MS Teams Tab sending chats?

I noticed some tabs have a chat tab that corresponds to a chat in the messages tab on the teams client. I'm wondering how you can do that all in one because the docs seem to specify messaging capabilities is a chatbot feature. I'm looking at this and it isn't clear that my tabs app can send messages as well.

      @SadPython -

      If your application has other capabilities such as bot and messaging extension along with Tab capabilities, then when you install that application in Microsoft Teams you will get a chat tab by default via which you can have conversation with bot.
      This is by design behaviour.

      Thanks,

        If I want to add this functionality to my tab do I need to create an entirely separate bot then?
