5 use cases

  • Deploy a working AI chat app with your own model key

    Click one deploy button, paste one API key, and get a live AI chat site from this repo.

    View prompt
    Using the repo BoardUI/boardui, guide me through its Vercel deploy button and the AI_API_KEY variable, using <provider-name> as my provider. Expected output: a live URL where the homepage chat returns a reply. Verify that the key is set only as a server-side environment variable and that a spending limit was created where the provider offers one.

  • Run the BoardUI chat app on your machine

    Install dependencies, add your key to a local env file, and start the chat on localhost.

    View prompt
    In the repo BoardUI/boardui, install dependencies and start the dev server, then report the local URL. Expected output: a running chat page that returns a model reply to a test message. Verify that the key is in .env.local and not in any client-side file.

  • Copy BoardUI components into an existing Next.js app

    Use the CLI to list, add, and install single components as editable source files.

    View prompt
    In my Next.js project at <project-path>, use the BoardUI CLI from the repo BoardUI/boardui to add the data-table and stat-cards components. Expected output: the component source files copied into the project and a page that renders both. Verify that the project builds without errors after the install.

  • Let a coding agent build screens from BoardUI through MCP

    Connect the BoardUI MCP server so your agent can browse the catalog and install components.

    View prompt
    Using the BoardUI MCP server from the repo BoardUI/boardui, add the <component-names> components to my project at <project-path>. Expected output: installed component source and a page that uses them with BoardUI tokens. Verify that the AGENTS.md rules were followed and the app builds.

  • Switch the BoardUI app to Arabic or Hebrew layout

    Configure DirectionProvider and the document locale for a right-to-left interface.

    View prompt
    In the repo BoardUI/boardui, follow the RTL setup in the README for my project at <project-path> with locale <locale>. Expected output: the root layout wrapped in DirectionProvider and the document set to the right language. Verify that keyboard navigation and the date picker still work in the target locale.

How to use Boardui

  1. Check you have what it needs: A model provider API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Groq, or xAI); A GitHub account and a Vercel account for the one-click deploy; Node.js and npm for local runs or CLI installs.
  2. Open BoardUI/boardui on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Open the repo and click the Vercel deploy button in the README.
  4. When Vercel asks for the environment variable AI_API_KEY, paste your model provider key.
  5. Wait for the first deploy to finish, then open the URL Vercel gives you.
  6. Send a message in the chat at the homepage to confirm the model replies.

These steps come from our top use case, Deploy a working AI chat app with your own model key, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
