Your AI agent belongs in the chat you already built. CometChat's iOS UI Kit lets you turn your existing messaging experience into an AI conversation with streaming responses, chat history, and a fully customizable UI built in. Connect your agent, match your brand, and ship without building AI chat from scratch.
Every time someone tells us they're adding an AI agent to their iOS app, the same thing happens. They think the hard part is the AI. It's not. The hard part is that building a decent chat UI eats weeks you didn't budget for. Message bubbles, streaming, history screens; none of it is hard, it's just a slog, and it's the slog nobody warns you about.
So we stopped watching people rebuild the same thing and put it in our iOS UI Kit.
You get the actual chat experience out of the box: streaming responses, suggested prompts, and conversation history so people can pick up an old chat instead of starting from zero every time. Wire up your agent, restyle it to match your app, ship.
It's 1:1 AI conversations today. Agents in group chat is what we're building next and if that's something you'd actually use, tell me, because we're deciding how far to push it right now.
If you kick the tires, I want to hear where it annoyed you as much as where it worked. We'll be in the comments all day.
the UI Kit part makes sense as the thing nobody wants to rebuild, but I'm curious about the layer above it: once the agent's wired in, who's watching the token spend? a chat UI invites people to just keep talking, and unlike a fixed feature, an LLM conversation doesn't have a natural stopping point. is there a built-in per-user rate limit or cost cap on the agent side, or is that something the app builder has to bolt on themselves once real usage shows up?
The part that ate our time wasn't the bubbles, it was what happens when the stream dies halfway. iOS backgrounds the app, the socket drops, and you're left with half an assistant message that the server thinks it finished sending. We moved to persisting server side and treating the client as a replay of a message id, which killed the duplicates but made resume feel slower. Where does the UI Kit keep the partial, and on reconnect does it resume the same message or start it over?
Dropping an agent into the messaging stack teams already shipped, instead of standing up a separate bot surface, is the right call — migration cost is usually what kills these integrations. One concrete thing: does the agent run through my existing CometChat conversations so it inherits the auth, moderation, and message history I already have, or is it a parallel agent service I wire up separately? And is the agent layer iOS-UI-Kit-only right now, or the same config across web and Android?
A native Slack and Teams importer would be a huge win for anyone migrating from those platforms. Right now the switch feels heavier than it should, and losing years of chat history is a real blocker for teams considering CometChat as a replacement.
Embedding agents directly into chat UI makes the interaction feel more natural than switching between tools. How customizable is the agent behavior from the developer side?
The platform looks solid for bringing chat, voice, and video under one roof. One thing I'd love to see is a built-in branching or threaded transcript view for voice and video sessions, so it's easier to jump back to a specific moment or quote during a follow-up. Right now most tools flatten that history, and it can be a real headache for support or sales teams reviewing calls later.
Most platforms in this space want you to use their AI layer exclusively so letting teams plug in their own agent logic without rewiring everything around new infra is a much friendlier
especially when i do have my own workflow
great work team
The iOS UI Kit angle feels very practical. Streaming responses and conversation history are exactly the parts that make an AI chat feel like a real product instead of a demo screen.
For group support, I’d be curious how you’re thinking about agent handoff and context. Would multiple users be able to share one AI thread with the same history, or is the first version more about adding AI into existing group chats?
