The integration of AI into web applications has never been more accessible. With Next.js 14's new features and the rise of powerful AI APIs, developers can now build intelligent applications that understand, process, and generate human-like responses. In this tutorial, we'll build a full-stack AI-powered application that combines Next.js 14's server components with OpenAI's GPT models and LangChain for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). We'll implement features like document upload, semantic search, real-time chat interfaces, and intelligent content generation. I'll also cover cost optimization strategies, error handling, and best practices for managing API keys and rate limits. This approach has helped me build applications serving over 200 daily users with seamless AI interactions.
