This library provides a set of React components for rapidly building LLM-powered chat interfaces. It targets developers seeking to integrate conversational AI features into their applications, offering a streamlined way to create rich, dynamic, and user-friendly chat experiences.

How It Works

ProChat leverages a component-based architecture to abstract the complexities of LLM chat interactions. Key features include automatic conversation caching for continuity, flexible conversation styling, message editing tools (redo, edit, delete), and an auto-rendered Markdown display for rich text output. It also offers programmatic control via refs for fine-grained management of the chat flow.
