# Chat Assistant

The **Chat Assistant** interface is the classic chat interface many of your users will be familiar with. On the right side panel, you will see UI customization options.

Note the **Fields** section. If your project has more than one input or output, you can choose which ones will interface with the user. The user will be able to enter text into only one of the inputs, and see the output of only one of the outputs in your project. Everything else will be hidden.
