Keep the thread going

A chat keeps its context, so following up is faster than starting over. You can dig deeper, change direction, or polish an answer without re-explaining what you already covered — Chief remembers the earlier messages in the thread.

​
Ask a follow-up

Chief: following up — type a follow-up in the prompt bar
  1. With an answer on screen, click into the prompt bar at the bottom.
  2. Type your next message — a refinement (“make it shorter”), a pivot (“now compare these to last year”), or a new angle (“what are the risks?”).
  3. Press Enter to send. Chief answers in the same thread, building on everything above.

​
Use the suggested follow-ups

Under an answer, Chief offers a Continue the conversation section with suggested next questions. To use one:
  1. Find the Continue the conversation list below the answer.
  2. Click a suggestion. By default it drops into the prompt bar so you can edit it before sending — it is not sent automatically.
  3. Adjust the wording if you want, then press Enter to send.
ℹ️ Good to Know: Some suggestions open a new chat thread instead of continuing the current one. When that happens you will see the hint “Clicking an option below will start a new chat thread” — handy when the suggestion takes the conversation in a fresh direction.

​
Refine an answer in place

Chief: following up — refine an answer with a short instruction
If an answer is close but not quite right, say what to change rather than re-asking the whole question: “focus on the second option,” “rewrite for a non-technical reader,” or “add the numbers in a table.” Because the thread carries context, these short instructions act on the answer you already have.

FAQ

Start a new chat when you switch to an unrelated topic. Carrying an old, unrelated thread forward can pull in context you do not want. Keep following up while you are still on the same subject.
No — suggestions load into the prompt bar so you can edit them first. Review the text and press Enter to send. If a suggestion instead opened a new chat, that follow-up was designed to branch into its own thread.
Within a single chat thread, yes — Chief uses the earlier messages as context. It does not carry context between separate chats, so related work is best kept in one thread.
