AI Chat Assistant Integration - React/Next.js Frontend

About the Project We're looking for someone to build a small AI-powered UI feature as a proof-of-concept.

What You'll Build A simple chat or AI search widget using React/Next.js Integration with an AI API (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) to handle responses Basic UI with a message input, response display, and loading state Clean, working demo we can run locally or view live What We're Looking For Experience with React.js, Next.js, Node.js, and JavaScript Comfortable integrating LLM APIs into a frontend Able to deliver a clean, working demo quickly Bonus: experience with streaming responses or simple state management (Zustand, Context API, etc.) To Apply Please briefly describe how you'd approach this and link to any similar AI-powered frontend projects you've built.
