AI Innovation: Create your first AI Chatbot Using Google Gemini, Node and React

In the technically growing world, everyone requires rapid digital solutions to succeed. Customer support has also become a core component that is mostly served by chatbots. Thus, using NodeJS and Express as server-side frameworks, an application that allows for building a scalable chatbot was developed for further intelligent conversation using the Google Gemini API. This guide also goes through constructing the chatbot using these tools. For the frontend display, we have used ReactJS.

Generate a Google Gemini key from here.

Build a new NodeJS project. Change your directory to where your project is in your terminal and type this command.

mkdir gemini-chatbot

Install the necessary dependencies for your project. Also, install the @openai/gemini package for interacting with Gemini AI.

Create a dotenv(.env) file in your project directory and add your Gemini API credentials.

Now, replace ******************* with your generated Gemini API key.

Create a new file in the NodeJS application as index.js in your project directory. Add the following code there.

Testing Your Chatbot

Now, Test the chatbot by hitting the api endpoint and adding the query parameters to it. To make it easy and intractable, we will create a React app, connect an API and get the responses.

Create a ReactJS app Using command

Create component Gen.js and Gen.css and call it in App.js

Hit npm start and it will load the application at http://localhost:3000. Ready to transform your business with our technology solutions? Contact us today to Leverage Our NodeJS Expertise.
