title: Artifacts - Generative UI
icon: Palette
description: Discover LibreChat's revolutionary Artifacts feature for instant creation of React components, HTML code, and Mermaid diagrams.
---
- **Generative UI:** Create React components, HTML code, and Mermaid diagrams
- **Flexible Integration:** Use any model you have set up
- **Iterative Design:** Rapidly improve and refine generated outputs
- **Agent Integration:** Configure artifacts at the agent level (recommended approach)
> **Note:** The preferred way to use artifacts is now through the [Agents feature](/docs/features/agents#artifacts), which allows for more granular control by enabling/disabling artifacts at the agent level rather than app-wide.

Experience the future of UI/UX design and development with LibreChat's generative capabilities. Bring your ideas to life faster than ever before!
## Content-Security-Policy
You may need to need to update your web server's Content-Security-Policy to include `frame-src 'self' https://*.codesandbox.io` in order to load generated HTML apps in the Artifacts panel. This is a dependency of the [sandpack](https://sandpack.codesandbox.io/) library.
## Self-Hosting the Sandpack Bundler
Artifacts in LibreChat use CodeSandbox's Sandpack library to securely render HTML/JS code. By default, LibreChat connects to CodeSandbox's public CDN, which may also transmit telemetry for its usage.
For enhanced privacy, security compliance, or isolated network environments, you can [self-host the bundler.](https://sandpack.codesandbox.io/docs/guides/hosting-the-bundler)
### Why Self-Host the Sandpack Bundler?
[Self-hosting the bundler](https://sandpack.codesandbox.io/docs/guides/hosting-the-bundler) provides several advantages:
- **Privacy & Security**: Keep code execution within your own infrastructure
- **Reliability**: Remove dependency on external services
- **Performance**: Reduce latency by hosting the bundler in your network
- **Compliance**: Meet organizational data handling requirements
- **Control**: Configure and customize to your specific needs
### Configuration
Once you have a self-hosted bundler set up, simply configure LibreChat to use it by setting the environment variable:
```bash
# `.env` file
SANDPACK_BUNDLER_URL=http://your-bundler-url
```
### General Considerations
Self-hosting the bundler introduces some additional overhead:
- **CORS Configuration**: You'll need to manage cross-origin resource sharing policies
- **Security Management**: You become responsible for the security of the bundler service
- **Maintenance**: Updates and patches will need to be applied manually
- **Resource Requirements**: Additional server resources will be needed to host the bundler
For detailed instructions on setting up and maintaining your self-hosted bundler, refer to the [forked CodeSandbox repository](https://github.com/LibreChat-AI/codesandbox-client) tailored for LibreChat deployment, including the removal of telemetry from Sandpack.
