found this breakdown on how to set up an ai chatbot using gemini and vercel serverless functions. the author actually used this exact stack for their site at buildcv. makeadifference. app which makes it feel much more
legit than most tutorials. it covers connecting react and node. js to handle the backend logic without needing a massive dedicated server. i love how it uses vercel serverless functions because it keeps everything
super lightweight and easy to deploy. if you are tired of managing complex infrastructure, this might be the way to go for small projects. it is pretty cool seeing how much you can do w/ just a few pieces of modern tech. i am still trying to figure out if serverless functions get too expensive once your traffic spikes.
probably worth checking out the usage limits first anyway, definitely worth a read if you wanna add some ai features to your current web app. has anyone else tried integrating gemini into their vercel projects lately?
