AI Chat textarea with rich toolbar actions

For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: A prompt box whose bottom toolbar holds add, voice and web search tools, a model menu and a send arrow

When to use

Text fields with a leading icon, prefix or suffix text, a unit or a status mark inside one border
Search, link and API bars that end in a copy, clear, filter, menu or send control
Prompt and comment composers: a text area with a toolbar row above or below the text

When not to use

A composer with mention, file count and tab count chips above the text: use the Input Group AI Chat Attachments example
Selects, fields and actions joined edge to edge, each keeping its own border: use the Button Group component
A plain text field with no icon, text or action inside its border: use the Input component
A complete assistant screen with a message thread above the prompt box: use the AI Chat blocks

Agent notes

model only relabels the menu trigger, and the plus, mic, Search and send buttons have no handlers; wire each to your chat client
The plus, mic and send InputGroupButton elements are icon only with no accessible names; label each
The border turns red from aria-invalid on the control; data-invalid on Field only tints text, so set both as c-input-group-3 does
Addon icons and text never name the control; tie a FieldLabel to the input or textarea id as c-input-group-20 does, or give it an aria label
InputGroupButton defaults type to button, so pass submit when it should send the surrounding form
