AI Elements

AI Elements is a component library and custom registry built on top of shadcn/ui to help you build AI-native applications faster. It provides pre-built components like conversations, messages and more.

Components are copied into the project as source, so they are owned and editable — not a black-box dependency.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or later
• A Next.js project with the AI SDK installed
• shadcn/ui in the project — running any install command sets it up if missing

Installing Components

Install AI Elements components using either the dedicated AI Elements CLI or the shadcn/ui CLI. Both achieve the same result: adding the selected component's code and any needed dependencies to the project.
