About this vibe coding template
Interactive AI command bar template for SaaS apps and developer tools. A keyboard triggered overlay that merges product navigation with AI answers in a single surface. This is one of five embeddable chat widget form factors in the library: compare it against the chat widget for a floating bubble, the copilot panel for a persistent full height rail, the inline help widget for contextual documentation help, and the support sidebar for a collapsible tray. The command bar opens as a centered modal over the existing product when the user presses the keyboard shortcut shown in the footer. A search input at the top of the bar accepts both navigation queries and natural language AI questions. A mode toggle pill in the input row switches the bar between Navigate mode and Ask AI mode. In Navigate mode the bar shows grouped result sections: a navigation section with destinations and their associated keyboard shortcut keys, and an actions section with product commands and their shortcut keys. Items highlight on hover and keyboard navigation. The highlighted item shows its Enter key label. In Ask AI mode, the input accepts a natural language question and the bar shows an AI answer section below with a formatted response body and a blinking cursor. The footer shows keyboard navigation hints: arrow keys to move, Enter to open, the keyboard shortcut to toggle, and Esc to close. The command bar does not answer questions on its own; it is the search, navigation, and answer surface. Connect your own model to the Ask AI mode to make the answers live. Use it as the command bar for any SaaS product or developer tool where power users want keyboard first navigation and in app answers without context switching. Paste it into Claude Code, Replit, Lovable, ChatGPT Codex, Bolt, or Cursor and replace the navigation groups, action items, and keyboard shortcut with your own product structure.
Build an entire AI product with this command bar template
An AI product is mostly one surface repeated in different sizes, so the chat screen carries the visual language of everything around it. Copy the template, paste it into Claude Code, Replit, Lovable, ChatGPT Codex, Bolt, or Cursor, and send this alongside it.

Use the HTML I am pasting below as the design system for my entire AI product. Match its type scale, spacing, colors, border radius, and component styling on every screen you build from here. Reuse its buttons, cards, and layout rhythm, and keep anything new in the same visual language. When I ask for a screen you have not seen yet, infer the design from these patterns and keep it consistent with what is already there. Start with the main chat screen, then wait for me to name the next one.
Common questions about this template
What does this AI command bar template include?
A centered modal with a search input, a mode toggle between Navigate and Ask AI, a navigation section with destinations and keyboard shortcut labels, an actions section with product commands, an AI answer section with a formatted response body and blinking cursor, and a footer with keyboard navigation hints.
Does the command bar answer questions automatically?
No. The command bar is the search, navigation, and answer surface. Connect your own model to the Ask AI mode, pass the user's typed question to your API, and write the response back into the answer section to make the answers live.
How does the mode toggle work?
A pill toggle in the search row switches between Navigate mode and Ask AI mode. In Navigate mode the bar shows grouped navigation results and product actions. In Ask AI mode the bar shows the AI answer section below the input. Replace the mode labels with the terminology your product uses.
How do keyboard shortcuts work in the bar?
Navigation items and action items each have a keyboard shortcut key shown on the right side of the row. The shortcut label becomes visible when the item is highlighted by keyboard navigation. The footer shows the global shortcuts: arrow keys to navigate, Enter to trigger, the keyboard shortcut to open and close the bar, and Esc to dismiss.
How does this form factor compare to the other chat widget templates?
The command bar is keyboard triggered, best for power users who prefer not to use the mouse. The chat widget opens from a floating bubble, best for deliberate chat sessions. The copilot panel is a persistent full height rail, best for always visible AI. The inline help widget embeds in documentation, best for contextual page help. The support sidebar is a collapsible edge tray, best for support conversations.
How do I build an entire AI product with this command bar template?
Use it as the starting point for the entire AI product. Copy this command bar template into your AI coding tool, send the instruction above with it, and every screen it produces afterwards matches the first one.
