# Widgets

> Embed Bigdata research and document experiences in your own sites and applications.

**Widgets** are drop-in browser bundles you host on a page alongside your own backend. They keep API credentials on **your** server while visitors interact with Bigdata capabilities in the UI.

## What’s in this section

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Chat Widget" icon="message" horizontal="True" href="/widgets/chatbox-widget">
    Add the research chat UI with a script tag, a proxy for your API key, and optional theming.

This is how you can reference playgrounds as done in other parts of the documentation (we will probably want to update icons):

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Search Service Playground" icon="magnifying-glass" href="https://platform.bigdata.com/search/search-documents" horizontal>
    Search across your private content and other sources. In the playground, open the source selector and choose **My Files** to limit results to your uploaded documents.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Research Agent Playground" icon="robot" href="https://platform.bigdata.com/research-agent" horizontal>
    Run research over your private content and real-time data. In the playground, use the source selector and filter by **My Files** to ground answers in your documents.
