Persona.js
Lightweight, framework-agnostic AI chat widget and agent UI.
What it does
Renders an embeddable, themeable AI chat widget using Vanilla JS with zero framework dependencies. Supports real-time SSE streaming responses from any custom backend or LLM endpoint. Enables web agents to interact directly with page components and tools via WebMCP standards. Provides built-in UI components for tool call visualization, voice I/O, approval gates, and artifact rendering.
Why it works
Zero framework dependencies allow seamless integration on top of React, Vue, or legacy stacks. Lightweight initial bundle size ensures high performance and fast load times on client websites. WebMCP-native design lets AI agents execute page functions directly with user approval gates. Flexible SSE backend compatibility fits easily into existing custom LLM infrastructures.
