# Send Message

> Send a message to the AI chat assistant

# POST /chat/message

Send a user message to the Bubba AI assistant and receive a response. This is the primary endpoint for interactive chat within the platform.

## Notes

* Requires a write session (workspace write access).
* The `message` field is required and must be non-empty.
* Pass `conversation_id` to continue an existing conversation, or omit it to start a new one.
* The optional `provider` field selects an AI model provider; defaults to the platform default when omitted.
* Set `low_stakes: true` for lighter-weight responses where lower latency is preferred over depth.
* Supports an `X-Idempotency-Key` header to prevent duplicate message processing on retries.
* This endpoint proxies through DalyAPI to the Bubba chat service.
* Response is wrapped in `{ "result": "success", "data": ... }` where `data` contains the assistant's reply and conversation metadata.
* Returns `503` if the chat service is not configured or unavailable.
