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
