Open Deep Research

An Open-Source clone of Open AI's Deep Research experiment. Instead of using a fine-tuned version of o3, this method uses Firecrawl's extract + search with a reasoning model to deep research the web.

Check out the demo here

Features

Firecrawl Search + Extract
- Feed realtime data to the AI via search
- Extract structured data from multiple websites via extract
Next.js App Router
- Advanced routing for seamless navigation and performance
- React Server Components (RSCs) and Server Actions for server-side rendering and increased performance
AI SDK
- Unified API for generating text, structured objects, and tool calls with LLMs
- Hooks for building dynamic chat and generative user interfaces
- Supports OpenAI (default), Anthropic, Cohere, and other model providers
shadcn/ui
- Styling with Tailwind CSS
- Component primitives from Radix UI for accessibility and flexibility
Data Persistence
- Vercel Postgres powered by Neon for saving chat history and user data
- Vercel Blob for efficient file storage
NextAuth.js
- Simple and secure authentication

Model Providers

This template ships with OpenAI gpt-4o as the default. However, with the AI SDK, you can switch LLM providers to OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and many more with just a few lines of code.

Deploy Your Own

You can deploy your own version of the Next.js AI Chatbot to Vercel with one click:

Running locally

You will need to use the environment variables defined in .env.example to run Next.js AI Chatbot. It's recommended you use Vercel Environment Variables for this, but a .env file is all that is necessary.

Note: You should not commit your .env file or it will expose secrets that will allow others to control access to your various OpenAI and authentication provider accounts.

Install Vercel CLI: npm i -g vercel
Link local instance with Vercel and GitHub accounts (creates .vercel directory): vercel link
Download your environment variables: vercel env pull

1. First install all dependencies

pnpm install

2. Then run database migrations

pnpm db:migrate

3. Run the app

pnpm dev

Your app template should now be running on localhost:3000.
