## Choose one interaction

The Short demonstrates charts, maps and a controllable 3D plane inside chat. It is an introduction to the open-source project, not a full installation tutorial.

1. Open the exact OpenIntelligentUI repository linked with the video.
2. Choose one example matching a real app task, such as exploring a chart or location.
3. Read the repository’s setup and model requirements before running that example.

## Define the result and test it

An interactive answer needs controls that work and data a visitor can understand.

1. Write the question, data source and useful interaction before extending the example.
2. Test the controls and check the values against the source.
3. Check keyboard use and whether a plain explanation remains understandable when an interaction is unavailable.
4. Account for separate API billing when assessing the running cost.

## The takeaway

The source code is open; model usage is a separate cost. Use the repository for implementation details that this Short does not demonstrate.
