    {
        new { prompt = "What is AI?", response = "<div> AI stands for Artificial Intelligence, enabling machines to mimic human intelligence for tasks such as learning, problem - solving, and decision - making.</ div >", suggestionData = new List<string> { } }
    };

    var promptsJson = JsonSerializer.Serialize(promptsData);
}

<div class="aiassist-container" style="height: 350px; width: 650px;">

    var assistObj;
    var prompts = @Html.Raw(promptsJson);
    function onCreated() {
        assistObj = this;
    }
    function onPromptRequest(args) {
        setTimeout(() => {
            var foundPrompt = prompts.find(prompt => prompt.prompt == args.prompt);
            var defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AIAssistView component to your preferred AI service, such as OpenAI or Azure Cognitive Services. Ensure you obtain the necessary API credentials to authenticate and enable seamless integration.';
            assistObj.addPromptResponse(foundPrompt ? foundPrompt.response : defaultResponse);
        }, 2000);

    <ejs-aiassistview id="aiAssistView" promptSuggestions="@defaultSuggestions" promptRequest="onPromptRequest" created="onCreated"></ejs-aiassistview>
</div>

<script>
    var assistObj;
    function onCreated() {
        assistObj = this;
    }
    function onPromptRequest(args) {
        setTimeout(() => {
            var response1 = "Use clear naming, break code into small functions, avoid repetition, write tests, and follow coding standards.";
            var response2 = "Install useful extensions, set up shortcuts, enable linting, and customize settings for smoother development.";
            var defaultResponse = 'For real-time prompt processing, connect the AIAssistView component to your preferred AI service, such as OpenAI or Azure Cognitive Services. Ensure you obtain the necessary API credentials to authenticate and enable seamless integration.';
            assistObj.addPromptResponse(args.prompt === assistObj.promptSuggestions[0] ? response1 : args.prompt === assistObj.promptSuggestions[1] ? response2 : defaultResponse);
