Hey there, fellow travelers on the digital superhighway! If you’ve got a chatbot that feels about as current as a flip phone at a tech conference, it’s time for an upgrade. [NLUX](https://nlux.ai) is here to rev your chatbot’s engine with text streaming that’s as smooth as your favorite jazz solo — and it comes in markdown!

## Why Text Streaming is the Espresso Shot Your Chatbots Need

Imagine unleashing a world where each message from your chatbot doesn’t just pop up — it performs. That’s text streaming, folks. It’s the difference between getting a telegram and having a conversation. Streaming text keeps users glued to the screen, watching your AI’s thoughts unfold in real-time. It’s fresh, it’s captivating, and it’ll make your chatbot the belle of the digital ball.

## The Marvel of Markdown

Regular text has its charm, but markdown text in a streaming chatbot is like Shakespeare in a leather jacket — classic with a kick. It lets you strut your content with style; bolds, italics, lists, you name it. Because when your chatbot says:

_“Our plans? Basic — five bucks. Premium — double that. VIP? Let’s chat.”_

It doesn’t hold a candle to the suave sophistication of:

- Basic Plan: $5/month
- Premium Plan: $10/month
- Enterprise Plan: Let’s talk 😉

Which one’s clearer? Exactly.

## Not Your Average Bot Builder

So, what’s [NLUX](https://nlux.ai/)? It’s a sparkling React JS and JavaScript library that’s about to become your chatbot’s BFF.

## Quick-Start Code: Your NLUX Chatbot in a Flash

Under the hood of NLUX’s charm and wit lies an impressive engine of efficiency — one that lets you conjure up an AI chatbot faster than you can say “Abracadabra!” But don’t just take our word for it. Let the code speak for itself. Here’s a sneak peek at just how effortlessly you can set the stage for your very own ChatGPT bot with NLUX:

```typescript
import {NluxConvo} from '@nlux/nlux-react';
import {useAdapter} from '@nlux/openai-react';

export const MyChatComp = () => {
    const chatGptAdapter = useAdapter({
        apiKey: 'YOUR_OPEN_AI_API_KEY',
        // 👇 Instruct ChatGPT how to behave (optional)
        initialSystemMessage:
            'Act as a Nobel Prize in Physics winner who is ' +
            'helping a PHD student in their research'
    });

    return (
        <NluxConvo
            adapter={chatGptAdapter}
            promptBoxOptions={{
                placeholder: 'Ask me anything about nuclear physics!'
            }}
        />
    );
}
```

Wait ... is that it? Yes, you bewitching developers, getting started with NLUX really is that simple. Copy this incantation into your React app, insert your API key, and you’re mere moments away from breathing life into your very own chatty creation.

Of course, this is just the tip of the wizard’s hat. NLUX gives you the power to customize, optimize, and accessorize your chatbot to your heart’s content. But as for the basics — well, you could probably teach them to your cat (although we don’t recommend it, as cats are notoriously indifferent students).
