The Chat interface is the heart of the Arivu Dashboard. It transforms natural language into verified SQL, executes it against your connected database, and returns rich, interactive results.

## Response Modes

Every assistant response supports three distinct views, organized in a tabbed card:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Response">
    The LLM's natural language summary of the data, rendered in Markdown. Includes reasoning and contextual explanations.

  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Visualize">
    Interactive, theme-aware charts generated using **Thesys C1 Generative UI**. This tab triggers the visualization API only when you switch to it, saving cost.

  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Data Table">
    A scrollable table showing the raw SQL result rows. Includes a one-click **Export CSV** button for instant file downloads.

## Smart Features

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Follow-Up Suggestions" icon="lightbulb">
    After every response, Arivu generates 3 contextual follow-up questions as clickable bubbles. These are schema-aware and guide you deeper into your data.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Semantic Caching" icon="bolt">
    If you ask the same question twice within 5 minutes, Arivu instantly returns the cached result without re-running the pipeline.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Self-Healing SQL" icon="wand-magic-sparkles">
    If the generated SQL has a syntax error, the `query_verifier` loops back to the `sql_generator` automatically. Up to 3 retries before escalating to the error boundary.
  </Accordion>
