Everyone wants to build an AI app — then they hit "how do I stream the response" and stall. Habitat's AI App Starter hands you the boring part, working: real token-by-token streaming, a clean chat UI, and bring-your-own-model (any OpenAI-compatible API — OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Ollama). Runs out of the box in mock mode, no key needed. Next.js 15 + Tailwind v4, typed and easy to extend into auth/billing/RAG. From idea to a running AI app in an evening.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Herman, and I built Habitat because I kept rebuilding the same boring parts of every AI app — streaming, provider plumbing, a chat UI that doesn't look like a toy.
The AI App Starter hands you all of it, working: real token-by-token streaming, a clean chat UI, and bring-your-own-model (any OpenAI-compatible API — OpenAI, Groq, OpenRouter, Ollama). It runs out of the box in mock mode, so you see the whole thing before you touch a key.
What makes it different:
• Real streaming on native Web Streams — no bloated SDK, the part everyone gets wrong
• Switch providers by changing one env var
• One config file for the assistant's name + personality + prompts
• Typed, clean, easy to extend into auth / billing / RAG
It's $59, 30% off for launch. I'll be here all day — tell me what's missing 🙏
