Overview
Two reference apps for embedding OpenAI ChatKit: one self-hosted integration where you run the ChatKit backend yourself, and one managed integration that connects the widget to a hosted Agent Builder workflow. The root README is a two-line index, setup lives in each subfolder, and seed data lists Next.js plus Python. For teams committed to ChatKit who want the smallest working wiring.
Who it is for: Teams adopting OpenAI ChatKit
Strengths
- Smallest ChatKit wiring published by OpenAI itself
- Shows self-hosted and managed hosting modes side by side
Weaknesses
- Root README has no setup, env or port details
- No auth, database, tests or Docker
- Locked to OpenAI ChatKit and Agent Builder
What it needs
- Python, openai, chatkit
- Needs openai-api-key
