Wanted to add, in terms of extensibility, we've really tried to make the key parts of the UX hookable. Most of what you see on this page like tool / reasoning calls, voice, loaders, approvals, etc are completely replaceable in a few lines of plain JS: https://www.persona-chat.dev/advanced.html

It means you can do interesting things like go straight to OpenAI or Elevenlabs voice for read-aloud while streaming the main chat from your framework.

I'd like to improve the shareability of what's created in the ecosystem, but we're not quite there yet.

If you have ideas for more hooks or extensions you'd like to see, we're very much in listening mode.

My personal favorite demo is this JSPaint + WebMCP one https://www.persona-chat.dev/webmcp-paint.html

But more practical examples include: https://www.persona-chat.dev/webmcp-slides.html https://www.persona-chat.dev/webmcp-calendar.html

WebMCP's finally at a point where it makes sense to build against it (shipped in latest chrome + good polyfills available), and I've found it a pretty elegant way to extend existing FE apps by just hooking into your existing FE functions instead of having to build an AI assistant as a parallel thing that is ignorant of the user's session, what they're looking at, etc. This makes hybrid AI/app experiences feel much better.

Edit: I’ve been thinking about offering an overlay UI for a web based game and this could be a good fit for that. I’ll give it a spin later and let y’all know.

Not clear what this would do for me relative to all the other things out there.

The argument for react has always been dev velocity and ecosystem. But with AI the best web experiences will be as close to the “metal” as possible
