Building a Hybrid AI Chatbot with Next.js 16
Historically, Next.js has had two distinct modes of rendering: Static (for building fast prerendered pages) and Dynamic (for showing fresh data at request-time). With the release of version 16, Next.js now has a single approach called Partial prerendering that offers the best of both previous modes. In this talk, Sam will show you how to build a modern AI Chatbot that takes advantage of Next.js’ newest hybrid rendering features, like instant client-side navigations to server-rendered pages.
