# Chat

Talk to any AI model directly in your browser — powered by the Based AI Gateway.

Based Chat is a general-purpose AI agent interface built into the Based AI dashboard. Ask questions, write code, analyze data, or deploy a live website to [Based Page](/docs/based-ai/based-page.md) — all from a single conversation.

## Why Based Is Building This

Most AI chat interfaces are walled gardens tied to a single provider. You pay a monthly subscription for one model, and switching means signing up somewhere else.

Based Chat is different:

* **All models, one interface.** Access every model available on the Based AI Gateway — switch freely mid-conversation without leaving the app.
* **Pay per use, not per month.** No subscription. Every message is billed at cost via x402 micro-transactions on Hyperliquid.
* **From chat to commerce.** Chat is the first place most people interact with AI. By embedding it into the Based ecosystem, every conversation can lead to real action — deploying a page, calling an API, or triggering an agent workflow.

The goal is not to compete with ChatGPT on chat UX. The goal is to make AI chat a native part of the Hyperliquid economy — where intelligence flows into deployment, commerce, and execution without friction.

## What You Can Do

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="General AI" %}
Use Chat as a general-purpose AI assistant:

* Ask questions, brainstorm, and research
* Write and review code
* Analyze data and documents
* Summarize, translate, and rewrite content

Select any model from the model picker at the bottom of the chat window. Switch models at any time — your conversation history stays intact.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Deploy to Based Page" %}
Chat can deploy web content directly to a live URL on [Based Page](/docs/based-ai/based-page.md):

* Describe what you want — a landing page, dashboard, portfolio site, or demo
* Chat builds the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
* Deploy to `{slug}.based.page` in a single conversation turn

No build pipeline, no hosting configuration, no git push. Go from idea to live URL without leaving the chat.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Model Selection

Pick the right model for the task. The model selector at the bottom of the chat window shows all available models, including privacy-enabled options.

All models are served through the [Based AI Gateway](/docs/based-ai/ai-inference-gateway.md) — one integration, all providers, pay-per-use pricing.
