Definition

WebSocket is a communication protocol that enables real-time, bidirectional communication between AI applications and users, essential for interactive AI experiences.

How It Works

WebSocket establishes a persistent connection between client and server, allowing instant message exchange without HTTP overhead. It supports text and binary data transmission.

The protocol handles connection management, heartbeats, and automatic reconnection for reliable real-time communication.

Why It Matters

WebSocket powers real-time AI chat interfaces, collaborative AI tools, and streaming model outputs. It reduces latency from seconds to milliseconds for interactive applications.

Most modern AI chat applications use WebSocket for responsive, conversational experiences.
