The Next.js AI Chatbot template has been updated to use [AI SDK 3.0](https://vercel.com/blog/ai-sdk-3-generative-ui) with React Server Components.

We've included [Generative UI](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/concepts/ai-rsc) examples so you can get quickly create rich chat interfaces beyond just plain text. The chatbot has also been upgraded to the latest [Next.js App Router](https://nextjs.org/docs/app) and [Shadcn UI](https://ui.shadcn.com/).

Lastly, we've simplified the default authentication setup by removing the need to create a GitHub OAuth application prior to initial deployment. This will make it faster to deploy and also easier for open source contributors to use [Vercel Preview Deployments](https://vercel.com/features/previews) when they make changes.

[Try the demo](https://chat.vercel.ai) or [deploy your own](https://vercel.com/templates/Next.js/nextjs-ai-chatbot).
