Chat UI Spike

Unify, a sales platform, was adding an AI assistant to its product. This spike makes the assistant's chat a companion to the rest of the app: it follows you between views and knows what you're looking at.

Summary

Unify, a platform sales teams use to find and contact prospects, was adding an AI assistant people talk to in chat. The idea worth the review: chat shouldn't sit in a vacuum. This spike, pushed to a live preview so the team could judge it by using it, turns chat into a companion to the rest of the product.

  • Context-aware. Docked beside the people list, chat adapts to the current view ("ask me about people"), and opening a specific person offers to start the conversation about them.
  • Comes with you. The panel is movable, and its conversation stays with you as you move between pages.
  • Less clutter. A quieter file button, a real send button, example prompts in the empty state, threads and new chat in a dropdown, and share moved into the context actions.
