I am super excited to announce the launch of **[Makerkit](https://makerkit.dev/ai-saas-starter)'s latest Premium SaaS template, the AI Chatbot SaaS Template**. This template is a great starting point for building a customer support chatbot SaaS product and includes all the features you need to get started.

The AI Chatbot SaaS Template is part of our Premium AiSaasStarter alongside the Kanban Template - and it's available to all Makerkit Teams license holders. [If you want to update your license, follow this link](/upgrade-license).

## What will you learn?

The work on the Chatbot SaaS template is a solid foundation that will teach you many of the concepts you need to know to build a SaaS product with Makerkit.

1. **AI**: Using the [Vercel AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs) and [Langchain](https://js.langchain.com/docs/get_started/introduction) to build a Chatbot and using AI in your product
2. **Embeddings**: Using [Supabase](https://supabase.com) to store and index embeddings using pgVector
3. **Background Jobs**: Using [Upstash's QStash](https://upstash.com) to run background jobs to crawl websites and index their content in a serverless environment
4. **Crawling**: Using Readability to extract the main content from a website and crawl it for indexing
5. **CRUD**: Using Supabase to store and manage your data and RLS to secure it
6. **Subscriptions Limits**: Using quotas to limit the number of users and messages a customer can have under their plan
7. **JS Widgets**: Developing standalone React Components that you can embed into your customer's website as a JS widget, just by using a script tag

... and a lot more.

As you can see - **this is a value-packed template** that will teach you a lot about building SaaS products with Makerkit.

## Features

The AI Chatbot SaaS Template comes with a lot of features out of the box. Here's a quick overview of what you get:
1. **AI Chatbot**: A fully functional AI Chatbot that customers can create within their organizations and have their customers embed on their website
2. **Indexing and Managing Content**: Customers can crawl websites and index their content using a background job
3. **Embeddable JS Widget**: A React Component that you can embed on your customer's website as a JS widget
4. **Plans**: Customize the number of users and messages/chatbots/documents a customer can have under their plan
5. **Billing**: Stripe integration to charge customers for their usage

... and all the other features you'd expect from a SaaS product, such as:

- **Authentication**: Sign up, sign in, forgot password, email verification, etc.
- **Organizations**: Customers can create organizations and invite other users to collaborate
- **Roles**: Different roles for different users within an organization
- **Settings**: Customers can customize their profile and organization settings
