FAQPage Schema
How do I build a secure AI chat interface with per-user authentication?

Build secure AI chat interfaces by implementing custom backend integration with per-user isolation. Use httpOnly cookie proxy patterns for secure token handling and ChatKitServer to propagate authentication context seamlessly across frontend and backend.

What is the best way to inject context into AI chat prompts using a custom backend?

Inject context into AI chat prompts by extending the backend via the respond() function. This allows server-side context propagation, ensuring agents receive user-specific data for more accurate, persistent conversations without exposing tokens to the frontend.

How do I securely handle authentication tokens for a React AI chat interface?

Handle authentication tokens securely using httpOnly cookie proxy patterns. By intercepting frontend fetch requests via useChatKit and routing them through a backend proxy, you prevent token exposure to client-side JavaScript.

Can I use ChatKitServer and useChatKit for frontend-backend orchestration in enterprise chat assistants?

Yes, ChatKitServer and useChatKit enable frontend-backend orchestration for enterprise chat assistants. They support secure authentication, persistent conversation history, and MCP patterns for scalable, production-grade deployments.

Do I need a Python backend to use the OpenAI ChatKit React frontend?

A Python backend is required for server-side integration. Install chatkit-sdk and agents using uv add, while the React frontend uses npm install @openai/chatkit-react to connect to the backend proxy securely.
