what do people make with this?

VIBE 1

Add a fully working AI chat UI to a SvelteKit app without building streaming and markdown rendering from scratch.

VIBE 2

Swap between OpenAI, a local Ollama model, or a custom backend by changing one config object.

VIBE 3

Build a chat interface that supports image and file attachments across multiple AI providers.

VIBE 4

Write a custom provider class to connect the chat UI to an in-house API.

Runs on a built-in mock provider with zero config, connecting a real backend needs an API key or local server.

in plain english

SvelteChatKit is a ready made chat interface for apps built with SvelteKit, a popular web framework, that lets you connect it to whichever AI backend you want by changing a small configuration object instead of rewriting the interface. You can point it at OpenAI, a locally running model through Ollama, a Dify chat app, an n8n workflow, or your own custom backend, and the same streaming responses, chat history, and design keep working no matter which one you pick. Out of the box it supports responses that appear word by word as the AI generates them, a stop button that genuinely cancels the request instead of just hiding it, chat history that is saved in the browser so it survives a page reload, and formatted text with highlighted code blocks that has been cleaned to prevent unsafe content from being rendered. You can also attach images or files by clicking a button or pasting them directly, and different backends handle those attachments in their own way, for example sending them as image data to a vision capable model or uploading them separately first. There is a built in demo mode that requires no API key at all, so you can try the interface immediately after installing it. Setting it up for testing takes cloning the project, installing its dependencies, and running the development server, which works right away using a mock backend that needs no real AI connection. To use it inside your own application, you install it as a package, create a small configuration object describing which backend to talk to, and drop in the chat window component. If you want to connect a backend that is not already supported, you write one small class that implements a defined interface for sending and receiving messages, and the project includes a full example showing how to add support for Anthropic's API this way. The components are styled with Tailwind CSS, and the project notes a couple of setup details, like needing to tell Tailwind to scan the package's files so the styling actually applies. The project is released under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows free use including commercially.
