Build an AI Chatbot App in 10 Minutes

AI chatbots are everywhere — customer support, personal assistants, coding helpers. Here is how to build your own chatbot UI in minutes.

What You Will Build

A complete chat application with: - Message history with user/AI bubbles - Typing indicator animation - Input field with send button - Chat history sidebar - Dark mode interface

The Prompt

"Build an AI chatbot app with a chat interface, message bubbles for user and AI, a typing indicator, message history sidebar, and a dark theme with purple accents."

How It Works

Flexity.AI generates the full application: 1. Chat interface — message bubbles with timestamps 2. Input area — text field with send button and Enter key support 3. Typing animation — dots animating while "AI" responds 4. History sidebar — previous conversations listed 5. Responsive design — works on mobile with collapsible sidebar

Adding Real AI

The generated app uses local state for demo interactivity. To connect real AI: 1. Add your API key via Flexity Cloud Secrets 2. Create a server function in api/chat.js 3. Replace the mock response with a real API call

Flexity Cloud handles the backend — no separate server needed.

Customization Ideas

• "Add markdown rendering for AI responses"
• "Include code syntax highlighting in messages"
• "Add a model selector dropdown (GPT, Claude, Gemini)"
• "Show token count for each message"
