Chat Inline Export Actions

Chat Inline Export Actions

Overview

Version: 0.241.106

Implemented in version: 0.241.106

Chat assistant replies can now surface inline export buttons directly inside the message bubble when the latest user prompt explicitly asks for a supported output format. The quick actions reuse the existing per-message export flows, so Word, PowerPoint, Markdown, and email drafts are still only generated when the user clicks the button.

Dependencies:

  • application/single_app/static/js/chat/chat-messages.js
  • application/single_app/static/js/chat/chat-message-export.js
  • ui_tests/test_chat_inline_export_action_buttons.py

Technical Specifications

Architecture Overview

  • The chat renderer inspects the latest user message already present in the chat DOM when a new assistant message is appended.
  • Inline action buttons are shown only for fresh assistant replies and only when the prompt contains a supported export intent such as presentation, Word, Markdown, or email.
  • Generic presentation requests surface both Word and PowerPoint shortcuts, while explicit Markdown and email requests show their matching buttons.
  • Button clicks reuse the existing shared per-message export handlers instead of adding a second export implementation path.

File Structure

  • application/single_app/static/js/chat/chat-messages.js
  • application/single_app/static/js/chat/chat-message-export.js
  • ui_tests/test_chat_inline_export_action_buttons.py

Usage Instructions

  1. Ask the assistant to create a supported artifact such as a presentation, Word document, Markdown document, or email.
  2. Wait for the assistant reply to appear.
  3. Click the inline action inside that reply to trigger the existing export or email workflow.

Testing And Validation

Test coverage:

  • ui_tests/test_chat_inline_export_action_buttons.py

Known limitations:

  • The quick actions rely on keyword intent detection from the latest visible user message, so very indirect phrasing may continue to fall back to the existing three-dots menu.
  • Inline buttons are intentionally limited to new assistant replies so older messages do not change retroactively when the page reloads.
