Devic UI Integration Guide

This guide explains how to integrate the @devicai/ui library into your React application to add AI assistant chat capabilities.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• React 17+ application
• Devic API key (obtain from Devic dashboard)

Installation

npm install @devicai/ui
# or
yarn add @devicai/ui
# or
pnpm add @devicai/ui

Basic Integration

Step 1: Import Styles

Add the CSS import to your application entry point:

// App.tsx or index.tsx
import '@devicai/ui/styles.css';

Step 2: Wrap Your App with DevicProvider

import { DevicProvider } from '@devicai/ui';

function App() {
  return (
    <DevicProvider
      apiKey="your-devic-api-key"
      baseUrl="https://api.devic.ai"  // Optional, defaults to this
    >
      <YourApp />
    </DevicProvider>
  );
}

Step 3: Add ChatDrawer Component

import { ChatDrawer } from '@devicai/ui';

function YourApp() {
  return (
    <div>
      {/* Your app content */}

      <ChatDrawer
        assistantId="your-assistant-identifier"
        options={{
          position: 'right',
          welcomeMessage: 'Hello! How can I help you today?',
          suggestedMessages: [
            'Help me get started',
            'What can you do?',
            {
              content: <><span>🚀</span> Launch a workflow</>,
              message: 'I want to launch a workflow',
            },
          ],
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Multi-Tenant Integration

For SaaS applications with multiple tenants:

<DevicProvider
  apiKey="your-api-key"
  tenantId="acme-corp"                                  // the customer/organization
  tenantMetadata={{ name: 'Acme Corp', email: 'billing@acme.com', imageUrl: 'https://acme.com/logo.png' }}
  subtenantId="user-456"                                // the end user inside the tenant
  subtenantMetadata={{ id: 'user-456', name: 'Jane', email: 'jane@acme.com', imageUrl: 'https://…/jane.png' }}
>
  <ChatDrawer
    assistantId="support-assistant"
    tenantId="acme-corp"            // overrides the provider value
    subtenantId="user-456"          // overrides the provider value
    showUsageBar="onDemand"         // show a "Usage" toggle above the input
  />
</DevicProvider>

The tenantId / subtenantId you pass are forwarded to the Devic API on every message and auto-register the tenant and subtenant on the platform: the conversation is attributed to them and cost/usage roll up under that tenant (and per subtenant) in the Devic dashboard and Tenants API. subtenantId is sent explicitly; when omitted it falls back to subtenantMetadata.id (or the legacy tenantMetadata.userId). Both tenantId/subtenantId and their *Metadata can be set globally on the provider and overridden per ChatDrawer. See the devic-api skill's tenants reference for the management/usage/limits endpoints.

tenantMetadata and subtenantMetadata are typed (exported TenantMetadata and SubtenantMetadata, since 0.29.0): they give first-class fields — name/displayName, email, imageUrl (and id for subtenants) — used to enrich the tenant/subtenant display record (e.g. the avatar shown in the Devic Tenants UI), while still allowing any extra integrator-defined key ([key: string]: any). Sending these is optional; the avatar falls back to the subtenant's initials when no imageUrl is provided.

Conversation list scoping

The conversation selector in ChatDrawer filters the listed conversations by the resolved scope. When subtenantId is set (via provider or ChatDrawer prop), each end user sees only their own conversations rather than every conversation of the tenant; with only tenantId set, the list is scoped to the tenant. Resolution follows the usual precedence (explicit ChatDrawer prop overrides the DevicProvider value).

Using the client directly, listConversations accepts both scopes:

const { histories, total } = await client.listConversations('assistant-id', {
  tenantId: 'acme-corp',
  subtenantId: 'user-456', // optional — omit to list at the tenant level
  offset: 0,
  limit: 20,
});

Backed by the subtenantId query param on GET /api/v1/assistants/:id/chats (matched against the canonical metadata.subtenantId). Sending it against an older backend is harmless — unknown query params are ignored, so the list simply isn't subtenant-filtered.

Conversation Tags

Tags label a conversation. They are a top-level property of the message (the public API's tags: string[]), distinct from metadata and from tenantId/subtenantId — do not put them in tenantMetadata (that travels inside metadata, a different field, and won't become real tags).

You can set them at three levels; they are merged and deduped (provider ∪ component ∪ per-message), following the same precedence model as tenantId:

// 1) Globally on the provider — applied to every conversation
<DevicProvider apiKey="devic-xxx" tags={['web-app']}>
  {/* 2) Per ChatDrawer (also AICommandBar / AIGenerationButton) */}
  <ChatDrawer assistantId="support" tags={['support']} />
</DevicProvider>

// 3) Per message — via useDevicChat or a customPromptBox
const { sendMessage } = useDevicChat({ assistantId: 'support', tags: ['support'] });
sendMessage('My card was declined', { tags: ['urgent', 'billing'] });
// sent tags = ['web-app', 'support', 'urgent', 'billing'] (deduped)

// customPromptBox receives the same per-message channel:
//   sendMessage(text, files, { tags: ['urgent'] })

tags is accepted as a prop by ChatDrawer, AICommandBar and AIGenerationButton, and as an option by useDevicChat / useAICommandBar / useAIGenerationButton. All three components also inherit the provider's global tags.

Listing existing tags

To power autocompletion or filters, read the unique tags used across the account's chat histories:

const tags = await client.getChatTags(); // string[] — GET /api/v1/assistants/tags

Conversations returned by listConversations / chat history endpoints carry their own tags array. See the devic-api skill (assistants reference) for the server-side tags filter on the chats listing.

Usage bar

When the tenant/subtenant has usage limits configured, ChatDrawer can render a usage bar above the input, fed by the read-only GET /api/v1/tenant-usage endpoint (renders nothing when there are no limits):

| Prop | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | showUsageBar | boolean \| 'onDemand' | false | true = always visible; 'onDemand' = a small "Usage" toggle reveals it; false = hidden | | usageBarMetric | 'tokens' \| 'cost' | — | Restrict the bar to a single metric (default: all applicable rules) | | usageBarDisplay | UsageBarDisplay | { showPercent: true, showAllRules: true } | { showValues?, showPercent?, showAllRules? } — absolute values, %, and whether to show every applicable rule or only the most restrictive | | customUsageBar | (data: UsageBarData) => ReactNode | — | Render your own bar in the same slot; receives { rules, tierId, loading }. Providing it is enough to show the bar |

The UsageBar and LimitBanner components are also exported standalone.

Handling usage-limit blocks (429)

When a tenant/subtenant hits a configured limit, the message is blocked before the LLM call. ChatDrawer shows a built-in limit banner and disables the input while the limit is active (both sync 429 TENANT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED and async status: "limit_exceeded" are handled transparently):

| Prop | Type | Description | |------|------|-------------| | hideLimitBanner | boolean | Suppress the built-in banner (e.g. to render your own) | | limitBannerRenderer | (limit: TenantLimitExceeded) => ReactNode | Custom banner. The input stays disabled regardless while the limit is active |

useDevicChat() exposes the live block as limitExceeded: TenantLimitExceeded | null ({ message, blockingRule, current, limit, resetsAt }), so you can build your own UI. The client also offers read-only getTenantUsage(tenantId, subtenantId?) and getTenantUsageHistory(tenantId, options?). Exported types: TenantLimitExceeded, TenantUsage, TenantUsageRule, TenantUsageHistoryRow, UsageBarDisplay, UsageBarData, LimitBannerProps.

Client-Side Tools (Model Interface Protocol)

Enable the assistant to call functions in your application:

import { ChatDrawer, ModelInterfaceTool } from '@devicai/ui';

// Define client-side tools
const tools: ModelInterfaceTool[] = [
  {
    toolName: 'get_user_location',
    schema: {
      type: 'function',
      function: {
        name: 'get_user_location',
        description: 'Get the current user geographic location',
        parameters: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {},
        },
      },
    },
    callback: async () => {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
          (pos) => resolve({
            latitude: pos.coords.latitude,
            longitude: pos.coords.longitude,
          }),
          (err) => reject(new Error(err.message))
        );
      });
    },
  },
  {
    toolName: 'get_current_page',
    schema: {
      type: 'function',
      function: {
        name: 'get_current_page',
        description: 'Get the current page URL and title',
        parameters: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {},
        },
      },
    },
    callback: async () => ({
      url: window.location.href,
      title: document.title,
      pathname: window.location.pathname,
    }),
  },
  {
    toolName: 'navigate_to_page',
    schema: {
      type: 'function',
      function: {
        name: 'navigate_to_page',
        description: 'Navigate the user to a specific page',
        parameters: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            path: {
              type: 'string',
              description: 'The path to navigate to',
            },
          },
          required: ['path'],
        },
      },
    },
    callback: async ({ path }) => {
      window.location.href = path;
      return { success: true, navigatedTo: path };
    },
  },
];

function App() {
  return (
    <ChatDrawer
      assistantId="my-assistant"
      modelInterfaceTools={tools}
      onToolCall={(toolName, params) => {
        console.log(`Tool called: ${toolName}`, params);
      }}
    />
  );
}

Interactive Response Widgets

Instead of a callback, a tool can provide a responseWidget that renders a React component in the chat UI. The user interacts with the widget and the widget calls submit(response) to produce the tool response that is sent back to the model. Use this when the tool response depends on user input (confirmation, selection, rating, custom form, etc.).

Two render modes are supported:

• render: 'inline' — the widget is rendered inside the message thread at the position of the tool call. The chat input is disabled while inline widgets are pending.
• render: 'input' — the widget replaces the chat input area until it is submitted or cancelled. Only one input widget is shown at a time; additional calls are queued.

import {
  ChatDrawer,
  ModelInterfaceTool,
  ResponseWidgetProps,
} from '@devicai/ui';

// Inline confirmation widget
function ConfirmationWidget({ params, submit, cancel }: ResponseWidgetProps) {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>{params.action}</p>
      <button onClick={() => submit({ confirmed: true })}>Confirm</button>
      <button onClick={() => submit({ confirmed: false })}>Reject</button>
      <button onClick={() => cancel?.('Dismissed by user')}>Dismiss</button>
    </div>
  );
}

// Input-replacement rating widget
function RatingWidget({ params, submit, cancel }: ResponseWidgetProps) {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(0);
  return (
    <div>
      <span>Rate: {params.topic}</span>
      {[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map((n) => (
        <button key={n} onClick={() => setValue(n)}>{n <= value ? '★' : '☆'}</button>
      ))}
      <button disabled={!value} onClick={() => submit({ rating: value })}>Submit</button>
      <button onClick={() => cancel?.('Skipped')}>Skip</button>
    </div>
  );
}

const tools: ModelInterfaceTool[] = [
  {
    toolName: 'ask_user_confirmation',
    schema: {
      type: 'function',
      function: {
        name: 'ask_user_confirmation',
        description: 'Ask the user to confirm a destructive action',
        parameters: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            action: { type: 'string', description: 'Action to confirm' },
          },
          required: ['action'],
        },
      },
    },
    responseWidget: { render: 'inline', component: ConfirmationWidget },
  },
  {
    toolName: 'ask_user_rating',
    schema: {
      type: 'function',
      function: {
        name: 'ask_user_rating',
        description: 'Ask the user to rate a topic from 1 to 5',
        parameters: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
            topic: { type: 'string' },
          },
          required: ['topic'],
        },
      },
    },
    responseWidget: { render: 'input', component: RatingWidget },
  },
];

ResponseWidgetProps the component receives:

| Prop | Type | Description | |------|------|-------------| | toolCall | ToolCall | The full tool call from the model (id, name, arguments) | | params | any | Parsed toolCall.function.arguments | | submit | (response: any) => void | Send the tool response to the model. Response is passed as the tool call result | | cancel | (reason?: string) => void | Cancel the tool call. Sends an error response so the model can continue |

Rules:

• A tool must define either callback or responseWidget, not both.
• While any inline widgets are pending, the chat input is disabled.
• While an input widget is pending, it replaces the default input area.
• submit and cancel are one-shot — after either is called, the widget is removed and its tool response is sent to the model. Polling resumes automatically once all pending widgets resolve.

Low-level access via useDevicChat:

const {
  pendingWidgetCalls,
  submitWidgetResponse,
  cancelWidgetCall,
} = useDevicChat({ assistantId, modelInterfaceTools: tools });

Custom Chat UI with Hooks

Build a completely custom chat interface:

import { useDevicChat } from '@devicai/ui';

function CustomChat() {
  const {
    messages,
    isLoading,
    status,
    error,
    sendMessage,
    clearChat,
  } = useDevicChat({
    assistantId: 'my-assistant',
    onMessageReceived: (message) => {
      console.log('New message:', message);
    },
    onError: (error) => {
      console.error('Chat error:', error);
    },
  });

  const handleSubmit = (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    const formData = new FormData(e.currentTarget);
    const message = formData.get('message') as string;
    if (message.trim()) {
      sendMessage(message);
      e.currentTarget.reset();
    }
  };

  return (
    <div className="custom-chat">
      <div className="messages">
        {messages.map((msg) => (
          <div key={msg.uid} className={`message ${msg.role}`}>
            <strong>{msg.role}:</strong>
            <p>{msg.content.message}</p>
          </div>
        ))}
        {isLoading && <div className="loading">Thinking...</div>}
        {error && <div className="error">{error.message}</div>}
      </div>

      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
        <input
          name="message"
          placeholder="Type a message..."
          disabled={isLoading}
        />
        <button type="submit" disabled={isLoading}>
          Send
        </button>
      </form>

      <button onClick={clearChat}>Clear Chat</button>
    </div>
  );
}

File Uploads

Enable file attachments in chat. Files are uploaded to the Devic API (POST /api/v1/files/upload) by default, which returns a download URL that is sent along with the message.

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="document-assistant"
  options={{
    enableFileUploads: true,
    allowedFileTypes: {
      images: true,
      documents: true,
      audio: false,
      video: false,
    },
    maxFileSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB
  }}
/>

Custom File Upload Handler

Replace the default upload with your own implementation using onFileUpload. It receives the raw File objects and must return ChatFile[] with downloadUrl populated:

import { ChatDrawer, ChatFile } from '@devicai/ui';

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="document-assistant"
  options={{ enableFileUploads: true }}
  onFileUpload={async (files: File[]): Promise<ChatFile[]> => {
    // Upload to your own storage (S3, Firebase, etc.)
    const results = await Promise.all(
      files.map(async (file) => {
        const formData = new FormData();
        formData.append('file', file);
        const res = await fetch('/api/my-upload', { method: 'POST', body: formData });
        const { url } = await res.json();
        return {
          name: file.name,
          downloadUrl: url,
          fileType: file.type.startsWith('image/') ? 'image' : 'document',
        } as ChatFile;
      })
    );
    return results;
  }}
/>

Speech-to-Text (Voice Input)

Add a microphone to the prompt box that records audio, transcribes it via the Devic /whisper endpoint, and fills the input for review before sending.

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    enableSpeechToText: true,
    speechLanguage: 'es', // optional ISO-639-1 hint
  }}
/>

By default the recording auto-stops on silence (speechAutoStop) and transcribes itself. You can also enable a hands-free loop (speechHandoff, ≥ 0.20.0): the mic records, auto-sends after a short cancellable countdown (speechHandoffSendDelayMs), and re-opens once the assistant replies — until a silent turn or any interaction ends it.

You can also drive transcription from a customPromptBox (via the transcribeAudio prop, which accepts a binary or a URL) or build a fully custom recorder with the useSpeechRecording hook.

For the full guide — default UI flow, auto-stop, hands-free mode, custom prompt box integration, the useSpeechRecording hook and direct client usage — see speech-to-text.md.

Display Modes

ChatDrawer supports two display modes via the mode prop:

Drawer Mode (default)

Renders as an overlay panel with a floating trigger button. Can be toggled open/closed.

<ChatDrawer
  mode="drawer"
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    position: 'right',
    defaultOpen: false,
    zIndex: 1000,
  }}
/>

Inline Mode

Renders embedded in the page layout, always visible, no trigger button or toggle behavior.

<ChatDrawer
  mode="inline"
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    width: 400,
    borderRadius: 12,
  }}
/>

Resizable Drawer

Enable drag-to-resize with width constraints:

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    resizable: true,
    width: 400,
    minWidth: 300,
    maxWidth: 800,
    position: 'right', // resize handle appears on the opposite edge
  }}
/>

Custom Rendering

Custom Loading Indicator

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    loadingIndicator: <MySpinner />,
  }}
/>

Markdown rendering

Both assistant and user message bubbles render their text through markdown-to-jsx (≥ 0.30.0; before that, only assistant messages did). This means user input is interpreted as markdown — **bold**, _italic_, # headings, - lists, fenced code blocks, links and tables all render. Links, inline code and blockquotes are styled to stay legible on the colored user bubble, and single-line messages keep their original bubble height (outer paragraph margins are collapsed).

If your users paste content with stray markdown characters (*, _, #, 1.) be aware it will be formatted. To opt out — or to swap in your own renderer (a different markdown library, plain text, a rich component) — pass a custom bubble renderer per role, or use a customPromptBox for the input side.

Tables get a horizontally scrollable wrapper (.markdown-table); the markdown overrides are applied identically for both roles.

Custom message bubble renderers

Inject a component that replaces the built-in markdown renderer for the text content of a bubble, per role (≥ 0.31.0):

| Option | Type | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | userMessageRenderer | MessageBubbleRenderer | Replaces markdown for user bubbles | | assistantMessageRenderer | MessageBubbleRenderer | Replaces markdown for assistant bubbles |

import { ChatDrawer, MessageBubbleRendererProps } from '@devicai/ui';

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    // Raw, unformatted user text (opt out of markdown for user messages)
    userMessageRenderer: ({ content }) => <span>{content}</span>,
    // Your own renderer for assistant messages
    assistantMessageRenderer: ({ content, message }) => (
      <MyRichMarkdown text={content} raw={message} />
    ),
  }}
/>

The renderer receives MessageBubbleRendererProps:

| Prop | Type | Description | |------|------|-------------| | message | ChatMessage | The full message being rendered | | content | string | Text to render. For user messages the Elemento referenciado: … reference prefix is already stripped, so this is the user's actual text | | role | 'user' \| 'assistant' | Resolved role of the bubble | | references | string[] | Reference labels parsed out of the message (user messages only) |

Notes:

• The renderer only replaces the bubble's text content. Reference chips (above the bubble), file attachments and the voice playback control are still rendered by the library around the returned node.
• It is only invoked when there is text to render; a message with only attachments behaves as before.
• Without a renderer, the default markdown rendering applies (see Markdown rendering).

Exported types: MessageBubbleRenderer, MessageBubbleRendererProps.

Reference chip node

The chip that represents an AIElementWrapper reference is exported as a standalone node, ReferenceChip, so you can render the same chip in custom prompt boxes or custom message bubbles. It is the exact component used internally by ChatInput (active references, removable) and ChatMessages (read-only chips above a sent user bubble).

import { ReferenceChip } from '@devicai/ui';

// Removable chip in an input area
<ReferenceChip
  label="Acme Corp"
  variant="input"
  onRemove={() => removeReference(ref.id)}
/>

// Read-only chip above a message bubble
<ReferenceChip label="Acme Corp" variant="message" />

| Prop | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | label | string | required | Text shown in the chip (quoted automatically) | | variant | 'input' \| 'message' | 'input' | input = prompt-box styling; message = inside a sent bubble | | onRemove | () => void | — | When set, renders a × button (meaningful for input) | | icon | ReactNode | corner-down-right arrow | Override the default reference glyph | | className | string | — | Extra class appended to the chip root |

Exported types: ReferenceChipProps, ReferenceChipVariant.

Custom Prompt Box

Replace the entire default input area with a custom React component. The component receives sendMessage, stop, isLoading, and newConversation props so it can fully drive the conversation.

import { ChatDrawer, CustomPromptBoxProps } from '@devicai/ui';

function MyPromptBox({ sendMessage, stop, isLoading, newConversation }: CustomPromptBoxProps) {
  const [text, setText] = useState('');

  const handleSend = () => {
    if (!text.trim()) return;
    sendMessage(text.trim());
    setText('');
  };

  return (
    <div style={{ display: 'flex', gap: 8, padding: 8 }}>
      <button onClick={newConversation} title="New conversation">+</button>
      <input
        value={text}
        onChange={(e) => setText(e.target.value)}
        onKeyDown={(e) => e.key === 'Enter' && handleSend()}
        placeholder="Ask anything..."
        disabled={isLoading}
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
      />
      {isLoading ? (
        <button onClick={stop}>Stop</button>
      ) : (
        <button onClick={handleSend} disabled={!text.trim()}>Send</button>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    customPromptBox: (props) => <MyPromptBox {...props} />,
  }}
/>

The CustomPromptBoxProps interface:

| Prop | Type | Description | |------|------|-------------| | sendMessage | (message: string, files?: File[], meta?: { transcriptId?: string }) => void | Send a message (optionally with file attachments). Pass meta.transcriptId to link a speech-to-text transcript | | transcribeAudio | (audio: Blob \| string, options?: { language?, messageUid?, chatUid? }) => Promise<WhisperTranscriptionResponse> | Transcribe a binary (Blob/File) or a download URL via /whisper. See speech-to-text.md | | stop | () => void | Stop the current assistant processing | | isLoading | boolean | Whether the assistant is currently processing / polling | | newConversation | () => void | Clear the current conversation and start a new one | | references | AIReference[] | Active references created by AIElementWrapper components | | removeReference | (id: string) => void | Remove a single reference by id | | clearReferences | () => void | Clear all references |

Custom Send Button

The click handler is managed by an overlay, so the node doesn't need to handle click events.

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    sendButtonContent: <MyCustomIcon />,
  }}
/>

Custom Tool Renderers

Replace the default tool call summary with custom UI per tool name:

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    toolRenderers: {
      search_products: (input, output) => (
        <ProductGrid products={output.results} query={input.query} />
      ),
    },
    toolIcons: {
      search_products: <SearchIcon />,
    },
  }}
/>

Tool Groups (Grouped Tool Call Rendering)

Group consecutive tool calls into a single unified renderer. Useful for rendering sequences of related tool calls (e.g., terminal commands + file reads) as a cohesive UI block.

import { ChatDrawer, ToolGroupCall, ToolGroupConfig } from '@devicai/ui';

const toolGroups: ToolGroupConfig[] = [
  {
    tools: ['run_terminal_command', 'read_sandbox_file'],
    renderer: (calls: ToolGroupCall[]) => (
      <div className="terminal-trace">
        {calls.map((call) => (
          <div key={call.toolCallId} className="trace-entry">
            <code>{call.name}</code>
            <pre>{JSON.stringify(call.input, null, 2)}</pre>
            {call.output && <pre className="output">{JSON.stringify(call.output)}</pre>}
          </div>
        ))}
      </div>
    ),
  },
];

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    toolGroups,
    // toolRenderers still works for non-grouped tools
    toolRenderers: {
      search_web: (input, output) => <SearchResult query={input.query} results={output} />,
    },
  }}
/>

Tool groups work in all three components: ChatDrawer, AICommandBar, and AIGenerationButton. When consecutive tool calls match the same group's tools array, they are accumulated and passed as a single array to the group's renderer. Non-matching tools render individually as before (using toolRenderers or default rendering).

The segmentToolCalls utility is also exported for custom implementations:

import { segmentToolCalls, ToolGroupCall, ToolGroupConfig } from '@devicai/ui';

const segments = segmentToolCalls(calls, toolGroups);
// Returns: Array<{ type: 'group', config, calls } | { type: 'single', call, index }>

Theming

Using Props

All color and typography properties can be set via options:

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    color: '#6366f1',                    // Primary color
    backgroundColor: '#ffffff',          // Drawer background
    textColor: '#1e293b',               // Text color
    secondaryBackgroundColor: '#f8fafc', // Input/selector background
    borderColor: '#e2e8f0',             // Border color
    userBubbleColor: '#6366f1',         // User message bubble
    userBubbleTextColor: '#ffffff',     // User message text
    assistantBubbleColor: '#f1f5f9',    // Assistant message bubble
    assistantBubbleTextColor: '#1e293b',// Assistant message text
    sendButtonColor: '#6366f1',         // Send button background
    fontFamily: '"Inter", sans-serif',  // Font override
  }}
/>

Using CSS Variables

Override the default theme by setting CSS variables:

/* your-styles.css */
:root {
  --devic-primary: #6366f1;        /* Primary color */
  --devic-primary-hover: #4f46e5;  /* Primary hover */
  --devic-primary-light: #eef2ff;  /* Light primary background */
  --devic-bg: #ffffff;             /* Background */
  --devic-bg-secondary: #f8fafc;   /* Secondary background */
  --devic-text: #1e293b;           /* Text color */
  --devic-text-secondary: #64748b; /* Secondary text */
  --devic-text-muted: #94a3b8;     /* Muted text */
  --devic-border: #e2e8f0;         /* Border color */
  --devic-shadow: 0 10px 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  --devic-radius: 12px;            /* Border radius */
  --devic-radius-sm: 6px;
  --devic-radius-lg: 20px;
}

Using the color Option

Quick color customization:

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    color: '#6366f1', // Sets primary color
  }}
/>

Controlled Mode

Control the drawer state externally:

function App() {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(false);

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>
        Open Chat
      </button>

      <ChatDrawer
        assistantId="my-assistant"
        isOpen={isOpen}
        onOpen={() => setIsOpen(true)}
        onClose={() => setIsOpen(false)}
      />
    </>
  );
}

Continuing Existing Conversations

Load and continue a previous chat:

function App() {
  // Get chatUid from URL, localStorage, or your backend
  const existingChatUid = 'previous-chat-uid';

  return (
    <ChatDrawer
      assistantId="my-assistant"
      chatUid={existingChatUid}
      onChatCreated={(newChatUid) => {
        // Save the new chat UID for future reference
        localStorage.setItem('lastChatUid', newChatUid);
      }}
    />
  );
}

Event Callbacks

Handle various chat events:

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  onMessageSent={(message) => {
    // Track user messages
    analytics.track('chat_message_sent', {
      messageLength: message.content.message?.length,
    });
  }}
  onMessageReceived={(message) => {
    // Track assistant responses
    analytics.track('chat_message_received', {
      hasToolCalls: !!message.tool_calls?.length,
    });
  }}
  onToolCall={(toolName, params) => {
    // Track tool usage
    analytics.track('chat_tool_called', { toolName });
  }}
  onError={(error) => {
    // Report errors
    errorReporting.capture(error);
  }}
  onChatCreated={(chatUid) => {
    // Store chat reference
    saveChatReference(chatUid);
  }}
  onOpen={() => {
    // Track drawer open
    analytics.track('chat_opened');
  }}
  onClose={() => {
    // Track drawer close
    analytics.track('chat_closed');
  }}
/>

API Client Direct Usage

For advanced use cases, use the API client directly:

import { DevicApiClient } from '@devicai/ui';

const client = new DevicApiClient({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.devic.ai',
});

// List available assistants
const assistants = await client.getAssistants();

// Send a message (async mode)
const { chatUid } = await client.sendMessageAsync('assistant-id', {
  message: 'Hello!',
  tenantId: 'tenant-123',
  metadata: { source: 'web-app' },
});

// Poll for response
const checkResponse = async () => {
  const result = await client.getRealtimeHistory('assistant-id', chatUid);

  if (result.status === 'completed') {
    return result.chatHistory;
  } else if (result.status === 'error') {
    throw new Error('Processing failed');
  } else if (result.status === 'handed_off') {
    // Assistant delegated to a subagent
    // result.handedOffSubThreadId contains the subthread ID
    console.log('Handed off to subthread:', result.handedOffSubThreadId);
    // Continue polling until the handoff completes and processing resumes
  }

  // Continue polling
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000));
  return checkResponse();
};

const messages = await checkResponse();

Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

The library is SSR-compatible. Ensure you only render the ChatDrawer on the client:

// Next.js example
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';

const ChatDrawer = dynamic(
  () => import('@devicai/ui').then(mod => mod.ChatDrawer),
  { ssr: false }
);

function Page() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My Page</h1>
      <ChatDrawer assistantId="my-assistant" />
    </div>
  );
}

Message Feedback

Both ChatDrawer and AICommandBar support message feedback (thumbs up/down with optional comments). Feedback is submitted to the Devic API and associated with the chat.

ChatDrawer Feedback

Feedback buttons appear on assistant messages by default. Users can click thumbs up/down and optionally add a comment via a modal.

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    showFeedback: true, // default: true
  }}
/>

AICommandBar Feedback

When showResultCard is enabled, feedback buttons appear below the response. The feedback UI automatically adapts to the command bar's theme.

<AICommandBar
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    showResultCard: true,
    // Feedback inherits theme from these options:
    backgroundColor: '#1f2937',
    textColor: '#f9fafb',
    borderColor: '#374151',
  }}
/>

Feedback Theming

The feedback modal and action buttons automatically inherit theme colors from the parent component. For custom implementations, you can pass a FeedbackTheme object:

interface FeedbackTheme {
  backgroundColor?: string;      // Modal background
  textColor?: string;            // Primary text
  textMutedColor?: string;       // Muted/secondary text
  secondaryBackgroundColor?: string; // Button backgrounds, hover states
  borderColor?: string;          // Modal borders
  primaryColor?: string;         // Primary action color
  primaryHoverColor?: string;    // Primary button hover
}

Feedback API

Feedback is automatically submitted to the Devic API using these endpoints:

• POST /api/v1/assistants/:identifier/chats/:chatUid/feedback - Submit feedback
• GET /api/v1/assistants/:identifier/chats/:chatUid/feedback - Get feedback entries

You can also use the API client directly:

import { DevicApiClient, FeedbackSubmission } from '@devicai/ui';

const client = new DevicApiClient({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

// Submit feedback
const feedback: FeedbackSubmission = {
  messageId: 'message-uid',
  feedback: true,  // true = positive, false = negative
  feedbackComment: 'Very helpful response!',
  feedbackData: { category: 'accuracy' },
};

await client.submitChatFeedback('assistant-id', 'chat-uid', feedback);

// Get all feedback for a chat
const entries = await client.getChatFeedback('assistant-id', 'chat-uid');

Feedback Types

import type {
  FeedbackSubmission,
  FeedbackEntry,
  FeedbackTheme,
} from '@devicai/ui';

// Submission payload
interface FeedbackSubmission {
  messageId: string;
  feedback?: boolean;              // true = positive, false = negative
  feedbackComment?: string;        // Optional comment
  feedbackData?: Record<string, any>; // Custom metadata
}

// Response from API
interface FeedbackEntry {
  _id: string;
  requestId: string;
  chatUID?: string;
  feedback?: boolean;
  feedbackComment?: string;
  feedbackData?: Record<string, any>;
  creationTimestamp: string;
  lastEditTimestamp?: string;
}

AICommandBar Component

A floating command bar (similar to Spotlight/Command Palette) for quick AI interactions. It provides a minimal input interface that processes messages, shows tool execution progress, and displays results in a compact card.

Basic Usage

import { AICommandBar } from '@devicai/ui';

function App() {
  return (
    <AICommandBar
      assistantId="my-assistant"
      options={{
        placeholder: 'Ask AI...',
        shortcut: 'cmd+k',
      }}
      onResponse={({ message, toolCalls }) => {
        console.log('Response:', message.content);
      }}
    />
  );
}

Fixed Position with Keyboard Shortcut

<AICommandBar
  assistantId="support-assistant"
  options={{
    position: 'fixed',
    fixedPlacement: { bottom: 20, right: 20 },
    shortcut: 'cmd+j',
    placeholder: 'Ask AI about your data...',
    showShortcutHint: true,
  }}
/>

Integration with ChatDrawer

Hand off conversations to the full ChatDrawer after getting a quick answer:

import { useRef } from 'react';
import { AICommandBar, ChatDrawer, ChatDrawerHandle } from '@devicai/ui';

function App() {
  const drawerRef = useRef<ChatDrawerHandle>(null);

  return (
    <>
      <AICommandBar
        assistantId="my-assistant"
        onExecute="openDrawer"
        chatDrawerRef={drawerRef}
        options={{
          shortcut: 'cmd+k',
          showResultCard: false, // Don't show result since drawer opens
        }}
      />

      <ChatDrawer
        ref={drawerRef}
        assistantId="my-assistant"
      />
    </>
  );
}

Command History

Command history is enabled by default. Users can:

• Press Arrow Up/Down to navigate through previous prompts
• Use the /history command to see the history list
• Click on a history item to reuse it

<AICommandBar
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    enableHistory: true,           // default: true
    maxHistoryItems: 50,           // default: 50
    historyStorageKey: 'my-app-command-history', // localStorage key
    showHistoryCommand: true,      // adds /history command
  }}
/>

Commands System

Define slash commands that trigger predefined messages:

<AICommandBar
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    commands: [
      {
        keyword: 'summarize',
        description: 'Summarize the current page',
        message: 'Please summarize the content of this page.',
        icon: <SummarizeIcon />,
      },
      {
        keyword: 'translate',
        description: 'Translate selected text',
        message: 'Translate the following text to Spanish: ',
      },
      {
        keyword: 'explain',
        description: 'Explain like I\'m five',
        message: 'Explain this concept in simple terms: ',
      },
    ],
  }}
/>

When the user types /, a dropdown shows available commands. Arrow keys navigate, Enter selects, Tab autocompletes.

Custom Tool Rendering

Display tool calls with custom icons and renderers:

<AICommandBar
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    toolIcons: {
      search_database: <DatabaseIcon />,
      fetch_weather: <WeatherIcon />,
    },
    toolRenderers: {
      search_database: (input, output) => (
        <div className="custom-result">
          Found {output.count} results for "{input.query}"
        </div>
      ),
    },
  }}
/>

Theming

<AICommandBar
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    color: '#6366f1',              // Primary color (spinner, badges)
    backgroundColor: '#ffffff',    // Bar background
    textColor: '#1f2937',          // Text color
    borderColor: '#e5e7eb',        // Border color
    borderRadius: 12,              // Border radius (px or string)
    fontFamily: 'Inter, sans-serif',
    fontSize: 14,
    padding: '12px 16px',
    boxShadow: '0 4px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
    animationDuration: 200,        // ms
  }}
/>

Controlled Visibility

function App() {
  const [isVisible, setIsVisible] = useState(false);
  const commandBarRef = useRef<AICommandBarHandle>(null);

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => commandBarRef.current?.toggle()}>
        Toggle Command Bar
      </button>

      <AICommandBar
        ref={commandBarRef}
        assistantId="my-assistant"
        isVisible={isVisible}
        onVisibilityChange={setIsVisible}
        onOpen={() => console.log('Opened')}
        onClose={() => console.log('Closed')}
      />
    </>
  );
}

Using the Hook Directly

For custom UI implementations:

import { useAICommandBar, formatShortcut } from '@devicai/ui';

function CustomCommandBar() {
  const {
    isVisible,
    open,
    close,
    toggle,
    inputValue,
    setInputValue,
    inputRef,
    focus,
    isProcessing,
    currentToolSummary,
    toolCalls,
    result,
    error,
    history,
    showingHistory,
    showingCommands,
    filteredCommands,
    submit,
    reset,
    handleKeyDown,
  } = useAICommandBar({
    assistantId: 'my-assistant',
    options: { shortcut: 'cmd+k' },
    onResponse: (result) => console.log(result),
  });

  if (!isVisible) return null;

  return (
    <div className="my-command-bar">
      {isProcessing ? (
        <span>{currentToolSummary || 'Processing...'}</span>
      ) : (

AIGenerationButton Component

A button component for triggering AI generation with three configurable interaction modes. Useful for "Generate with AI" buttons in forms, editors, and other UI contexts.

Basic Usage

import { AIGenerationButton } from '@devicai/ui';

function App() {
  return (
    <AIGenerationButton
      assistantId="my-assistant"
      options={{
        mode: 'modal',
        modalTitle: 'Generate Content',
        placeholder: 'Describe what you want to generate...',
      }}
      onResponse={({ message }) => {
        console.log('Generated:', message.content.message);
      }}
    />
  );
}

Interaction Modes

Direct Mode

Sends a predefined prompt immediately when clicked. Best for specific, predetermined actions.

<AIGenerationButton
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    mode: 'direct',
    prompt: 'Generate a product description based on the form data',
    label: 'Auto-Generate Description',
    loadingLabel: 'Generating...',
  }}
  onBeforeSend={(prompt) => {
    // Optionally modify the prompt before sending
    return `${prompt}\n\nProduct: ${productName}`;
  }}
  onResponse={({ message }) => setDescription(message.content.message)}
/>

Modal Mode (Default)

Opens a modal dialog for the user to enter a custom prompt.

<AIGenerationButton
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    mode: 'modal',
    modalTitle: 'Generate with AI',
    modalDescription: 'Describe what you want and the AI will generate it for you.',
    placeholder: 'E.g., Create a function that validates email addresses...',
    confirmText: 'Generate',
    cancelText: 'Cancel',
  }}
  onResponse={({ message }) => {
    // Handle the generated content
    setCode(message.content.message);
  }}
/>

Tooltip Mode

Shows a compact inline input next to the button. Good for quick prompts without modal interruption.

<AIGenerationButton
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    mode: 'tooltip',
    tooltipPlacement: 'bottom', // 'top' | 'bottom' | 'left' | 'right'
    tooltipWidth: 350,
    placeholder: 'What should I generate?',
  }}
  onResponse={handleGeneration}
/>

Button Styling

<AIGenerationButton
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    // Button variant
    variant: 'primary', // 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'outline' | 'ghost'

    // Button size
    size: 'medium', // 'small' | 'medium' | 'large'

    // Label and icon
    label: 'Generate with AI',
    hideLabel: false, // Set true for icon-only button
    icon: <CustomSparkleIcon />, // Custom icon
    hideIcon: false,

    // Loading state
    loadingLabel: 'Generating...',
  }}
/>

Theming

<AIGenerationButton
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    color: '#6366f1',           // Primary color
    backgroundColor: '#ffffff',  // Button background (for secondary/outline variants)
    textColor: '#1f2937',        // Text color
    borderColor: '#e5e7eb',      // Border color
    borderRadius: 8,             // Border radius
    fontFamily: 'Inter, sans-serif',
    fontSize: 14,
    zIndex: 10000,               // Z-index for modal/tooltip
    animationDuration: 200,      // Animation duration in ms
  }}
/>

Custom Button Content

Use children to completely customize the button appearance:

<AIGenerationButton
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{ mode: 'modal' }}
  onResponse={handleResponse}
>
  <span className="my-custom-button">
    <SparkleIcon /> Generate Code
  </span>
</AIGenerationButton>

Programmatic Control

Use ref to control the component programmatically:

import { useRef } from 'react';
import { AIGenerationButton, AIGenerationButtonHandle } from '@devicai/ui';

function Editor() {
  const buttonRef = useRef<AIGenerationButtonHandle>(null);

  const handleKeyboardShortcut = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
    if (e.metaKey && e.key === 'g') {
      buttonRef.current?.open(); // Open modal/tooltip
    }
  };

  const generateDirectly = async () => {
    const result = await buttonRef.current?.generate('Generate a summary');
    if (result) {
      console.log('Generated:', result.message.content.message);
    }
  };

  return (
    <AIGenerationButton
      ref={buttonRef}
      assistantId="my-assistant"
      options={{ mode: 'modal' }}
      onResponse={handleResponse}
    />
  );
}

Using the Hook Directly

For completely custom UI implementations:

import { useAIGenerationButton } from '@devicai/ui';

function CustomGenerateButton() {
  const {
    isOpen,
    isProcessing,
    inputValue,
    setInputValue,
    error,
    result,
    inputRef,
    open,
    close,
    generate,
    reset,
    handleKeyDown,
  } = useAIGenerationButton({
    assistantId: 'my-assistant',
    onResponse: (result) => console.log('Generated:', result),
    onError: (error) => console.error('Error:', error),
  });

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => open()}>
        {isProcessing ? 'Generating...' : 'Generate'}
      </button>

      {isOpen && (
        <div className="custom-modal">
          <textarea
            ref={inputRef}
            value={inputValue}
            onChange={(e) => setInputValue(e.target.value)}
            onKeyDown={handleKeyDown}
            placeholder="Describe what to generate..."
          />
          <button onClick={() => generate()} disabled={isProcessing}>
            {isProcessing ? 'Working...' : 'Generate'}
          </button>
          <button onClick={close}>Cancel</button>
          {error && <p className="error">{error.message}</p>}
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}

AIElementWrapper Component

The AIElementWrapper wraps any React node and turns it into an AI-queryable element. When the user activates the floating trigger, the wrapper either:

• Shows an inline floating tooltip with the assistant's answer (behavior: 'inline'), or
• Pushes the wrapped element as a "reference" into the active ChatDrawer and opens the drawer (behavior: 'drawer').

The trigger and inline tooltip are rendered through a React portal anchored via position: fixed, so they always render above other UI (including the ChatDrawer) regardless of stacking context.

Quick Example

import { DevicProvider, ChatDrawer, AIElementWrapper } from '@devicai/ui';

function App() {
  return (
    <DevicProvider apiKey="devic-xxx">
      {/* Inline behavior: hover the underlined value, click the pill,
          and the AI's answer appears in a floating tooltip. */}
      Última actualización:{' '}
      <AIElementWrapper
        label="Última actualización"
        data={{ value: 'hace un momento' }}
        behavior="inline"
        assistantId="my-assistant"
        getPrompt={({ data, label }) =>
          `Explica qué significa "${label}" siendo ${data?.value}.`
        }
      >
        <strong>hace un momento</strong>
      </AIElementWrapper>

      {/* Drawer behavior: pulling the trigger pushes a reference chip into
          the ChatDrawer's prompt and opens the drawer. */}
      <AIElementWrapper
        label="Acme Corp"
        data={{ country: 'ES', employees: 350 }}
        behavior="drawer"
        options={{ showOn: 'hover', triggerLabel: 'Preguntar al chat' }}
      >
        <CompanyCard company={acme} />
      </AIElementWrapper>

      {/* The drawer auto-registers itself in the DevicProvider so the
          wrapper above can open it. No drawer ref or prop needed. */}
      <ChatDrawer assistantId="my-assistant" mode="inline" />
    </DevicProvider>
  );
}

Behaviors

| Behavior | What happens on activation | |----------|----------------------------| | inline | Sends the prompt built by getPrompt({ data, label }) (or Cuéntame más sobre: <label> by default) and renders the answer in a floating tooltip near the wrapped element. Requires assistantId. | | drawer | Adds an AIReference to the DevicProvider registry and calls openDrawer(). The reference appears as a chip in the ChatDrawer's input area; the ChatDrawer prefixes the next user message with Elemento referenciado: "<labels>"\n\n<msg> and the user-message render shows a chip widget instead of the raw prefix. |

showOn modes

The trigger pill can appear under different conditions:

| showOn | Behavior | |----------|----------| | 'hover' (default) | Visible while the wrapper or the trigger itself is hovered. Hover survives the gap between wrapper and pill (200 ms grace period). | | 'click' | Visible only while the inline tooltip is open. | | 'always' | Always visible. | | 'select' | Visible only while the user has selected text inside the wrapper. The trigger anchors to the selection rectangle, not the wrapper. In behavior: 'drawer' mode, the selected text replaces the label of the reference. |

Only one wrapper across the page can show its trigger at a time; later activations transparently hide previously active wrappers via a singleton registry.

Anatomy of the floating UI

• Trigger pill: portal-rendered, position: fixed, anchored to the wrapper bounding rect (or the selection rect for showOn: 'select').
• Inline tooltip (only behavior: 'inline'): portal-rendered, anchored to the same rect, contains a header with the label and a body with the assistant's response. While processing, shows a spinner with "Pensando…".

AIElementWrapperProps

| Prop | Type | Description | |------|------|-------------| | label | string | Short identifier for the element. Used as chip text in drawer mode and as default-prompt fallback. | | data | Record<string, any> | Optional structured data, passed to getPrompt and stored on the reference. | | referenceContent | React.ReactNode | Optional rich content stored on the reference (drawer mode). | | behavior | 'inline' \| 'drawer' | Default 'inline'. | | trigger | React.ReactNode | Replaces the default sparkles+label pill. Click handler is attached automatically. | | options | AIElementWrapperOptions | Display options (see below). | | assistantId | string | Required when behavior='inline'. | | getPrompt | (args: { data?: any; label: string }) => string | Builds the prompt (inline mode). | | apiKey / baseUrl / tenantId / tenantMetadata | overrides for the DevicProvider. | | modelInterfaceTools | ModelInterfaceTool[] | Client-side tools (inline mode). | | inlineRenderer | (message: ChatMessage) => React.ReactNode | Custom renderer for the inline answer. | | onActivate / onInlineResponse / onError | Callbacks. | | className / style | Wrapper styling. | | children | React.ReactNode | The element being wrapped. |

AIElementWrapperOptions

| Option | Type | Default | Description | |--------|------|---------|-------------| | showOn | 'hover' \| 'click' \| 'always' \| 'select' | 'hover' | When the trigger pill appears. | | triggerPlacement | 'top' \| 'bottom' \| 'left' \| 'right' | 'bottom' | Trigger position relative to the anchor. | | tooltipPlacement | same | 'bottom' | Inline tooltip position. | | tooltipWidth | number \| string | 360 | Inline tooltip width. | | triggerLabel | string | 'Preguntar a IA' | Text inside the default pill. | | highlightOnInteract | boolean | true | Whether to highlight the wrapped content while interacting. | | zIndex | number | 2_147_483_000 | z-index of the portal-rendered overlays. | | triggerBorderRadius | number \| string | 999 | Border radius of the default pill. | | color | string | — | Primary color of the trigger gradient and tooltip accents. | | defaultInlinePrompt | string | — | Used when getPrompt is not provided. |

AIElementWrapperHandle

| Method | Description | |--------|-------------| | activate() | Programmatically click the trigger. | | close() | Close the inline tooltip (no-op for drawer mode). |

Reference handling on ChatDrawer

When behavior='drawer' is used, the wrapper integrates with the ChatDrawer through the DevicProvider (no extra prop wiring needed):

1. The wrapper calls addReference({ label, content, data }) on the provider and openDrawer().
2. The active ChatDrawer reads references[] from the provider context and:
   • Renders chip widgets above the textarea (or passes them to a custom prompt box).
   • On send, prefixes the user message with Elemento referenciado: "<labels>"\n\n<message>.
   • Clears the references after sending.
3. When the user message renders in the bubble, the prefix is parsed out and shown as ReferenceChip nodes (variant="message") above the bubble — the bubble itself only displays the user's actual message text, rendered as markdown (see Markdown rendering). The LLM still receives the full prefixed content.

The same ReferenceChip component is used for the active references inside the input area (variant="input", with a remove button) and for the read-only chips above sent user bubbles, so both look identical. It is exported for reuse (see Reference chip node).

Custom prompt box integration

CustomPromptBoxProps exposes the references so a custom input can render or strip them itself. You can reuse the exported ReferenceChip to match the default look:

import { ReferenceChip, CustomPromptBoxProps } from '@devicai/ui';

function MyPromptBox({
  sendMessage,
  references,
  removeReference,
  isLoading,
}: CustomPromptBoxProps) {
  return (
    <div>
      {references.map((r) => (
        <ReferenceChip
          key={r.id}
          label={r.label}
          variant="input"
          onRemove={() => removeReference(r.id)}
        />
      ))}
      <TextInput
        onSubmit={(text) => sendMessage(text)}
        disabled={isLoading}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

DevicContext extensions

The DevicProvider now exposes references and drawer registration in the context value:

| Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | references: AIReference[] | Active references created by AIElementWrapper instances. | | addReference(ref): string | Adds a reference, returns its generated id. | | removeReference(id) / clearReferences() | Reference management. | | registerDrawer(handle): unregister | Internal — ChatDrawer calls this on mount to make itself reachable to openDrawer(). | | openDrawer() | Opens the registered ChatDrawer. |

Notes

• The wrapper does not require a DevicProvider to work in 'inline' mode (you can pass apiKey/baseUrl directly), but 'drawer' mode does need a provider so the wrapper can locate the registered ChatDrawer.
• The trigger pill carries its own copy of the CSS variables (--devic-aiwrap-color, etc.) because portals do not inherit custom properties from the wrapper's stacking context.
• The 'select' mode also adapts the prompt: if getPrompt is not provided, the prompt becomes Cuéntame más sobre: "<selected text>".

Subagent Handoff System

The library supports assistant-to-subagent handoff, where an assistant delegates work to a specialized agent. During handoff, the chat input is automatically disabled and a widget displays the subagent's progress in real time.

How It Works

1. The assistant calls a hand_off_subagent tool, which creates a subthread on the backend
2. The realtime polling response status changes to handed_off with a handedOffSubThreadId field
3. useDevicChat detects the handed_off status, stops main polling, and sets handedOff: true with the subthread ID
4. ChatInput is disabled with a "Waiting for subagent to complete" notice
5. A HandoffSubagentWidget renders inline in the tool timeline, polling the subthread every 5s for status, tasks progress, and summary
6. A background handoff poll checks the realtime endpoint every 5s to detect when the parent thread is no longer in handed_off state
7. When the subthread reaches a terminal state (completed, failed, terminated), the widget calls onHandoffCompleted which clears handoff state and resumes main polling to pick up the parent thread's continuation

Automatic Handoff in ChatDrawer

When using ChatDrawer, handoff is handled automatically. No extra configuration is needed — the widget appears inline when a hand_off_subagent tool call is detected, and the input is disabled until completion.

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  // Handoff works out of the box
/>

Custom Handoff Widget

Replace the default handoff widget UI using handoffWidgetRenderer:

<ChatDrawer
  assistantId="my-assistant"
  options={{
    handoffWidgetRenderer: ({ thread, agent, elapsedSeconds, isTerminal }) => (
      <div className="my-custom-handoff">
        <span>{agent?.name || 'Subagent'} is working...</span>
        {thread?.tasks && (
          <span>
            {thread.tasks.filter(t => t.completed).length}/{thread.tasks.length} tasks
          </span>
        )}
        {isTerminal && <span>Done!</span>}
      </div>
    ),
  }}
/>

HandoffSubagentWidget (Standalone)

Use HandoffSubagentWidget directly for custom chat UIs:

import { HandoffSubagentWidget } from '@devicai/ui';

<HandoffSubagentWidget
  subThreadId="thread-abc-123"
  onCompleted={() => console.log('Subagent finished')}
  renderWidget={({ thread, agent, elapsedSeconds, isTerminal }) => (
    <MyCustomWidget thread={thread} agent={agent} />
  )}
/>

HandoffSubagentWidget Props Reference

| Prop | Type | Default | Description | |------|------|---------|-------------| | subThreadId | string | required | The subthread ID to monitor | | onCompleted | () => void | — | Called when subthread reaches a terminal state | | apiKey | string | — | API key (overrides provider) | | baseUrl | string | — | Base URL (overrides provider) | | renderWidget | (props: { thread, agent, elapsedSeconds, isTerminal }) => ReactNode | — | Custom renderer replacing the entire widget |

useDevicChat Handoff Fields

When building custom UIs with useDevicChat, the hook exposes handoff state:

import { useDevicChat } from '@devicai/ui';

function CustomChat() {
  const {
    messages,
    sendMessage,
    handedOff,              // true when a handoff is active
    handedOffSubThreadId,   // subthread ID being monitored
    onHandoffCompleted,     // callback for HandoffSubagentWidget
    // ...other fields
  } = useDevicChat({ assistantId: 'my-assistant' });

  return (
    <div>
      {/* Render messages, detect hand_off_subagent tool calls */}
      {handedOff && handedOffSubThreadId && (
        <HandoffSubagentWidget
          subThreadId={handedOffSubThreadId}
          onCompleted={onHandoffCompleted}
        />
      )}

      <input disabled={handedOff} placeholder="Type a message..." />
    </div>
  );
}

| Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | handedOff | boolean | Whether the assistant has handed off to a subagent (set when realtime status is handed_off) | | handedOffSubThreadId | string \| null | The active subthread ID (from RealtimeChatHistory.handedOffSubThreadId) | | onHandoffCompleted | () => void | Callback that clears handoff state and resumes main polling when subagent finishes | | status | RealtimeStatus \| 'idle' | Current status — includes 'handed_off' when a handoff is active |

ThreadStateTag Component

A standalone component that displays the current state of an agent thread as a colored tag with an interactive dropdown for actions (explain, pause, resume, approve, complete).

Basic Usage

import { ThreadStateTag, AgentThreadState } from '@devicai/ui';

<ThreadStateTag
  state={AgentThreadState.PROCESSING}
  threadId="thread-abc-123"
  agentName="Research Agent"
/>

Interactive Actions

When interactive is true (default), clicking the tag opens a dropdown with context-specific actions:

• Explain Thread: AI-generated explanation of what the thread has done (with typing animation)
• Pause/Resume: Pause a processing thread or resume a paused one
• Review Approval: Approve or reject a thread waiting for approval
• Complete Manually: Admin action to manually complete/fail/terminate a thread

<ThreadStateTag
  state={AgentThreadState.PAUSED_FOR_APPROVAL}
  threadId="thread-abc-123"
  agentName="Deployment Agent"
  showAdminActions={true}
  onActionComplete={(info) => {
    if (info === 'WAITING_FOR_RESPONSE_EXPIRED') {
      console.log('Response window expired');
    }
    refreshThread();
  }}
/>

Display-Only Mode

Disable the dropdown for read-only contexts:

<ThreadStateTag
  state={thread.state}

Agent API Client Methods

The DevicApiClient includes methods for managing agent threads:

import { DevicApiClient } from '@devicai/ui';

const client = new DevicApiClient({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });

// Get thread details (optionally with tasks)
const thread = await client.getThreadById('thread-id', true);

// Get agent details
const agent = await client.getAgentDetails('agent-id');

// Get AI explanation of thread execution
const explanation = await client.explainAgentThread('thread-id');

// Pause or resume a thread
await client.pauseResumeThread('thread-id', 'paused');
await client.pauseResumeThread('thread-id', 'queued');

// Handle approval (approve/reject with optional retry and message)
await client.handleThreadApproval('thread-id', true, false, 'Looks good');

// Manually complete a thread
await client.completeThread('thread-id', 'completed');

// Get full chat content (used after handoff completes)
const messages = await client.getChatHistoryContent('assistant-id', 'chat-uid');

Troubleshooting

Chat not loading

1. Verify your API key is correct
2. Check the browser console for errors
3. Ensure the assistant identifier exists

Styles not applied

1. Make sure you imported the CSS: import '@devicai/ui/styles.css'
2. Check for CSS conflicts with your application styles
3. Try increasing specificity or using CSS variables

Tools not being called

1. Verify the tool schema matches OpenAI function calling format
2. Check that toolName matches function.name in schema
3. Ensure the assistant has been configured to use client-side tools

Handoff widget not appearing

1. Ensure the assistant is configured with a hand_off_subagent tool on the backend
2. The widget renders inside the tool timeline — verify showToolTimeline is not set to false
3. Check that the API key has permission to access agent thread endpoints
4. Verify the realtime response returns status: 'handed_off' with handedOffSubThreadId — the handoff detection relies on this
5. Check console for [useDevicChat] Handoff state set: logs to confirm the subthread ID is being received

File uploads not working

1. Enable file uploads in options: enableFileUploads: true
2. Check allowed file types configuration
3. Verify file size is within limits (default 10MB in UI, 25MB max at API)
4. If using the default upload (no onFileUpload), ensure the API key has access to POST /api/v1/files/upload
5. If using a custom onFileUpload, ensure it returns ChatFile[] with valid downloadUrl values
