WIP: chat layout changes

[rooney011]

What’s done:
• Built ChatLayout, ChatMessages, and ChatInput components.
• Centered chat card with scrollable messages.
• Styled input and message bubbles.
• Integrated useChat hook to handle message state.

What needs to be done:
• Fix POST request from frontend to /api/chat so AI responses work.
• Ensure handleSubmit correctly sends messages without page reload.
• UI improvements: loading indicator, timestamps, avatars

Try this layout. You can try it here: Vercel Chatbot Template

[rooney011]

[rooney011]

[CharanMN7]

Can't see the image... But here's something you'll find useful: AI Elements - AI SDK

Error: Vercel AI Gateway blocked the request (403 Forbidden)

AI Gateway requires a valid credit card on file to service requests.
Please visit Vercel Dashboard to add a card and unlock free credits.

Endpoint:
https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/ai/language-model

Details:

• status: 403
• type: customer_verification_required
• message: "AI Gateway requires a valid credit card on file to service requests."

This means my API call is being routed through Vercel's AI Gateway,
and it refuses to process the request because no credit card is added.

I want to know whether I should:

1. Disable Vercel AI Gateway and use another model directly,
2. Or switch to another provider like Gemini/OpenAI without the gateway.

Oh! I haven't seen something like this. Push them commits in @rooney011 . That way I can test out this thing and let you know.

Make sure you make small and numerous commits (do not commit all files in one single commit).

[rooney011]

yeah okay

[rooney011]

I’ve made the commits. Should I go ahead and open a PR?

[CharanMN7]

Push them in this PR itself. We don't need a new one.

[rooney011]

i have messed up code in this branch so i have created a new branch and worked on it so can i make a new PR?

[CharanMN7]

Oh! that's cool. I saw the other PR. Can I close this without merging then?

[rooney011]

Yeah

[CharanMN7]

@rooney011 also, let me know if I can close this PR without merging, if we don't need this anymore.
