About

Elixpo Chat (chat.elixpo.com) is a fluid, real-time AI chat experience and the chat product of the Elixpo ecosystem. Alongside conversational chat it ships integrated news, podcast, and weather experiences, with content generated by an automated pipeline.

It is a Next.js application deployed to Cloudflare (Workers, D1, KV) via OpenNext, authenticating through Elixpo Accounts (SSO) and sharing the ecosystem's Mail infrastructure. The project is under active development.

This repository is the source for the chat.elixpo.com product.

Architecture

Everything runs on Cloudflare. Three shared platform services back the ecosystem, and products are either SSO-backed SaaS, standalone, or our flagship:

• accounts.elixpo - single sign-on / identity
• mails.elixpo - shared mailing infrastructure
• payouts.elixpo - shared payments / payouts

SaaS products (Blogs, Art, Chat, Sketch, Search) and the flagship lixrl.com all authenticate through Accounts (SSO) and share the Mail and Payouts infra. The public, login-free surfaces (elixpo.com, oreo.elixpo, me.elixpo) are standalone. admin.elixpo is the operations dashboard and status.elixpo is monitoring.
