Accessing the Playground
What is the Playground?
Section titled “What is the Playground?”The Playground is Prodgy’s integrated chat environment. It allows you to interact with AI agents configured in your product, sending messages and receiving responses in real time.
It works as a direct communication channel between you and the agents, without the need for external integrations.
How to Access
Section titled “How to Access”To access the Playground:
- Click the Playground item in the left side menu (play icon)
- The chat screen will be displayed with the message area and input field
Main Screen
Section titled “Main Screen”The Playground interface consists of:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Header | Displays the conversation title, active users counter, and action buttons |
| Message area | Shows the message history of the current conversation |
| Input field | Area to type and send messages to the agent |
| Sidebar | Conversation history (accessible via the menu button) |
| Provider · Model footer | Subtle badge at the bottom of the page indicating the AI provider and the model currently in use |
Provider and Model in the Footer
Section titled “Provider and Model in the Footer”On the Playground welcome screen (before sending the first message) and just below the message box once a conversation is active, Prodgy shows a badge with the default AI provider followed by the model being used — for example: Azure OpenAI · gpt-4o.
This footer makes the agent’s current configuration explicit and updates automatically when the administrator switches the default provider or model in the Admin Panel.
Sending Messages
Section titled “Sending Messages”To chat with the agent:
- Type your message in the input field at the bottom of the screen
- Press Enter or click the send button

Message Actions
Section titled “Message Actions”Each agent message has an action menu with the following options:

Responses are transmitted in real time via streaming (SSE), allowing you to follow the text generation as it is produced.
