+# Template: ai-app (Next.js AI chatbot + grid AI gateway + Mongo)
+
+A minimal but real, deployable AI chatbot. A Next.js App Router app that calls
+the grid AI gateway (via `@cloudgrid-io/ai`) for replies and persists the
+conversation to the grid-shared MongoDB. History survives refresh and is shared
+across sessions.
+
+**Key rules (all proven by a real end-to-end deploy):**
+
+1. **App code MUST live under `services/<name>/`, not the repo/template root.**
+   `path:` in `cloudgrid.yaml` is the URL mount, NOT the filesystem path. The
+   service named `web` → the CLI looks for `services/web/`. Files at the root
+   fail with `Error: Service directory not found: …/services/web`.
+2. **The AI call is zero-config — no API key.** `import { createClient } from
+   "@cloudgrid-io/ai"; const client = createClient();` auto-detects the in-grid
+   identity, so it only works inside a deployed grid app (or under `grid dev`).
+   Do NOT pass or set an API key. Read the reply from `r.text` (fall back to
+   `r.content`).
+3. **Read the DB connection string LAZILY (inside the getter), never at module
+   top level.** The grid injects it as `DATABASE_MONGODB_URL` (plus the legacy
+   `MONGODB_URL` alias) at dev + runtime; the app reads
+   `process.env.DATABASE_MONGODB_URL || process.env.MONGODB_URL` inside `getDb`.
+   A top-level read fails `next build`. Never hardcode a connection string; never
+   commit a secret.
+4. **Declare `needs: { ai: true, database: true }`.** The deployer wires the AI
+   gateway and provisions Mongo (injecting `DATABASE_MONGODB_URL` + legacy
+   `MONGODB_URL`). `requires:` is the deprecated v1 alias; don't author new yaml
+   with it, and never set `needs:` and `requires:` together (the validator
+   rejects the combination).
+
+Write these files into the scaffolded app folder — the app code goes under
+`services/web/` — adapt the persona/UI, then `grid dev` (local) / `grid plug`
+(deploy, async — poll to a live URL).

+
+- Give the assistant a persona — pass a `{ role: "system", content: "…" }`
+  message ahead of the user message in `chat({ messages })`.
+- Send prior turns as context by including the stored history in `messages`.
+- Change the `messages` collection / fields; add users, sessions, titles.
+- Run `grid dev` to test locally, `grid plug` to deploy (async — poll to live).
+
+## RAG / retrieval (not yet)
+
+To answer over **your own documents** (retrieval-augmented generation) you need a
+vector store — `needs: { vector: pgvector }`. That path is **not yet available**
+(platform issue #1545). Ship the plain chatbot now; add retrieval once the vector
+need is unblocked.

+# api-service template — REST/JSON API on Node + Mongo
+
+A minimal but real, deployable backend API. It is a plain Node `http` service
+(no web UI, no framework) that serves a small REST resource (`/items`) backed by
+the grid-shared MongoDB, so data survives refresh and is shared across sessions.
+This is the plain-service sibling of `app-with-data` — reach for it when the user
+wants a backend/API, not a full web app.
+
+## How the grid gives you a database
+
+You do **not** provision a database or set a connection string. In
+`cloudgrid.yaml` you declare `needs: { database: true }`, and the grid:
+
+- provisions shared Mongo for the service, and
+- injects the connection string as the **`DATABASE_MONGODB_URL`** environment
+  variable (plus the legacy `MONGODB_URL` alias) — at dev-time (`grid dev`) and
+  at runtime (after `grid plug`).
+
+The service reads it via `process.env.DATABASE_MONGODB_URL` (with a legacy
+`process.env.MONGODB_URL` fallback) inside `getDb` — **lazily, never at module
+top level.** A top-level read throws at node startup, before the grid injects
+the var, and crashes the service. Never hardcode a connection string; never
+commit a secret.
+
+> **Declare `needs: { database: true }` (the canonical shape).** The deployer
+> provisions Mongo and injects `DATABASE_MONGODB_URL` (plus the legacy
+> `MONGODB_URL` alias). `requires:` is the deprecated v1 alias — don't author new
+> yaml with it, and never set `needs:` and `requires:` together (the validator
+> rejects the combination).
+
+## Service layout
+
+Service code lives under **`services/api/`**, not the template root. `path:` in
+`cloudgrid.yaml` is the URL mount, not the filesystem path — the service named
+`api` means the CLI looks for `services/api/`. Files at the root fail with
+`Error: Service directory not found: …/services/api`.
+
+The server listens on `process.env.PORT || 8080` — the grid injects `PORT`; the
+`8080` default is for local runs.
+
+## Run locally
+
+```bash
+cd services/api && npm install && cd -
+grid dev          # runs the service with DATABASE_MONGODB_URL injected against dev Mongo
+```
+
+Then hit it:
+
+```bash
+curl -s localhost:8080/items
+curl -s -XPOST localhost:8080/items -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"text":"hello"}'
+```
+
+## Deploy
+
+```bash
+grid plug         # builds + deploys the folder (async — poll status until live)
+```
+
+A runtime deploy is asynchronous: `plug` returns `status: building`; poll status
+until the service is live, then use the returned live URL. Re-plug the same
+entity to update the same URL.
+
+## File tree
+
+```
+cloudgrid.yaml                 # name + services.api (node) + needs: { database: true }

+## Adapt it

+- Rename the `items` collection and change the document fields to your resource.
+- Add more routes/resources as the API grows.
+- Return clear JSON errors (`{ "error": … }`) with the right status codes.
+- Add more `needs:` (e.g. `cache: true`) only if you actually use them.
