GAIA UI - Component Registry

A collection of production-ready UI components designed specifically for building AI assistants and chatbots. These are the components we use at GAIA, now available for anyone building conversational interfaces.

Why This Library?

Building a great chat or assistant interface requires more than just generic UI components. We've spent countless hours refining these components to handle the unique challenges of conversational UIs.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, use the same battle-tested components that power GAIA.

Our Philosophy

Quality Over Quantity - We focus on shipping production-ready components that solve real problems. Each component is:

• ✅ Battle-tested in production at GAIA
• ✅ Designed to handle edge cases and real-world scenarios
• ✅ Accessible, responsive, and performant
• ✅ Solving problems better than existing alternatives

You won't find generic components that duplicate what's already available. If we're shipping it, it's because we use it in production and it adds genuine value to the ecosystem.

Getting Started

Add components to your project:

npx @heygaia/ui add navbar-menu

Add multiple components at once:

npx @heygaia/ui add raised-button chat-bubble tool-calls-section

Alternative: Using shadcn CLI

You can also use the shadcn CLI directly with the full registry URL:

npx shadcn@latest add https://ui.heygaia.io/r/navbar-menu.json

Or configure the @heygaia namespace in your components.json:

{
  "registries": {
    "@heygaia": "https://ui.heygaia.io/r/{name}.json"
  }
}

Then use namespace syntax:

npx shadcn@latest add @heygaia/navbar-menu

Base Components

This registry uses standard shadcn/ui base components. Install them separately:

npx shadcn@latest add button tooltip avatar dropdown-menu popover skeleton

Current Status

GAIA UI is in beta. We're actively migrating components from our internal GAIA codebase, replacing HeroUI with shadcn/ui for better compatibility and smaller bundle sizes. The library is stable and used in production, but APIs may change as we refine components before v1.0.
