The purpose of the new Conversational UI (RadChat) control in Telerik UI for WinForms is to make it easier for you to build chatbots and embed them in your applications using the various bot services out there, such as Azure Bot Service, Google’s DialogFlow, Amazon Lex, etc. The component is also applicable if you plan to create peer-to-peer chats.

The obvious thing here is that RadChat can show messages and can take text input from the user and send it to you, the developer. This is the absolute bare minimum for a chat client – text-in and text-out. However, we are now in the age where most chat clients should do so much more than simple text exchanges.
