Ask
In Ask mode the assistant answers your questions and, when a change would help, proposes it as a grey draft you can accept or reject. It does not change the graph by itself. "Answers and grey suggestions; only what you accept goes in."
How to ask
- Open the Assistant tab and choose Ask under the conversation.
- Write in Ask about the graph and press
Enter(Shift+Enterfor a new line). - Or start from the empty conversation: What can I build with my models?, Explain this graph, What's next?.
How to ask about one thing
The fastest way: right-click it on the canvas and pick a question. The question goes to the assistant with the object attached, and the answer is saved to that object.
| Right-click on | Questions |
|---|---|
| a node | What is this?, Why is it here?, What comes next?, Explain the inputs and outputs |
| an input or output | What connects here?, Where does this go?, What type is this? |
| a link | What flows here?, Why is it connected like this? |
| a group | What is this group for? |
Also: Assistant ▸ Ask about the selection; Explain this in Properties; the question mark next to a field; Ask the assistant in a node or model card; Ask why on a finding of the check; Ask the assistant about this step in a lesson.
A question asked while the assistant is still answering waits its turn.
What comes back
- The answer, with lists, tables and links where useful. Facts from the web carry their link.
- What the assistant looked at: what it read to answer ("read what KSampler does", "searched your models for “sdxl”").
- Grey drafts, when it suggests a change. See Grey drafts.
- The answer saved to the object, with the badge Assistant: "The assistant (the model) wrote this. It may be wrong: the built-in knowledge and the documentation come first." Nothing is saved as general knowledge from Ask mode.
- If you stop it, the answer says "Stopped by you: the answer may be unfinished."
Ask and "Build directly"
Settings ▸ Assistant ▸ When I ask for a change chooses the mode the assistant's box opens in. Suggest first (grey drafts) opens in Ask; Build directly opens in Build, which puts nodes on the graph at once. Ask itself never changes the graph.
In the message field, Up and Down bring back your earlier questions. With no assistant chosen, a question about an object opens the Explain tab with the built-in knowledge instead: see Working without a model.
