Ask a Simple Question

Ask one clear question in Chat and get an answer that is easy to check and use.

For the product controls used here, see Chat, Controls, and Agents in the Platform documentation.

Before You Start​

  • Decide what one result you need from the answer.
  • Know whether the question needs a prepared agent or can use your default agent.
  • Start a new chat when an earlier conversation contains unrelated customers, sources, or instructions.

Follow The Steps​

  1. Open Chat And Choose An Agent

    Open Chat, start a new conversation, and select the agent that matches your question. Use your default agent for a general question.

  2. Ask One Clear Question

    Write what you want to know, who the answer is for, and how the result should be formatted. Add only the context needed for this question, then press Enter to send it.

  3. Review The Answer

    Confirm that the response answered the question, followed the requested format, and clearly marked anything uncertain. Ask a focused follow-up if one point needs clarification.

Try It​

Explain the difference between a goal and a task in three short bullets
for a new teammate.

Check The Result​

The answer should contain three concise bullets for a new teammate, distinguish the two terms, and avoid unnecessary assumptions.

If It Does Not Work​

The most common problem is a broad question without an audience or output format. Add those two details and try again. Next, learn how to speak your request in Dictate Instead of Typing.
