We are building SnowUI components into interfaces people can use directly in AI conversations. Conversational UI is still in development; this page demonstrates website usage. Supported chat platforms and component versions will be announced after verification. Generating and using SnowUI interfaces inside AI conversations is completely free. It is not a project, uses no project or developer-seat quota, and requires no SnowUI registration, activation, or paid proof.

Package: `@snowui-design-system/components`. Import: `import { Image } from '@snowui-design-system/components';`. Source fingerprint: `1f2975700ea47e8923dbde83ab4a801a42a10ebeda80d8050cb9adac5dad22aa`.

## Usage choices

Use Image to show an image and its public loading and preview behavior. Prefer Avatar for identities, ImageGroup for multiple images, and ImageViewer for focused viewing.

- Provide src and meaningful alt text. Attachments with as="icon" or as="badge" do not replace the image.
- Configure previews with previewMode. ImageGroup can share size and preview policy across images; ImageViewer hosts the full viewer.
