Web Chat

The Web Chat interface at /dashboard/chat lets you interact with your CodeSpar agent directly from the browser. No Slack, WhatsApp, or Discord setup required.

Overview

Web Chat provides the same agent capabilities available in messaging channels, wrapped in a browser-based interface. Every command that works in Slack or WhatsApp works identically in Web Chat.

Features

Streaming with Progress

Messages from the agent stream in real time using Server-Sent Events (SSE). You see the response as it is generated, with progress indicators for multi-step operations like code generation and PR creation.

Image Drag-and-Drop

Drag and drop screenshots or images directly into the chat input. The agent analyzes the image using vision capabilities, the same way it handles image attachments in Slack or Discord.

Deploy Alerts in Chat

When a deploy is triggered or a build fails, alerts appear directly in the chat timeline. You can approve or reject deploy requests without leaving the browser.

Same Commands as All Channels

Web Chat normalizes messages through the same NormalizedMessage interface used by every channel adapter. All 21 commands work identically:

status build
instruct add input validation to the signup endpoint
review PR #42
deploy staging
plan add user onboarding flow
lens how many users signed up this week
demo mcp-generator

Getting Started

1. Log in to the dashboard at codespar.dev/dashboard
2. Click Chat in the sidebar navigation
3. Type a command or natural language message
4. The agent responds in the same thread with streaming updates

When to Use Web Chat

• Quick checks when you are already in the dashboard
• First-time setup before configuring messaging channels
• Image-based debugging when you need to share a screenshot with the agent
• Deploy approvals when you want to review and approve from the browser

Comparison with Messaging Channels

Web Chat is not a replacement for messaging channels. It is a convenience interface for teams that want browser-based access alongside their existing channel setup.
