Chat Output

What and how it can be used:

The Chat Output component displays AI agent responses in a conversational chat interface. It renders messages from the agent in real-time, maintaining a visual dialogue between the user and the AI, and can display various content types including text, formatted content, and media. Works with message objects that contain conversation metadata.

When/how the component should be used:

  • Use alongside Chat Input to create complete conversational interfaces
  • Essential for displaying multi-turn conversation flows where users need to see the full dialogue history
  • When Agent Core processes user input and generates a response, it sends that response to Chat Output for display
