Talkative - AI Creative Assistant

A powerful, intelligent chat interface that seamlessly combines text and image generation using Replicate's AI models. Features advanced decision-making algorithms and modern React patterns for an exceptional user experience.

✨ Key Features

🧠 Intelligent Decision Making

  • Advanced Multi-Criteria Analysis: Uses 5-factor scoring system (keywords, patterns, semantics, context, length)
  • 150+ Image Keywords & 100+ Text Keywords: Comprehensive vocabulary recognition
  • Smart Pattern Recognition: Sophisticated regex patterns for intent detection
  • Context-Aware Routing: Learns from conversation history
  • High Confidence Scoring: Precise intent classification with 75%+ accuracy

🎨 Professional Image Generation

  • Stable Diffusion Integration: High-quality image creation using stability-ai/stable-diffusion
  • Advanced Stream Handling: Proper ReadableStream processing from Replicate
  • File-Based Storage: Reliable image persistence across development sessions
  • Next.js Image Component: Optimized image serving via /api/images/[imageId] routes
  • Multiple Format Support: PNG, JPEG with proper MIME type handling

✍️ Intelligent Text Generation

  • Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Advanced language model via anthropic/claude-3.7-sonnet
  • Context-Aware Responses: Maintains conversation continuity
  • Error-Specific Messaging: Direct API error propagation (no mocks)

🚀 Modern React Architecture

  • Optimistic Updates: React 19 useOptimistic and useTransition hooks
  • Real-Time UI: Instant feedback with server-side validation
  • TypeScript: Full type safety throughout the application
  • Centralized Constants: DRY principle with shared decision-making logic

🎯 Enhanced User Experience

  • Smart Clarification: Context-aware suggestions when intent is unclear
  • Toast Notifications: Real-time feedback for all operations
  • Responsive Design: Mobile-first UI with Tailwind CSS
  • Debug Logging: Transparent decision-making process (development mode)

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Clone and install:

    git clone <repository-url>
cd talkative
npm install

  2. Environment setup:

    cp .env.example .env.local

    Add your Replicate API token:

    REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=r8_your_token_here

  3. Start development:

    npm run dev

  4. Open browser: http://localhost:3000

🎯 Usage Examples

Image Generation Commands

The system recognizes these patterns with high confidence:

✅ "Draw a majestic lion in the African savanna"

🛠️ Development

Key Technologies

  • Frontend: Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules
  • State: TanStack Query, React built-in hooks
  • AI: Replicate SDK, Direct API integration
  • Storage: File-based image persistence
  • Validation: Zod schemas

Available Scripts

npm run dev          # Development server with hot reload
npm run build        # Production build
npm run start        # Production server
npm run lint         # ESLint + TypeScript checking
npm run type-check   # TypeScript compiler only

Environment Variables

Variable Required Description Example
REPLICATE_API_TOKEN ✅ Replicate API authentication r8_abc123...
NODE_ENV ❌ Environment mode development / production

Adding New AI Models

  1. Update constants in src/lib/decision-constants.ts:

    export const NEW_MODEL_KEYWORDS = [...];

  2. Create service in src/services/:

    export class NewModelService implements INewModelService {
  async generateContent(request: NewModelRequest): Promise<ToolResult> {
    // Implementation
  }
}

  3. Update router in src/services/tool-router.ts:

    case "new-model":
  return this.executeNewModel(userInput, context);

  4. Register in API src/app/api/chat/route.ts:

    const newModelService = new NewModelService();
const router = new ToolRouter(
  textService,
  imageService,
  newModelService,
  clarificationService,
);

🔧 Configuration

Decision-Making Tuning

Adjust confidence thresholds in src/services/tool-router.ts:

const CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD = 0.75; // Minimum for decisive routing
const STRONG_THRESHOLD = 0.65; // Minimum for strong preference

Model Selection

Update models in respective service files:

// Image Generation
const DEFAULT_MODEL = "stability-ai/stable-diffusion";

// Text Generation
const DEFAULT_MODEL = "anthropic/claude-3.7-sonnet";

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Image not displaying:

# Check browser console for:
✅ "✅ Image loaded from file: abc123"
❌ "❌ Image files not found: abc123"

# Solution: Ensure REPLICATE_API_TOKEN is valid

Wrong tool selection:

# Enable debug logging in development:
console.log("🎯 Decision: image-generation (78.3% confidence)")
console.log("📊 Factors: {keywords: 0.900, patterns: 0.850, ...}")

# Check if your keywords are in decision-constants.ts

API errors:

# Replicate API errors now propagate directly:
❌ "Replicate API error: Insufficient credits (HTTP 402)"
❌ "Replicate API error: Model not found (HTTP 404)"

# Check your Replicate account and billing

Performance Tips

  • Image Loading: Images are cached with Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000
  • Memory Usage: File-based storage prevents memory leaks in development
  • API Calls: Optimistic updates reduce perceived latency

🚀 Deployment

Vercel (Recommended)

  1. Connect repository to Vercel
  2. Add environment variables in dashboard
  3. Configure Next.js settings (automatic)
  4. Deploy with zero configuration
