Introducing a Free AI Chat Stack for RapidWeaver

Hello everyone,

I would like to share something a little unusual with the community.

Over the last days I experimented with building an AI chat assistant stack for RapidWeaver. The funny part is that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when I started. I simply started experimenting, asking questions, making mistakes, fixing things, and after quite a few trials and errors I suddenly had a working stack.

So in the purest sense of the word this was “vibe coding”.

The result is a simple stack that lets you add an AI assistant to a RapidWeaver page.

https://ai-pro.dk/chat_stack-test/entry.php

It works roughly like this:

RapidWeaver page
→ JavaScript chat interface
→ your own server endpoint (to protect the API key)
→ OpenAI
→ reply appears instantly on the page

Because the API key stays on the server, the setup is safe for public websites.

Current features

  • simple AI chat interface
  • configurable system prompt
  • temperature control
  • model selection
  • conversation memory
  • server-side API protection

It is very simple, but it works.

Why I am sharing it

While building it I realised something interesting:
If someone like me, who had never built a RapidWeaver stack before, can do this with a bit of persistence and AI help, then many more people can do the same.

So instead of turning it into a paid product, I decided to simply share it with the community.

The stack is free.

If you find it useful and want to support the experiment, you can always buy me a coffee.

What I hope happens

Maybe this becomes a starting point for more AI experiments in the RapidWeaver ecosystem.

It would be fun to see people build things like:

  • documentation assistants
  • site help bots
  • knowledge assistants
  • product support bots

directly inside RapidWeaver.

A small note

I run a small project at ai-pro.dk where I experiment with custom AI assistants and integrations. If anyone needs something more advanced, feel free to reach out.

Otherwise, enjoy the stack and have fun experimenting.

As a senior citizen, using AI is a bit weird for me, but fun to play with, for certain. I have used it to made some cartoon figures of myself working in my garden and AI does a pretty neat job of it. I also asked it to create an elevator arrow that has a red background, a blue background on hover and goes on after 200px. When I tried your AI, it produced the arrow, but it stayed up in the upper left hand corner. When I used chatgpt, the result was exactly what I wanted. I wonder if I didn’t ask the question correctly when using your sample. Bottom line, it is amazing to see how far computers and programming has come since Pong and my own introduction into coding in 1966…ha, ha.

Hejsan, yes, the chat stack is just an experiment. It runs on GPT 4 mini, so it is not very good at coding, on my website I have AI that is very capable for making tests etc, it runs on GPT 5.4 which is a lot more capable and also expensive. Hjemmeside designer | AI-Pro · AI Chatbots, Webdesign & Digitale Løsninger - my site is in danish, but there is english text explainers as well.

The AI stack have options to change to other versions of OpenAI’s GPTs. So if you download it and install it in your RW stacks folder, you can experiment with it on your own site. It is not really a no code stack, you need to do a few editing etc.

Hej Kent

Det ser godt ud.
Mange hilsner fra vestkysten.
