## **Side chat or Ask option**

**Side Chat or Ask** lets you create a focused mini-thread based on a selected portion of the AI’s message.

When you highlight any specific part of the AI response and select Ask, this opens up a separate chat window so you can ask any questions about specific part within the AI response without being saved to the main conversation branch. This allows you to:

* Clarify a particular idea
* Ask follow-up questions
* Explore additional context

All while keeping your primary chat clean and easy to follow.
