Capabilities

Everything a Modern Chat Needs

Powerful capabilities with AI orchestration — all self-hosted on your infrastructure.

Real-Time Messaging

WebSocket-powered conversations with instant replies, auto-loading message history, and a scroll-to-bottom return to the latest messages.

Voice Input

Click the microphone, speak your message, and it converts to text automatically — no third-party transcription service required.

Suggestion Chips

Pre-built action chips defined by the bot — tasks, mail, schedule, and help make the next step one click away.

Format Switchers

Toggle tables, infographics, cards, charts, timelines, comparison grids, or markdown to control how the AI formats every response.

Task Creation

Ask for a reminder or to-do and Chat creates the task with due date and notification, asking before confirming anything.

Markdown & Drafts

Full markdown rendering for code, tables, and links — plus draft emails and documents with Send, Edit, and Discard actions.
