Introducing CometChat's Visual Builder: Go from design to code in minutes

Anant Garg

We are excited to announce the launch of our Visual Builder, a powerful and intuitive tool that makes designing and integrating fully customized communication experiences easier and faster than ever. 

Say goodbye to months of development

Traditionally, building chat into your app could take months—between designing the UI, configuring features, and going through countless iterations. With Visual Builder, we've flipped the script.

You can now create, preview, and fine-tune your chat UI without writing a single line of code. Once you're satisfied, simply download clean, production-ready React code that integrates seamlessly into your application.


A chat UI that feels like your product

Our Visual Builder makes it easy to align the chat interface with your product’s design. Apply your brand colors to messages, buttons, and UI elements, and preview your design across desktop and mobile screens in real-time.

With full control at your fingertips, you can:

  • Select fonts that match your design system

  • Show or hide typing indicators, presence indicators, delivery and read receipts, and more

  • Add or remove voice and video calling features

  • Preview all changes as you make them

Features that fit your users' needs

Visual Builder isn't just about design - it's built to deliver the exact chat experience your users want.

Turn features on or off with a few clicks:

  1. 01.

    Messaging

    Text, emoji reactions, threaded replies, message delivery and read receipts, and more

Built for speed. Designed for scale.

Powered by our UI Kit, the components follow React best practices and are performance-optimized for scale. Whether you're shipping fast or fine-tuning for control, you've got a solid foundation that's both flexible and extensible.

Coming soon: Support for more platforms

We’re starting with full support for React, but we're not stopping there. Visual Builder will soon support:
