In today’s article, I will share what Vercel the platform known for popular hosting has done.

Before we start if you want to take a deep dive into running a successful AI-based SaaS business and want to know all the key strategies and points then I’ve written a book “Cheat Code for Building AI-Driven SaaS”. This book will provide you with extensive guidance and you will find your path for building your AI-based SaaS.

They have created an AI Chatbot in Next.js it works as a one-on-one interactive session, so for example, there are functionalities where you want to buy Dodge coins, normally you will go to one of the marketplace and click on purchase and that will carry your transaction.

But here, you have to chat with the bot and there are things you can call, like widgets, to with which you can interact more.

Something like this shown above, now this is just one use case the same concept can be used in the e-commerce industry like at the time of checkout and paying with Stripe.

Now similar things you may have seen in the bots that are developed for WhatsApp or Telegram, yes it’s something like that but also leverages the power of AI to understand what the user needs or looking for.

See things like this can be a great add-in value, especially for those who are not good on the technical side, think of someone who can use your SaaS just by chatting with an AI.

For developers, you all would need the Vercel AI SDK 3 with Generative UI to build the apps, for more information and documentation you can check here,

Try the demo by yourself here,

I also wanted to share with you a book that I recently wrote on marketing if you want to take a deep dive into marketing and know how to get long-term paying customers for your SaaS, “Marketing Strategies to Grow Your SaaS” which will cover all the necessary steps and strategies in depth to help you take your SaaS from scratch and get some real paying users.
