Build prompt

Copy as-is, then replace the variables

Build a production-minded AI chat application for [AUDIENCE] that helps them [PRIMARY JOB]. Use [MODEL PROVIDERS] behind one clear product experience.

Start by defining the smallest useful end-to-end workflow, then implement it with realistic sample data and working interactions.

Core experience:
- A responsive thread list with new chat, rename, search, pin, archive, and delete-with-confirmation.
- A conversation view with token-by-token streaming, stop generation, regenerate, edit-and-resend, copy, and branch from a message.
- A composer with multiline input, file attachments, drag and drop, model selection, and three context-aware starter prompts.
- Distinct rendering for markdown, code, tables, citations, uploaded files, tool calls, and recoverable errors.
- A model switcher that explains speed, capability, and cost in plain language without inventing benchmarks.

Trust and control:
- Show when a tool is requested, what data it receives, its current state, and its result.
- Require explicit approval before any tool that writes, purchases, publishes, emails, or deletes.
- Separate cited facts from model interpretation and let users open every source.
- Make privacy, retention, and model-provider boundaries visible near the relevant action.

Product states:
- First use, empty history, uploading, streaming, stopped, rate limited, offline, tool failure, context limit, and successful recovery.
- Persist conversations locally or with [DATA LAYER], and never expose provider keys in client code.
- Preserve the draft and attachments after a failed send.

Visual direction: [VISUAL DIRECTION]. Optimize for long reading sessions, keyboard use, mobile composing, and clear hierarchy. Avoid decorative AI gradients, glowing orbs, and unexplained magic-sparkle icons.

Before finishing, test a normal answer, a cited answer, an attachment, a tool requiring approval, a stopped generation, and a failed request. Verify accessible names, focus order, reduced motion, and narrow-screen behavior.

How to use this prompt

Customize the brief before generating

  1. 01

    Replace every variable

    Use your real project details for audience, primary job, model providers and the remaining placeholders.

  2. 02

    Remove unnecessary scope

    Delete pages, states, integrations, or visual requirements that do not support the first useful version.

  3. 03

    Add hard constraints

    Specify the framework, existing design system, content, data source, accessibility target, and anything the agent must preserve.

  4. 04

    Test the outcome

    Judge the result against this target: A responsive AI chat product prototype that behaves like an application rather than a styled message list.

Expected outcome

A responsive AI chat product prototype that behaves like an application rather than a styled message list.

Why it works

  • Converts the most useful patterns from Vercel’s popular chatbot template into an implementation-neutral product brief.
  • Treats tools, citations, approvals, and data boundaries as trust features rather than decorative badges.
  • Defines failure and recovery behavior that shallow AI chat mockups usually omit.
Variables to customize
[AUDIENCE]Example: independent researchers
[PRIMARY JOB]Example: turn mixed sources into a cited briefing
[MODEL PROVIDERS]Example: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google
[DATA LAYER]Example: Postgres with per-user access controls
[VISUAL DIRECTION]Example: quiet editorial workspace with dense, readable typography
