What it does

Highlight any passage in an answer and Chief offers a menu of things to do with exactly that text — copy it, task about it, cite its sources, fact-check it, explain it more simply, rewrite it, translate it, and more. It turns a single sentence into the starting point for your next move.
Chief: text selection menu — the Do more with this text menu

​
Open the menu

  1. In any answer, highlight the text you want to work with by dragging across it.
  2. The Do more with this text menu pops up next to your selection.
  3. Click an action. The menu closes and Chief runs it on the highlighted text.

​
The everyday actions

Chief: text selection menu — the everyday actions Share Copy Task
These appear for everyone:
  • Share — copies a link that scrolls straight to this passage.
  • Copy — copies the selected text to your clipboard.
  • Task — drops the passage into the prompt bar as a quote so you can ask about it.

​
The deeper actions

Chief: text selection menu — the deeper actions
Below those, a second set of actions lets you put the text to work:
  • Cite Sources — asks Chief to show exactly where the text came from.
  • Fact Check — runs the built-in Fact Check Skill on the passage. If you disabled that Skill on the Skills page, the action still runs but does not invoke the Skill.
  • Explain — a submenu to explain it simply (like you’re five, in middle school, in high school) or “why does this matter?”
  • Rewrite — a submenu for brevity, an executive audience, more or less technical, or even a chosen personality type.
  • Analyze — a submenu for feelings, unmet needs, what’s under the surface, and more.
  • Find similar — searches your Library and the web for related content.
  • Translate — a submenu to translate the passage into any supported language.
A few power actions — Improve, + Add (save to your Project Library), Deeper, Search, and Visualize — appear when you are in Advanced Mode.
Pro-Tip: The same menu works on a whole answer. Hover an answer and click the bolt icon to open Do more with this answer without highlighting anything.

​
FAQ

Improve, + Add, Deeper, Search, and Visualize require Advanced Mode. Switch to Advanced from your user menu — the menu even shows a “Switch to Advanced mode” prompt — and the greyed-out actions become available.
In a public or shared task, most actions are disabled unless you are a member of that Project. The menu explains this on hover — for example “You must be a member of this Project to start a task with this text.” Open the task from a Project you belong to.
Make sure you are highlighting text inside a completed answer; selections elsewhere won’t trigger it. Try selecting again — the menu appears right after you finish dragging across the passage.
