Chat page & widget controls
Everything that appears on the hosted chat page at /chat/[slug]: opening the side menu, switching between text and audio, picking a voice, managing playback, and how messages show citations and actions.
- Use a bot's Publish tab to copy the public chat link.
- URL format: /chat/[bot-slug] (accepts query filters when allowed).
- Embed mode: append ?embed=true to hide the burger menu button when you use the widget inside your site.
- Opens from the top-left burger. On mobile it slides over the page and closes on backdrop tap; on desktop it collapses to width 0 when closed.
- Preferences persist per browser via local storage (mode, voice, playback speed, and transcribe language).
Mode
- Toggle between Text mode and Audio mode.
Playback speed
- Choose 0.8x, 1x, 1.2x, or 1.5x for spoken replies.
Voice
- Pick any available OpenAI voice (alloy, ash, ballad, coral, ember, glass, meteor, mist, moon, shimmer, sol).
Transcribe language
- Auto, English, Arabic, Russian, French, or Spanish for voice capture.
Appearance
- Light, Dark, or System theme for the widget shell.
- Standard textarea with Enter to send and Shift+Enter for a newline.
- Suggested actions show above the input until the first message is sent.
- Hold the mic button in the input to record a quick clip; it transcribes and sends without auto-playing the reply.
- Stop button appears while a response is streaming.
- “New Chat” button (top-right pencil) clears the thread, citations, and any playing audio.
- Large hold-to-talk button sends a voice clip, transcribes it, and auto-plays the assistant reply.
- Statuses surface above the control: Recording → Transcribing → Responding → Speaking.
- Last transcript text stays visible so you can resend or confirm what was captured.
- Recording is blocked while the app is transcribing, responding, or speaking to avoid overlaps.
- Greeting title/label render before the first message (set in Display settings).
- Message bubbles support citations (files) and websites consulted, shown when show-source toggles are enabled for the bot.
- Tool outputs render inline: product displays, generated images, and dynamic tool cards.
- Assistant messages offer Retry, Copy, Like, and Dislike actions; Copy also works on user messages.
- Scroll-to-bottom pill appears when the thread is long.
- Audio replies attach a player when speech synthesis is requested (voice + playback speed settings apply).
- The burger menu hides when ?embed=true is present so the widget stays minimal inside iframes.
- Voice, playback, and language picks are per-browser and persist after refresh; they do not sync across devices.
- If a response errors or disconnects, a toast appears and the last recording is cleared.
