derChat - Multipurpose chatbot
derChat is a multipurpose chatbot primarily designed for students, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional subscription-based AI chatbot services. My main goal in building derChat was to facilitate "pay-as-you-go" professional models, allowing students to access a variety of advanced AI models without the financial burden of multiple subscriptions.
The frontend of derChat is built with SvelteKit, ensuring a fast and snappy user experience. Its progressive web app (PWA) capabilities make it accessible and performant even on smartphones with slower connectivity, catering to a wider student demographic.
On the backend, derChat leverages Vercel's AI SDK, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. This robust stack provides a scalable and efficient foundation for handling chat interactions and user data.
Currently, derChat is in its alpha phase, so users might experience some breaking changes as development progresses and new features are integrated.
