Chat Window

Sidekick adds an AI chat window to the Craft control panel for editing Twig files and managing entries, fields, and sections. In the main sidebar navigation of the control panel, click the Sidekick link to open the chat window.

Example of the Chat Window in use

Message Types

The chat window displays different types of messages, each color-coded for clarity:

ColorMessage TypeDescription
BlackUser MessagesYour own inputs.
BlackAssistant MessagesResponses from Sidekick and OpenAI.
BlueSystem MessagesSystem actions performed by Sidekick.
RedError MessagesAlerts when something goes wrong.

Clearing the Conversation

Clicking the "Clear Conversation" button will erase the current conversation and start a fresh chat. This is useful when you want to change the subject, or just feel like you need to start over.

It's an excellent first step when troubleshooting an issue. Sometimes you have to "turn it off and back on again", and this is how it's done in Sidekick.
