be running on localhost:3000.
