Interesting how they claim to be "framework-agnostic" but only support React and don't really integrate with any backend framework. I've been building something that helps create proper framework-agnostic libraries[0], I even use AI chat as an example.

Maybe you could use your software to help them support other frameworks

They don't only support React. There are examples in their guide for how to do all theming with vanilla JS. And you can use any backend you want.

It supports vanilla Js, so that covers all frameworks. I see your pain, I built predictabledialogs.com and didn't expect OpenAI to do a no code builder and a chat widget. eeks I was hoping they will aim for AGI while we do the boring work.
