Built-in toolbars
The AI AssistView offers predefined toolbar items, such as copy and edit for prompts and copy, like, and dislike for responses. These toolbars provide quick access to common actions, making interactions more efficient.

Prompt suggestions
The AI AssistView provides options for both initial and on-demand prompt suggestions, helping users start or refine their prompts. Additionally, custom header can be set for suggestions, further enhancing the user experience.


Header toolbar
The Header toolbar enables the addition of custom items to the header area to execute commands such as reload, user settings, and more. It also supports the customization of toolbar items, including icon with text, alignment, and other options.
Footer toolbar
The footer toolbar lets you customize built-in action icons like send, attach, and clear with your own actions to choose between inline or bottom placement for a seamless fit in the layout.

Custom views
Users can create custom views with or without the default assist view. This flexibility enables users to design personalized layouts with templated content to suit specific requirements.

File attachments
Users can now attach files with file upload directly, along with the prompts, making interactions more informative and context-rich. Whether it’s documents, PDFs, or images, these attachments help provide additional background or reference material, enabling more accurate and relevant AI responses.

Templates
Supports templates for customizing the appearance of the banner content, prompts, responses, and more. These templates allows users to create a unique and highly personalized AI AssistView that integrates effortlessly into the applications.
Banner template
Customize the banner content using a banner template to display additional information, such as a welcome note, an introduction to integrated AI services, and more. This banner is positioned at the top of the prompt and response conversation area within the AI AssistView.


Prompt response item template
Using templates for prompt and response items allows you to customize content, such as displaying the date and time of each entry, and adjusting avatar styling, and more. These templates provide more context for each prompt and response.
Footer template
Use the footer template to customize the default footer area and manage prompt request actions with a personalized design. This flexibility allows users to create unique footers that meet their specific needs and enhances the overall experience.

You can find our React AI AssistView demo, which demonstrates how to render and configure the AI AssistView.
What is the purpose of React AI AssistView component in React apps?
The Syncfusion React AI AssistView component provides a modern UI for sending prompts and displaying AI generated responses. It helps integrate generative AI services into React apps through features like toolbars, prompt suggestions, and real time streaming responses.
How do I customize the UI of the React AI AssistView component?
AssistView supports extensive customization, including banner templates, prompt suggestions, header toolbars, placeholder text. You can also style it using Syncfusion themes or custom CSS.
How do I add streaming AI replies in the React AI AssistView control?
Syncfusion React AssistView supports real time streaming responses. You can simulate or implement streaming by repeatedly sending partial responses to the component from your LLM backend as they become available.
How do I secure API keys when using AI AssistView components in React?
API keys should not be included directly in frontend code. Instead, route all LLM requests through a secure backend server or environment protected API endpoint. The component triggers prompt events, and your backend handles authentication and AI requests safely.
How do I bind external data or workflows to the React AI AssistView?
By using promptRequest handlers, you can connect user prompts to external workflow APIs, databases, automation processes, or business logic and return AI or system generated responses back into the UI.
Can I download and utilize the Syncfusion React AI AssistView for free?
No, this is a commercial product and requires a paid license. However, a free community license is also available for companies and individuals whose organizations have less than $1 million USD in annual gross revenue, 5 or fewer developers, and 10 or fewer total employees.
How do I get started with Syncfusion React AI AssistView?
A good place to start would be our comprehensive getting started documentation.
How do I integrate the React AI assistant with an LLM backend?
You can connect AssistView to any generative AI/LLM service (such as OpenAI or Azure OpenAI) by handling the promptRequest event. In this event, send the user prompt to your backend or AI API, then pass the generated response back to the component using addPromptResponse().
How do I handle prompts and responses in the React AI AssistView component?
Use the promptRequest callback to intercept user prompts. You can trigger API calls, run workflows, or generate responses. The React AI AssistView stores all prompts and generated responses in its prompts collection to easily access conversation history.
Is it possible to build a smart assistant component in React using AI AssistView?
Yes. The Syncfusion React AI AssistView is designed exactly for this, providing a structured UI for chat style interactions, handling prompts, integrating AI services, and enabling dynamic responses to build intelligent assistant features.
Does the React AI AssistView component support role based messages?
Yes. You can configure prompts, initial messages, and system like responses using predefined prompt collections or by injecting your own conversation history before rendering. This allows role based or context aware interactions.
How can I optimize performance when using an AI AssistView component in React?
Ensure efficient rendering by using async prompt handling, avoiding unnecessary state updates, using memoized Syncfusion React AI Assist, and streaming responses instead ofrather than large payloads. Syncfusion’s lightweight architecture also helps reduce component overhead.
