Real-time Chat Interface

Chat directly with your AI assistant from the dashboard using a real-time WebSocket connection.

What's new

The dashboard now includes a built-in chat interface that connects directly to your gateway over WebSocket. You can test your assistant, debug responses, and interact with it without needing an external messaging app.

Features include:

  • Real-time streaming - responses appear token-by-token as they're generated
  • Session management - start new conversations or continue existing ones
  • Tool visibility - see which tools the assistant calls and their results
  • Message history - scroll back through previous conversations

How to use it

Open any gateway from the dashboard and click Chat. The interface connects automatically using your gateway's authentication token.

Why this matters

Testing previously required connecting a channel (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) and messaging through it. The built-in chat removes that friction - you can interact with your assistant immediately after setup.
