What is fuseai?

fuseai is a self-hosted web application for interacting with OpenAI's ChatGPT API. It provides a chat interface built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and the Mantine component library. The app supports two modes: single-user (with a pre-configured admin account) and multi-user (with email-based authentication via SMTP). It uses Prisma with SQLite for data persistence, tRPC for API communication, and NextAuth for authentication. Deployment is via Docker images published as bitswired/ai-chat-app with separate tags for single-user and multi-user modes. The project is in early development (v0.1.0) with a roadmap including Whisper API integration, prompt templates, and mobile improvements.
