-## Model Providers
-
-This template ships with OpenAI `gpt-4o` as the default. However, with the [AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs), you can switch LLM providers to [OpenAI](https://openai.com), [Anthropic](https://anthropic.com), [Cohere](https://cohere.com/), and [many more](https://sdk.vercel.ai/providers/ai-sdk-providers) with just a few lines of code.

-## 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`
+Having a running core service, first create a `.env` file based on the contents of `.env.example`. Then, run the following commands to start the app in development mode:
```bash
-pnpm install
+pnpm i
pnpm dev
```
-Your app template should now be running on [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/).
+You may also use other package managers of your choice.
