Chat & AI
Answering a quick-reply prompt
When the AI needs one more detail, it offers buttons for the likely answers instead of making you type.
Step 1
When they appear
If your request is missing something the AI needs, such as a budget or an audience, it may ask one short question with a row of rounded chips underneath for the most likely answers.
What's your budget?
Step 2
Press the one that fits
Pressing a chip sends its text as your next message, exactly as if you had typed it. The chip you picked goes dark.
What's your budget?
Step 3
It shows as your message
Your answer appears in the chat like any message you sent, and the AI carries on from there.
Step 4
While a reply is still being written
If the AI is still writing when you press a chip, your answer joins the queue and goes out when the reply finishes.
Step 5
Or type your own
The chips are a shortcut, not a rule. If none fits, ignore them and type your answer in the box as usual.
Press Enter to send, Shift+Enter for new line
Step 6
One pick per question
After you press one, the others fade and can no longer be pressed. To answer differently, just say so in your next message.
What's your budget?
Try it in Secretary, or create an account to get started.
