The pitch -Wirechat

A Chat UI takes a day.
Building A real messaging platform takes months

This is where Wirechat comes in!.

Start with direct messages and add group conversations whenever your product needs teams, communities, customers, or member spaces.

Built-in encryption, realtime messaging, attachments, permissions, and extensible configuration help you ship features that would otherwise take weeks or months to build yourself.

Use Wirechat as a full messaging page, embed it anywhere in your application, or keep it available from a floating tray that follows users throughout your app.

Use cases

Wirechat is strongest when conversation belongs to the product experience: marketplaces, support, communities, teams, service workflows, embedded pages, persistent trays, and records that need their own thread.

C2C and marketplace conversations

Let buyers ask sellers about a listing, project, service, or order before checkout, with the thread tied to the thing they are discussing.

Private one-to-one messaging

Give users, customers, providers, or members a direct conversation channel with access rules from your Laravel app.

Group collaboration

Create shared rooms for teams, customer groups, communities, or project work, with roles, permissions, invite links, and join requests.

Contextual conversations

Attach chat to a listing, ticket, order, project, course, booking, or any model so messages stay in the right workflow.

Dedicated chat pages

Give users a full messages area when chat is a primary destination, with the conversation list and active room in one place.

Embedded product chat

Place full chat inside your own pages to fit your brand and platform layout.

Persistent tray chat

Let users pull chat up, collapse it, and keep the conversation available while they move between pages.

Support and service threads

Keep support conversations inside your product, next to the customer, account, ticket, or service request that needs attention.

Safer first contact

Use message requests, user settings, permissions, and moderation tools when unknown users need a controlled way to start talking.

The pieces behind those workflows.

Once the conversation model is clear, turn on the Wirechat pieces your application needs and link straight into the docs for each capability.

Private Chats One-to-one conversations with user-level access rules. Group Chats Multi-user rooms with roles, permissions, and moderation. Invite Links & Join Requests Share group access and approve new members when needed. Message Requests Approval-first private messages from unknown senders. Attachments Files, images, and videos inside conversations. Content Viewer Browse shared media, documents, and links from the chat. Conversation Contexts Attach chats to listings, tickets, orders, or any model. Chat Search Find conversations and configure user lookup. Emoji Picker Add floating or docked emoji selection. Settings User-owned notification and group privacy controls. Theme Configuration Match Wirechat colors to your product brand. Conversation Tabs Split the chat list into focused views. Standalone Widget Embed the full chat surface in your own page. Tray Widget Keep chat available from a floating entry point. URL Parsing Turn recognized message URLs into links. Realtime Broadcasting Deliver live updates through Laravel broadcasting. Encryption Optionally encrypt stored message bodies. Panels Configure routes, middleware, actions, layout, and theme in one place.

Start with a panel, then shape the chat around your app.

Wirechat panels give you a working conversation surface first. From there, panel settings decide what the experience can do, where it appears, and how it fits the product you are building.

Pick the surface

Run Wirechat as a full chat page, embed it inside your own page, or keep it available as a collapsible tray that follows users between pages.

Enable the workflow

Choose the pieces your product needs: private chats, groups, contextual conversations, invite links, requests, attachments, notifications, and security controls.

Keep control in Laravel

Panel configuration works with your users, models, policies, routes, and layouts, so each chat surface follows the rules of the product around it.

Panel provider

use Wirechat\Wirechat\Panel;

public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
{
    return $panel
        ->id('messages')
        ->path('messages')
        ->middleware(['web', 'auth'])
        ->chatsSearch()
        ->attachments()
        ->deleteMessageActions(false)
        ->webPushNotifications();
}

Add chat where your Laravel app already has users, policies, and context.

Install the free package, open your first panel, then add Pro features when your product needs richer conversation surfaces.
