Remarks

IChatResponseProvider defines a backend-agnostic contract that standardizes AI-powered chat response handling in DevExpress Chat controls (DxAIChat, AIChatControl). This interface enables chat components to execute AI conversations without direct dependency on a specific backend (such as IChatClient or AIAgent).

IChatResponseProvider ensures consistent behavior across Blazor, WinForms, and WPF applications and supports both streaming and buffered execution models.
