CrewAI has emerged as a powerful framework for creating collaborative AI teams. Today, I’m excited to introduce CrewAI Chat UI – a sleek, intuitive web interface that makes interacting with your local CrewAI crews simple.

Checkout the project on GitHub.

What is CrewAI Chat UI?

CrewAI Chat UI is a modern web interface that enhances how you interact with your local CrewAI crews. Instead of dealing with command-line interfaces or complex code, you can now chat with your AI teams through a beautiful, responsive chat interface that feels familiar and intuitive.

Key Features

Modern Web Interface

CrewAI Chat UI provides a sleek, responsive design that works beautifully across devices. The interface supports both light and dark modes, ensuring comfortable usage in any environment.

Automatic Crew Discovery

The UI automatically finds and loads your crew from the current directory, eliminating the need for complex configuration. Just navigate to your project folder and launch the UI.

Persistent Chat History

All your conversations are saved locally, allowing you to refer back to previous discussions or continue conversations where you left off.

Multi-Thread Support

Maintain multiple conversations simultaneously with proper message tracking. Each conversation is stored separately, making it easy to manage different projects or tasks.

Cross-Thread Notifications

Get notified when responses arrive in other threads, ensuring you never miss important updates from your AI crew.
