OpenChamber

Preview & Dev Servers

When you start a dev server, OpenChamber can open it right inside the app instead of a separate browser tab — so you can see your site next to the chat, capture its console, and point at elements to ask about them.

Open a preview

OpenChamber watches terminal output for a local address (the Local: line that tools like Vite, Next.js, or Astro print). When it spots one:

  • in the terminal, an Open preview button appears
  • a project action with auto-open turned on opens it for you
  • a local link in a chat message can open it too

The site loads in the side panel. Only local addresses (on your own machine) can be previewed.

Console and inspect

In the preview panel you can:

  • watch the page’s console — errors, warnings, and logs, filtered however you like
  • turn on inspect, click any element, and send a note about it — selector, styles, position, and a screenshot — straight into chat

This is the fastest way to tell the agent “this button, here” without describing it.
