Asking questions and reading citations

Write a question and press Enter to send it; Shift+Enter starts a new line. The + menu holds the composer's settings. They are remembered for the chat you are in, and for its project, so a chat opens the way you left it and a new chat in the project starts the same way. The heading says where: THIS CHAT, THIS PROJECT, or THIS QUESTION when no project is open.

• Web search: also search the web. It stays on until you turn it off, and is absent where a workspace cannot search the web.
• Mode: AUTO, INSTANT or THINKING. Thinking takes more steps and more time on a harder question.
• Context, when the chosen model offers a choice.

The chosen model is remembered with them. A setting that no longer applies, such as a model the workspace stopped offering, goes back to the default.

With a deck, sheet or note open, sending its brief again builds it again in place, with the model you have chosen, and so does /slide, /sheet or /note with your new words. The previous version is one Undo away. Rerun under a turn that made one does the same.

Three AI roles each have a switch on top of the composer that stays as you leave it: the AI Researcher on the Note tab researches a new note, the AI Analyst on the Sheet tab reads a sheet from figures computed over every row, and the AI Designer on the Slide tab designs a new deck as it is built. Chat and Home show all three. Ask there for a note, a sheet or a deck, with /note, /sheet, /slide or in words, and the matching role is marked as you type and makes it. An ordinary question is answered with the composer's own settings, whatever the switches say. Settings → Preferences has the same three switches.

When a workspace offers more than one model, the composer's model button opens a picker; otherwise it shows the model's name. Type / for commands, or @ to point the question at a document, note or sheet.

A claim taken from a source carries a numbered marker such as [1]. Hover it to read the passage; the numbered References under the answer list every source.

Click a citation to open the source viewer over the conversation. It shows the document's text with the cited passage marked, steps between matches, and offers COPY CITATION. A web source shows the page as it was read, with the sentences the answer used marked, the date it was read, and a link to open the page.

A web reference has a KEEP button: it saves the whole page into the open project.

Under an answer, a label says what it rests on: “From your documents”, “From web search”, or both. An answer with no label was written from general knowledge, because nothing in your documents or on the web covered it.

“What this answer did not cover” suggests follow-up questions. Each chat keeps its history; New chat starts another in the same project.
