Smart Suggestions & Follow-Up Prompts

1 min read

Ex.Brain doesn’t just answer your questions—it helps you ask better ones. Built-in smart suggestions and follow-up prompts guide users through deeper exploration, summarization, task generation, and more.

This page explains how Ex.Brain proactively assists users and builds on conversations.

What Are Smart Suggestions? #

Smart Suggestions are context-aware prompts automatically shown after your first question.

They help you:

  • Dive deeper into topics
  • Clarify a broad question
  • Explore related data without starting over

Examples:

Original Question
Smart Suggestions That Follow

“Summarize our latest training doc”

“What are the main risks mentioned?”“Turn this into a quiz”

“Sales in April”

“How does that compare to March?”“Break down by location”

“What happened in the meeting?”

“Who was speaking most?”“Extract action items”

Follow-Up Prompts #

Ex.Brain remembers your last few turns in a conversation and lets you ask questions like:

  • “What about just NY?”
  • “Add a chart to that”
  • “Email this summary to the manager” (coming soon)

These prompts:

  • Save time
  • Reduce need for repetitive queries
  • Make AI feel more like a collaborative teammate

Where Suggestions Appear #

Smart suggestions appear:

  • Just below your last response
  • In a horizontal chip carousel or list of buttons
  • Only if they’re relevant to your question or role

Customization by Role #

Suggestions can vary depending on:

  • Your Role (e.g., Finance Lead vs. HR Manager)
  • Workspace or department
  • Current context of the question

Example: A marketing user might get "Generate ad copy" after summarizing a launch brief, while a developer might get “Check for code issues.”

Best Practices #

  • Use Smart Suggestions to go deeper—don’t stop at the first answer
  • Use follow-ups to iterate: ask, refine, repeat
  • Encourage new team members to follow suggestions when learning how to use Ex.Brain
