+
+## Deploy Your Own
+
+You can deploy your own version of the Next.js AI Chatbot to Vercel with one click:

+
+## Creating a KV Database Instance
+
+Follow the steps outlined in the [quick start guide](https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-kv/quickstart#create-a-kv-database) provided by Vercel. This guide will assist you in creating and configuring your KV database instance on Vercel, enabling your application to interact with it.
+
+Remember to update your environment variables (`KV_URL`, `KV_REST_API_URL`, `KV_REST_API_TOKEN`, `KV_REST_API_READ_ONLY_TOKEN`) in the `.env` file with the appropriate credentials provided during the KV database setup.
+
+## Running locally
+
+You will need to use the environment variables [defined in `.env.example`](.env.example) to run Next.js AI Chatbot. It's recommended you use [Vercel Environment Variables](https://vercel.com/docs/projects/environment-variables) for this, but a `.env` file is all that is necessary.
+
+> Note: You should not commit your `.env` file or it will expose secrets that will allow others to control access to your various OpenAI and authentication provider accounts.
+
+1. Install Vercel CLI: `npm i -g vercel`
+2. Link local instance with Vercel and GitHub accounts (creates `.vercel` directory): `vercel link`
+3. Download your environment variables: `vercel env pull`
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+Your app template should now be running on [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/).
