Chat Artifacts

Updated May 25, 2026

Chat artifacts is a user experience pattern that displays AI-generated content like code, documents, diagrams, or structured data in a dedicated side panel or separate view. This interface design approach keeps the main conversation thread clean and focused while providing a rich, interactive workspace for generated content. The pattern improves usability by allowing users to interact with AI outputs directly, editing code, viewing visualizations, or working with documents, without cluttering the chat interface. This design pattern is especially effective for AI tools that generate complex, multi-format content requiring user interaction and refinement.

Use Case

Perfect for AI coding assistants, document generation tools, and design applications where generated content needs dedicated space for viewing and editing.
