Docs
Follow Up prompts keep the conversation moving after an AI response by suggesting relevant next steps. They reduce the cognitive load of deciding what to ask next and help users explore a topic more deeply without composing prompts from scratch. Well-chosen follow-ups transform a single Q&A exchange into a productive exploration session.
Variants
- Chip prompts — Compact pill-shaped buttons displayed beneath a response, each containing a ready-to-send follow-up question.
- List prompts — A vertical list of follow-up options with optional descriptions, suited for more complex or detailed suggestions.
- Contextual buttons — Action-oriented buttons that adapt based on the content of the AI's response, such as 'Show code' or 'Explain further'.
Use Cases
- Chat assistants guiding users through multi-turn conversations
- Research tools that help users drill down into topics
- Customer support bots suggesting next troubleshooting steps
- Educational tools that encourage deeper exploration
- Content generation workflows where iterative refinement is common
Best Practices
- Generate follow-ups contextually based on the AI's most recent response, not generic suggestions.
- Limit follow-ups to 3-5 options to prevent decision paralysis.
- Make follow-ups actionable — clicking should immediately send the prompt or pre-fill the input.
- Vary the type of follow-ups: include both deepening questions and broadening ones.
- Place follow-ups where users naturally look after reading a response — directly below the content.
