<Accordion title="AI Integration Quick Reference">
  Choose your path:

  * **Send Messages** → [Send Message](/sdk/javascript/send-message) - Text, media, custom
  * **Receive Messages** → [Receive Message](/sdk/javascript/receive-message) - Real-time listeners
  * **Edit/Delete** → [Edit](/sdk/javascript/edit-message) | [Delete](/sdk/javascript/delete-message)
  * **Advanced** → [Threads](/sdk/javascript/threaded-messages) | [Reactions](/sdk/javascript/reactions) | [Mentions](/sdk/javascript/mentions)
</Accordion>

Messaging is one of the core features of CometChat. We've thoughtfully created methods to help you send, receive and fetch message history.

At the minimum, you must add code for [sending messages](/sdk/javascript/send-message) and [receiving messages](/sdk/javascript/receive-message).

Once you've implemented that, you can proceed to more advanced features like [typing indicators](/sdk/javascript/typing-indicators) and [delivery & read receipts](/sdk/javascript/delivery-read-receipts).
