Artifacts - Generative UI

• Generative UI: Create React components, HTML code, and Mermaid diagrams
• Flexible Integration: Use any model you have set up
• Iterative Design: Rapidly improve and refine generated outputs
• Agent Integration: Configure artifacts at the agent level (recommended approach)

Note: The preferred way to use artifacts is now through the Agents feature, which allows for more granular control by enabling/disabling artifacts at the agent level rather than app-wide.

Key Features of LibreChat's Code Artifacts:

• Instant prototyping of websites and UIs with generative AI
• Effortless creation of dynamic, responsive layouts
• Interactive learning environment for React and HTML
• Complex idea visualization using Mermaid diagrams
• AI-powered intuitive, user-centric design iterations
• Free and open-source alternative to paid AI tools

Experience the future of UI/UX design and development with LibreChat's generative capabilities. Bring your ideas to life faster than ever before!

Content-Security-Policy

You may need to update your web server's Content-Security-Policy to include frame-src 'self' https://*.codesandbox.io in order to load generated HTML apps in the Artifacts panel. This is a dependency of the sandpack library.

Self-Hosting the Sandpack Bundler

Artifacts in LibreChat use CodeSandbox's Sandpack library to securely render HTML/JS code. By default, LibreChat connects to CodeSandbox's public CDN, which may also transmit telemetry for its usage.

For enhanced privacy, security compliance, or isolated network environments, you can self-host the bundler.

Why Self-Host the Sandpack Bundler?

Self-hosting the bundler provides several advantages:

• Privacy & Security: Keep code execution within your own infrastructure
• Reliability: Remove dependency on external services
• Performance: Reduce latency by hosting the bundler in your network
• Compliance: Meet organizational data handling requirements
• Control: Configure and customize to your specific needs

Configuration

Once you have a self-hosted bundler set up, simply configure LibreChat to use it by setting the environment variable:

# `.env` file
SANDPACK_BUNDLER_URL=http://your-bundler-url

General Considerations

Self-hosting the bundler introduces some additional overhead:

• CORS Configuration: You'll need to manage cross-origin resource sharing policies
• Security Management: You become responsible for the security of the bundler service
• Maintenance: Updates and patches will need to be applied manually
• Resource Requirements: Additional server resources will be needed to host the bundler

For detailed instructions on setting up and maintaining your self-hosted bundler, refer to the forked CodeSandbox repository tailored for LibreChat deployment, including the removal of telemetry from Sandpack.
