# Start End User Chat Turn

Sends a message to the AI chat; the answer streams on the caller's channel.

The AI module manages your project's LLM and MCP integrations — connecting language-model providers and Model Context Protocol servers so agents can work with your backend. Starts the end user chat turn.

This method is on the runtime **API** surface (`norbix.api.ai`) — call it from your app.

{% hint style="info" %}
These examples assume the SDK is installed and your credentials are set as environment variables — each client reads them automatically, so the constructors below take no arguments. See [Install a Norbix SDK](/codemash/sdks/install.md).
