Template submission: Next.js AI chatbot with LLM observability built in

Open Source
1

Hi, I know the /templates/submit form returns a 404 right now and there were mixed answers in other threads about whether submissions are open. Posting here in case that’s the current route, and if not, I’d love to know what is.

We built a starter that adds LLM observability to the usual AI SDK chatbot setup:

Demo: https://nextjs-ai-chatbot-spanlens.vercel.app

Repo: GitHub - spanlens/nextjs-ai-chatbot-spanlens: Next.js AI chatbot starter with built-in LLM observability. Vercel AI SDK + Spanlens: one env var, every request logged with tokens, latency, and cost. · GitHub

It’s a streaming chat app on Next.js App Router with AI SDK v7 and Tailwind. What makes it different from the other chatbot templates: requests route through the Spanlens proxy, so every message gets logged with token counts, latency, and cost in USD. One env var, no wrapper code. Spanlens itself is open source under MIT.

One-click deploy works. The only required setting is SPANLENS_API_KEY, and the free tier covers demo usage.

Happy to adjust anything if the format doesn’t fit the gallery guidelines. Is the form coming back, or should template submissions go somewhere else now?
