agent-chat-ui
A Next.js frontend that connects to any LangGraph server exposing a messages key: enter the deployment URL and assistant ID (or set them as env vars) and you get streaming chat, tool-call rendering, human-in-the-loop interrupts and an artifacts side panel. A built-in API passthrough route injects your LangSmith key server-side for production. For teams that have a LangGraph backend and need a UI today.
Who it is for: Teams with a LangGraph backend that need a chat UI
Strengths
- Works against local and deployed LangGraph servers with no backend changes
- Hosted version at agentchat.vercel.app and an npx scaffold
- Message hiding and artifact rendering conventions are documented
- Tests included; committed within the last two days
Weaknesses
- The passthrough proxy does not authenticate callers; README warns it exposes your deployment
- Production auth requires custom LangGraph authentication and code edits
- LangGraph SDK only; no AG-UI or AI SDK stream support
- No persistence of its own; threads live in the LangGraph server
- TypeScript, langgraph
- Needs langgraph-server, langsmith-api-key-for-deployed-servers
- env example file
stockbot-on-groq
A Next.js chatbot forked from the Vercel AI Chatbot template where Llama 3 70B on Groq picks a tool and the UI renders a TradingView widget: price charts, financials, news, market overview, screeners, heatmaps and trending lists. Two sequential model calls produce the tool choice and the reply, one secret (GROQ_API_KEY) runs it, and there is no auth or persistence. For developers who want a worked example of tool-driven generative UI.
Who it is for: Developers wanting a worked example of tool-driven generative UI
Strengths
- Nine widget types show the tool-to-component mapping end to end
- Hosted demo at groq-stockbot.vercel.app
- Single env var to run
Weaknesses
- Groq-only; model pinned to Llama 3 70B in prompts
- Widgets are TradingView embeds, not your own data
- No auth, history or tests
- Last commit 2025-12
- TypeScript, groq, ai-sdk
- Needs groq-api-key
- env example file
