What is the AI Chatbot Interface Template?
A minimal AI assistant interface template designed for teams creating clean, practical chatbot experiences. The template helps users prototype a simple AI help flow with a question prompt, suggestion cards, message composer, assistant replies, troubleshooting steps, tool options, feedback controls, history, and theme switching.
