This allowed users to get help with help and common questions about powers, xats/days, information, to report an issue or any other help. Users can also challenge other chatters to online games. Moreover, users can include xat chat easily in their MySpace profiles by adding the xat chat application.

Xat then went on to release flash based widgets which they called web gear. Starting of with an flash version of their xat poll, one of these flash based widgets named chat became a success and this was the beginning of the xat chat.
