What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps frontend teams rapidly configure and integrate OpenAI ChatKit into a Next.js application, removing repetitive setup tasks and ensuring consistent authentication, domain allowlisting, and a polished chat UI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Environment configuration: Add domain allowlist keys and keys to environment files to securely run ChatKit in your app.
  • UI component: Build a reusable chat widget that communicates with your backend via /api/chat and displays messages, history, and tool calls.
  • Authentication integration: Tie ChatKit interactions to Better Auth session to protect chat data.
  • API integration: Post user messages to the /api/chat endpoint with a conversation_id to maintain context across messages.
  • Use cases: Ideal for building customer support chats, internal assist apps, or AI chatbots embedded in Next.js frontends.

Quick Start

  • Add environment keys to .env.local: NEXT_PUBLIC_CHAT_KIT_PUBLIC_KEY=your_chatkit_public_key CHAT_KIT_SECRET=your_chatkit_secret_key CHAT_KIT_INSTANCE_ID=your_instance_id NEXT_PUBLIC_ALLOWED_DOMAINS=localhost:3000,yourdomain.com
  • Implement the ChatWidget component and wrap the app with the Better Auth session provider.
