Chaty

Chaty is the name used by several software projects related to chat interfaces. The most widely cited is a JavaScript/TypeScript‑based toolkit that provides a framework for building chatbots and for embedding chat widgets on websites and applications. It aims to simplify connecting conversational agents to multiple messaging channels and data sources.

The architecture centers on a modular core that handles message routing, state management, and plugin integration. Core components typically include a runtime, a channel adapter layer for different messaging platforms, and a frontend chat widget. This structure allows developers to add or swap channels, authentication methods, and data services without rewriting application logic.

Typical use cases include designing guided conversations, routing user intents to external APIs, and presenting a consistent chat experience across devices. The toolkit usually supports defining conversation flows, managing user context, and adapting the user interface for accessibility and localization. It may also provide testing utilities and command-line tooling to aid development and deployment.

Chaty projects are generally open source and hosted on public repositories, enabling community contributions and issue tracking. As with any community‑led project, guidance, documentation, and update cadence vary between implementations. The name Chaty may also refer to different products in different ecosystems, so readers are advised to check the specific project repository for details.
