message-minusSide Chat (Dashboard)

The Dashboard Side Chat, an AI Assistant, helps you build apps and manage your Arkain workspace — all from a single chat interface. Describe what you want to create and Arkain Snap will handle the rest, or ask questions about containers, credits, templates, and platform usage to get instant guidance.


Key Features

Side Chat Controls

  • The Side Chat can be opened or closed from the left sidebar.

  • The Side Chat is available and usable across all Dashboard pages, including the Credit usage page and Templates page.

Smart Response Detection

  • The Side Chat automatically detects the intent of your input and responds accordingly.

  • If your request is about building or creating an app, the Side Chat will prepare a project plan and display the [Generate with Arkain Snap] button to proceed.

  • For all other requests — such as questions about containers, credits, or platform usage — the Side Chat responds directly with guidance and information.

  • Connect external tools such as Notion to give the AI more context when creating apps.

  • Once connected, the AI can reference your actual project docs to generate containers and apps.

  • For a detailed guide, please refer to the Connect Notion to Arkain page.

  • Selecting a Quick Prompt opens a curated list of recommended prompts.

  • Choosing a prompt automatically fills the input field, allowing immediate submission or further editing.

Smart Redirects & UI Highlighting

  • Responses from the Side Chat may guide you to relevant Dashboard pages, such as Container Settings page or credit usage page.

  • Important UI elements are visually highlighted to help you quickly understand the context and identify key information.

Chat Management

  • Clicking the button in the top-left corner resets the chat and starts a new conversation.

  • While a response is being generated, clicking the stop button immediately cancels the in-progress generation.

  • Chat history is not persisted and will be cleared if you refresh the browser or click the clear button.
