Chat web apps transform your chatflow into a complete conversation experience. Users get persistent chat sessions, smart interactions, and all the features you’ve configured—without installing anything.

​
How Chat Apps Work

Your chatflow automatically becomes a web app when you publish it. The system creates a responsive interface that:
  • Maintains conversation context across user sessions
  • Inherits all orchestration settings from your chatflow configuration
  • Adapts to any screen size from mobile to desktop
  • Handles user authentication if you’ve enabled access controls
Unlike single-use text generators, chat apps maintain conversation memory and let users build on previous exchanges.

​
Interactive Features

Your web app automatically includes these capabilities based on your chatflow settings:

Pre-conversation Forms

Collect context before chatting starts—better than asking mid-conversation

AI Conversation Starters

Eliminate the blank page problem with helpful opening messages

Smart Follow-ups

System generates 3 contextual next questions after each response

Voice Input

Speech-to-text lets users talk instead of type

Source Citations

References show exactly where information comes from

Response Feedback

Users can rate responses to help improve your app

​
Pre-conversation Setup

When your chatflow uses variables, users complete a form before chatting starts. This front-loads context gathering instead of interrupting the conversation flow.
Pre-conversation variable form
Here’s how the user experience works:
1

User lands on your app

They see a clean form requesting necessary context information.
2

Form completion unlocks chat

The “Start Conversation” button activates only after required fields are filled.
3

AI has full context

The conversation begins with all the background information it needs.
Every form field adds friction. Only ask for information that meaningfully improves responses.

​
Conversation Experience

Once chatting begins, users get an interface designed for natural interaction:

Every AI response includes these actions:
  • Copy button - One-click copying for easy sharing or note-taking
  • Feedback buttons - Like/dislike ratings to improve your app over time
  • Follow-up suggestions - AI generates 3 contextually relevant next questions

​
Session Management

Users can manage multiple conversation threads like modern messaging apps:
Conversation management sidebar
Conversation Controls:
  • Start new - Begin fresh conversations without losing context from previous ones
  • Pin important - Keep crucial conversations accessible at the top of the list
  • Delete finished - Clean up conversations that are no longer relevant
Each conversation thread maintains its own memory and context. Users can seamlessly switch between different topics or projects.

​
Conversation Openers

Enable conversation openers to eliminate the intimidating blank chat screen:

When users start new conversations, the AI proactively introduces itself and explains its capabilities. This immediately shows users what they can accomplish and increases engagement.
Conversation openers work especially well for specialized apps where users might not know all available features.

​
Follow-up Questions

The system automatically generates contextual follow-up questions after each AI response:
Follow-up question suggestions
These suggestions are:
  • Contextually relevant to the current conversation topic
  • Dynamically generated based on the AI’s response
  • Clickable shortcuts that help users explore deeper or pivot to related topics

​
Voice Input

Speech-to-text transforms your chat app into a voice-first experience:
Speech-to-text microphone button
How it works:
  1. The microphone button appears when you enable speech-to-text in your chatflow
  2. Users click to start recording their question
  3. Speech converts to text in real-time as they speak
  4. They can edit the text before sending or send immediately
Users must grant microphone permissions in their browser. The app will prompt for this permission when they first try to use voice input.

​
Source Citations

When your app references knowledge bases or external content, citations show users exactly where information comes from:
1

Enable citations

In your workspace, go to Add Function → Citation and Attribution.
2

Configure sources

Choose which knowledge bases should show citations when referenced.
3

Automatic display

Citations appear automatically with relevant AI responses.
Citations build user trust by providing transparency about information sources. Users can click through to verify details or explore source materials further.
For detailed citation setup, see Citation and Attribution.
