OmniAI v6.3 DueL mode : Using Cursor
Checking recent conversation context so we can respond accurately.
That’s fine — you don’t need GitHub for me to help. A local project is enough.
Right now this chat is opened from your home directory, not from that project folder, so I don’t have the codebase in context yet.
To move forward, tell me:
- What you want to do — e.g. fix a bug, add a feature, set up git, deploy, review code, etc.
- Where the project lives — the full path (e.g.
C:\Users\user\Projects\my-app)
Once I have the path, I can switch the workspace to that folder and work on it there. Git can stay local-only, or we can add a GitHub remote later if you want — your choice.
What’s the project path, and what are you trying to accomplish?
Switching the workspace to Z:\omniai and taking a quick look at the project layout.
Got it — I can see your project at Z:\omniai.
It’s a React + Vite app (Base44-based) with:
- Pages: Chat, Voice, Vision, Home, Login/Register, Settings
- Stack: Tailwind, shadcn/ui, React Router, TanStack Query
- AI libs:
omniBrain.js,aiService.js, Wikipedia/Wiki search, etc.
To run it locally:
cd Z:\omniai
npm install
npm run dev
You’ll likely need a .env.local with your Base44 credentials (VITE_BASE44_APP_ID, VITE_BASE44_APP_BASE_URL).
Tip: For the best experience in Cursor, open Z:\omniai as the workspace folder (File → Open Folder). This chat is still rooted in your home directory, so switching the workspace gives me full project context.
What would you like to do with it — fix something, add a feature, get it running, or something else?
Exploring how deeply the project depends on Base44 so we can plan a standalone migration and Netlify deployment.
The app is mostly standalone already; I'll remove the remaining Base44 dependencies, fix corrupted files, and add Netlify deployment config.
Good news: OmniAI was already mostly independent of Base44 — the AI (chat, vision, voice) runs in the browser with Wikipedia and optional API keys. What was blocking you was leftover Base44 scaffolding and a broken build config.
Here's what I changed:
Removed Base44
- Stripped
@base44/sdkand@base44/vite-pluginfrompackage.json - Replaced
vite.config.jswith a standard Vite + React setup (with@/path alias) - Deleted unused auth/Base44 files (Login, Register, AuthContext, etc.)
- Fixed corrupted
index.html(had invalid JavaScript prepended) - Updated branding (title, favicon, manifest)
Added Netlify config
netlify.toml— build command + SPA routing (so/chat,/vision, etc. work on refresh)
Deploy to Netlify
Easiest (no Git needed):
cd Z:\omniai
npm install
npm run build
Then go to app.netlify.com/drop and drag the dist folder onto the page.
Or with Netlify CLI:
npm install -g netlify-cli
netlify login
netlify deploy --prod --dir=dist
What you get standalone
FeatureWorks without Base44?Chat (Wikipedia + local AI)
Yes
Vision (OCR + optional OpenRouter)
Yes
Voice (browser speech APIs)
Yes
Settings / API keys
Stored in browser only
User login
Removed (was Base44-only)
No .env or Base44 account is required for the default experience. Optional AI keys (OpenRouter, Groq, etc.) are set on the Settings page and stay in the user's browser.
If you want, I can next help you run the build locally, connect a custom domain on Netlify, or add simple password protection without going back to Base44.
------------------------------------------------------------
Reviewing how engines are configured so we can add more free options.
Adding more free AI engines with a shared API helper, matching the existing Settings UI (each engine gets its own API key and model picker).
Yes — you already had 3 engines; there are now 8, each with its own API key and model dropdown (like Base44’s setup).
Engines in Settings
EngineFree tier highlightOpenRouter
Many :free models (was already there)
Groq
Very fast, generous free quota
Google Gemini
AI Studio key (AIza...)
Cerebras
~1M tokens/day, very fast
DeepSeek
Chat + Reasoner models
Mistral AI
Good for multilingual / Greek
Together AI
Free signup credit
Hugging Face
Open models via HF router
Wikipedia stays the default (no key). User flow:
- Open Settings
- Expand an engine → follow “How to get your free key”
- Paste key → pick model → Save
- Select that engine as Response source (radio button)
If the chosen engine fails, the app tries other engines that have keys saved.
How to try
cd Z:\omniai
npm run dev
Go to Settings — you should see all 8 engine cards.
Note: Keys stay in the browser (localStorage). Some providers may block browser calls (CORS); if one fails, try Groq, OpenRouter, or Gemini. If you want a specific provider (e.g. only Greek-friendly models), say which and we can tune the list.

That output means npm install finished successfully — dependencies are installed. You can continue.
What those messages mean
MessageActionup to date, audited 620 packages
OK — nothing else needed for install
funding
Optional info only — ignore
2 moderate vulnerabilities
Common in many projects — don’t run npm audit fix --force before deploy (it can break things). Safe to deploy as-is for a personal site
npm 11.16.0 available
Optional — ignore for now
Next step — build
cd Z:\omniai
npm.cmd run build
Or double-click build.cmd in Z:\omniai.
You should see a dist folder when it’s done.
Then Netlify
- https://app.netlify.com/drop
- Drag
Z:\omniai\distonto the page
If npm.cmd run build prints an error, paste the full output here.
Checking whether the build completed successfully:
That output is normal — the build has started (or already finished).
Your vite.config.js only prints errors, so you often see just:
> omniai@6.3.0 build
> vite build
…then the prompt comes back with no extra lines. That usually means success.
Check it worked
In File Explorer, open:
Z:\omniai\dist
You should see something like:
index.htmlfavicon.svgmanifest.jsonassets\folder (JS + CSS)
If that folder exists, the build is done.
Deploy on Netlify
- Go to https://app.netlify.com/drop
- Log in
- Drag the whole
distfolder onto the page - Use the URL Netlify gives you (e.g.
https://your-site.netlify.app)
If the terminal never returns
Wait ~30 seconds. If it’s still stuck, press Ctrl+C and run:
cd Z:\omniai
npm.cmd run build
Or double-click build.cmd.
If you get a red error after vite build, paste the full text here.
