For AI Agents
Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Installs with a ReUI Pro or Ultimate license.
Best for: A calendar assistant taking voice notes with a scrubbable Slider transport, answered as a move plan to approve, time slots or a roster
When to use
- A full page assistant chat, new chat welcome screen or 2 model comparison inside an AI product
- A copilot docked beside the page it works on, or opened from a launcher in the page corner
- Answers that show the work behind them: sources read, tool steps, plans to approve and run cost
When not to use
- An assistant beside a document draft that writes its answer into the page: use the Docked Assistant block
- A text only assistant drawer over the page, seeded by prompt suggestion chips: use the Copilot Chat block
- The product layout around the chat: a sidebar of threads, workspaces and account menus: use the App Shell blocks
- A plain overlay chat panel opened from a button, with suggestion chips and a composer: use the Sheet blocks
- A highlighted snippet with a filename header and copy button, outside any conversation: use the Code Block component

Shadcn Voice Assistant Panel Block
Docked voice first assistant panel that answers in a different shape each time. Part of the ReUI Shadcn AI & Agents AI Chat blocks collection.
A floating assistant panel beside any page, driven by voice as readily as typing. Hold the mic and the take lands as a playable turn with a scrubbable transport and its transcription, then the answer arrives in whichever shape the question deserves: a move plan behind an approval gate, a set of times to choose between, a roster of who is free, a figure summary, a callout that carries its own next action, a trace of the steps taken, or prose with the documents it quoted. Also carries a thread switcher, meeting attachments, citation chips you can turn off, and a widen toggle.
It is composed from Alert, Attachment, Avatar, Badge, Bubble, Button, Dropdown Menu, Empty, and more, so every part of it is a primitive you can restyle with your own design tokens.
What You Can Build With the Voice Assistant Panel Block
- Install it with the ReUI registry command in the toolbar above, then swap the placeholder content, data wiring, and business logic for your own.
- Compare it across all eight ReUI styles and both the Base UI and Radix bases in the customizer before committing to one direction.
- Combine it with the other Shadcn AI & Agents AI Chat blocks to assemble a full screen instead of a single section.
