A faster way to build chatbot UIs.

Welcome to Chainlit 👋

A faster way to build chatbot UIs.

Chainlit lets you create chatbot UIs on top of any Python code in minutes. It’s all Python, open-source, and free! Some of the key features include intermediary steps visualisation, element management & display (images, text, carousel, etc.) as well as cloud deployment.

Installation

Open a terminal and run:

$ pip install chainlit
$ chainlit hello

If this opens the hello app in your browser, you're all set!

🚀 Quickstart

🐍 Pure Python

Create a new file demo.py with the following code:

import chainlit as cl


@cl.on_message  # this function will be called every time a user inputs a message in the UI
def main(message: str):
    # this is an intermediate step
    cl.send_message(author="Tool 1", content=f"Response from tool1", indent=1)

    # send back the final answer
    cl.send_message(content=f"This is the final answer")

Now run it!

$ chainlit run demo.py -w
