# Web chat embed

The web chat embed provides a way to chat directly with an agent in VS Code. An agent can be opened and tested instantly, creating a smooth and continuous workflow during development.

The embedded chat supports real-time conversations with the agent. It offers a quick method to explore agent responses and behavior. You do not need to switch between tools or views because interaction occurs in the editor.

This feature provides an efficient way to preview conversational behavior and continue development in the same workspace. To change your environments, see [VS Code environment switcher](./environment_switcher).
