Talk looks like v0: chat beside a live preview, tool calls as readable steps, streaming with stop and steer #11009

Owner, 2026-11-10: "i also want to close this [Claude Code] and fully start using Talk… its not a good experience. look at https://vercel.com/templates/ai/v0-clone. this is basically what i want."

Today (/talk, signed in): the newest chat is from 11-02. The thread is a wall of raw mcp__forge__merge {"repo":…,"dryRun":true} JSON lines. There is no preview, and nothing says what happened. P10 shows 0 open, but the experience is not done.

The target is a v0-style builder: chat on the left, the thing being built live on the right, and every turn a version you can go back to.

This slice: the layout and the stream.

• Two panes. Chat on the left; on the right, the live preview of the repo's app (its preview environment, refreshed when a push deploys), with Code and Diff tabs beside it. On a phone, Chat and Preview are two tabs with a sticky composer.
• A sidebar of chats grouped by repo, with search, rename and archive (these exist; keep them).
• Steps, not JSON. Tool calls render as short steps: "Read 4 files", "Edited src/app.ts (+12 −3)", "Opened pull #12", "Merged and deployed: open". Each step collapses, and its details open on a tap. Raw JSON never shows by default.
• Streaming text, with Stop and Steer while it runs. The context meter stays.
• Proof: phone and desktop screenshots of a real build turn in the pull, and the first paint of /talk under 200 ms on the server.
