# Overview

> Interact with your analytics agent through natural language

The nao chat interface provides an intuitive way for your team to interact with data using natural language.

## Start Chat

You can access the chat interface in two ways:

### Option 1: Using nao chat command

```bash theme={null}
nao chat
```

This will start a local server at `http://localhost:5005`.

### Option 2: Using Docker

Run the Docker container to access the UI:

**With built-in example:**

```bash theme={null}
docker run -d \
  --name nao \
  -p 5005:5005 \
  -e BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:5005 \
  getnao/nao:latest
```

**With your project:**

```bash theme={null}
docker run -d \
  --name nao \
  -p 5005:5005 \
  -e BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:5005 \
  -v /path/to/your/project:/app/project \
  -e NAO_DEFAULT_PROJECT_PATH=/app/project \
  getnao/nao:latest
