Introducing nlux: The AI Chatbot Library for React and JS Developers

Conversational AI is taking off, and chatbots powered by large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are becoming a must-have for many apps and websites. As a React developer, you want a simple way to build a great chat interface backed by these incredible LLMs. That's where nlux comes in.

What is nlux?

nlux is an open-source React and Vanilla JS library that makes it easy to integrate LLMs like ChatGPT into your app and create natural conversational experiences for your users. With nlux, you get:

• Quick Setup - nlux has zero dependencies and integrates seamlessly with Create React App. You can be up and running with a basic chatbot interface in minutes.
• Customizable and Extendable - While nlux comes with great defaults, you can customize every part of the UI with CSS and React components. It's also easy to extend by adding your own adapters to connect to different chatbot APIs.
• Optimized Performance - nlux is built for speed. Features like message streaming give a smooth conversational experience. The vanilla JS version also allows for blazing fast non-React apps.
• Full-Featured - Out of the box, nlux supports system messages, theming, attachments, user inputs, and more. The API is designed to be comprehensive yet simple.
• Cross-Platform - Use nlux to build for the web, mobile, desktop apps, you name it. The React components provide a consistent interface everywhere.

So if you're looking to add an AI assistant or chatbot to your app, look no further than nlux. Its simplicity, customizability, and focus on performance makes it the perfect choice.
