# Chat

Built-in conversation storage for chatbots and AI experiences — messages, threads, and state — so you
don't model chat history from scratch.

## Configure

Enable chat and Foundation gives you a place to store conversations, messages, and per-conversation
state. It's built for AI chat: pair it with [Actions](/platform/ai) to power a bot that remembers
context. Access follows your [roles & scopes](/platform/roles).

## Use in your app

Your chat UI reads and writes conversations and messages through your app's data API, and calls your
[Actions](/platform/ai) to generate responses. See the [SDK reference](/api/sdk).
