Sdcb Chats is a powerful, flexible LLM front-end and AI gateway written in C# and TypeScript — self-hosted, your data stays yours.
Chats 2.0
2.0 is about agents: a persistent place for the AI to work, a way to publish what it builds, and collaboration that feels like working with a reliable colleague.
Containers outlive a single chat — the environment you set up last time is still there next time.
Tell the AI “make it public on this subdomain” — and it’s live.
It asks when things are unclear, and you can chime in mid-run.
Upload an image once; later turns reference the provider’s file ID.
Reload the page and the AI is still visibly at work — and still stoppable.
Watching: subagents. Interesting, but speed and control come first — not part of 2.0.
Directions, not commitments — scope and timing may change.
