# Ai Suggestions

> Prompt suggestion chips that radiate from the center.

A Prompt Suggestion component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @educlopez, version 1.0.1, MIT licence.

```bash
npx layro-cli add @educlopez/ai-suggestions

Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/educlopez/ai-suggestions.json`
