      I built the Community Agent Template a while back, an AI Slack bot with a built-in admin panel. It's up on Vercel templates if you want a reference for building agent apps with Next.js.
      Promo image for the Community Agent Template. Left side: the Vercel triangle logo and large title "Community Agent Template" with the subtitle "Open source AI-powered Slack community management bot" in a monospace font. Right side: a preview of the admin panel showing an Acme Community dashboard with an Overview page, a status banner reading "Bot is handling 2 conversations", a knowledge base link, stat cards for Questions Answered (32), Questions Surfaced (4), Questions Routed (7), and Issues Flagged (6), and an Activity Trend area chart for the last 3 days.
