## What it is
vue-beautiful-chat is a Vue.js component that renders an intercom-like chat window for web applications. It provides only the view layer, is fully customizable, and is backend agnostic, leaving messaging infrastructure to the developer.

## Use cases
- add a live chat widget to a Vue website
- build a customer support chat interface
- embed an intercom-style chat window without a backend
- customize a chat UI with own colors and icons
- show typing indicators and emoji/file support in chat

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made, customizable chat UI in a Vue project
- you already have or plan your own messaging backend
- you want a lightweight frontend-only chat component

## When to avoid
- you need a full chat solution with backend, storage, and delivery
- your project uses React or another non-Vue framework
- you need mobile-native chat components
