Asking questions

The composer is where a question becomes a search: choose a mode, point at files, or start from a question your documents can answer.

The composer

Enter sends; Shift+Enter adds a line. Up to 30,000 characters.
Type @ to mention an indexed document. The question is split into clauses, and each clause is searched in its file.
Without @, naming a file in the question narrows the search to it, but sharing an ordinary word with a file name no longer does.
Type / at the start of a line for quick commands.
While an answer streams, the send button becomes Stop; what was already written is kept.

Quick commands

Command	What it does
/summary	Source-backed summary of the selected documents
/compare	Compare the selected documents, citing similarities and differences
/translate	Translate text into the interface language
/outline	Outline the key points with sources
/strict	Switch to Documents only
/hybrid	Switch to Documents and model
/free	Switch to Open conversation
/documents	Open the Documents panel
/help	Show the app tour

Starting points

An empty conversation with documents suggests three questions written from those documents.
Three starter cards: Find the essentials, Look a little closer, Unpack an idea.
Hybrid is the default mode; you can change the default for new conversations in Settings.

While it works

The real processing stages appear in order: Understanding the question and conversation, Finding relevant evidence in documents, and Writing the final answer. Then the answer streams in word by word. Every prompt names the answer language, detected from your question, so English questions get English answers in Hybrid and Open conversation too.
