DevExpress Blazor AI Chat

DxAIChat is an AI-powered conversational UI component compatible with major cloud AI providers (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI) and self-hosted models (Ollama). It runs in Blazor, .NET MAUI, WPF, and WinForms applications. The component operates on a BYOK (bring your own key) model — you supply the AI provider credentials; DevExpress does not bundle any LLM.

Security: Never hardcode AI provider keys, endpoints, or credentials in source code. Use environment variables, user secrets, or a secrets vault.
