I have finally redesigned the nero ai into looking an more stunning and better look. First it was too plain so i improved it and also improved the cursor as well. Added a new sidebar navigation, glassmorphism everywhere, aurora backgrounds, the whole nine yards,LOL. It actually looks like an operating system now not just a chatbot with a fancy name. dark theme has been set as the default for the whole ai.
For the Framework & Build i used,

• Next.js 16.2.7 with Turbopack for blazing fast dev server and hot reload
• React 19 with hooks (useState, useEffect, useCallback, lazy, Suspense)
• TypeScript throughout

For Styling up nero i used,

• Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling
• CSS custom properties (variables) for the theme system
• Inline styles for dynamic theming (accent colors, glow effects, glassmorphism)
• Glassmorphism via backdrop-filter: blur() + semi-transparent backgrounds

For the UI Components i used Custom AICore orb with SVG animations and mood-based coloring.Also the Notification Center with badge counts
nero also has OnboardingFlow for the first-time users i thought that would be helpful. It also has a coverstion side bar with search and histrory found inside it only.

This was a big UX change for me and nero 🥀🥀. And now instead of a separate “API Keys” section buried in settings, nero now lets u pick a model and enter its API key right there.
Click a model → it expands → paste ur key → save.
The green dot shows up when a key is configured and then stores everything in local storage so keys stay on ur machine never sent anywhere except to the provider u chose and it supports Gemini, GPT, and more ai’s.

The home screen in nero now shows all of these,

• Greeting based on time of day
• Animated AI core orb with mood indicator
• Quick actions (chat, research, memory, knowledge)
• Recent conversations pulled from the actual database
• System status panel showing nero core health, cause its health 🥀😢

Mostly did the redesign and removed some of the not working sections from Nero and did debugging.. (●’◡’●)
