[**Set up the chat UI**](/docs/aperture/how-to/set-up-chat-ui) — Enable Aperture's chat UI so your users can talk to LLMs directly through their browser.

[**Chat sandbox**](/docs/aperture/chat-sandbox) — Run code, analyze data, and create downloadable files in an isolated Linux environment during a chat conversation.
