      Chat with the Basedash AI agent about your data. Start a chat by sending a
      message, then continue the conversation with follow-up messages. The
      assistant responds asynchronously: pass the `wait` query parameter to
      receive the finished response in the same request, or poll the assistant
      message (or stream its events) after an HTTP 202. Chats created through
      the API are not shown in the Basedash app.
