form. intel

The private operating system of form. — a branded landing, a members-only library of the signed-off form. documents, and form. ai: an assistant that reasons from form's own doctrine, with a model picker (Claude · Grok · OpenAI), file upload, and voice.

Next.js 16 (App Router) · TypeScript · deploy on Vercel. No database required for v1 — form's entire corpus is small enough to load into every model call, so answers stay grounded.

Routes

• / — public landing (reveals nothing about the contents)
• /login — username + password (named users)
• /library — the document index (protected)
• /brand-identity-system, /operational-philosophy, /doctrine — the signed-off docs (protected)
• /ai — form. ai chat (protected)

Run locally

npm install
cp .env.example .env.local   # then fill in the values
npm run dev                  # http://localhost:3000

Environment variables

Set these in Vercel → Settings → Environment Variables (and .env.local for local dev). Never commit real values — .env* is gitignored.

Key	What it is
AUTH_SECRET	Session-signing secret. Generate: openssl rand -hex 32
SITE_USERS	JSON list of logins: [{"user":"name","pass":"secret"}]
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY + CLAUDE_MODEL	Enables Claude
XAI_API_KEY + GROK_MODEL	Enables Grok
OPENAI_API_KEY + OPENAI_MODEL	Enables OpenAI

A model only appears in the picker if its API key is set. Add as many or as few as you want.

Adding / removing users

Edit SITE_USERS in Vercel and redeploy. Nothing touches code. Rotate AUTH_SECRET to force everyone to log in again.

Deploy

1. Push this folder to a private GitHub repo.
2. Vercel → New Project → import it (auto-detects Next.js).
3. Add the environment variables above (Production + Preview).
4. Deploy. Visit the URL → you'll hit the landing; sign in → /login.

Notes for v1

• Chat responses are non-streaming (returned whole) for reliability. Streaming is a later upgrade.
• File upload reads text-like files (.txt, .md, .csv, code) into the conversation context. Rich formats (.pdf, .docx) can be added with a server-side parser later.
• Voice uses the browser's built-in speech APIs (best in Chrome) — no extra keys or cost.
• Cinematic brand renders go in /public and get wired into the landing/hero when ready.
