Playground is a split view:
  • Left panel: widget appearance, model, instructions, suggested prompts, embed previews
  • Right panel: live chat preview (toggle Widget vs Standalone app)
For production embed code, use Deploy > Chat widget instead: it has the same settings organized into Content, Style, AI, and Embed tabs, plus copy buttons for the website widget (recommended) and inline panel.

Playground with configuration on the left and the live preview on the right.

Open Playground

Open Playground in the sidebar. The preview uses the same runtime as production, with the same knowledge, actions, and guardrails.

Key controls

Playground test sessions are not listed under Chat logs. Use the Embed tab on Chat widget demo links to verify anonymous embed recording.
