> Applies to: Enterprise plans. Where: Agent › a chat

An AI Agent reply shows what the agent did, its answer, and any cards, charts, sources or questions. Hover a message to copy, retry, edit or rate it. Open it from **Agent** in the left navigation (see [Chat with the agent](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/agent/chat/)).

## What an agent reply shows

While the agent works, the reply shows what it is doing, for example "Thinking…", "Building your chart" or the command it is running. When it finishes:

| Part | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| Work summary | "Worked for 12s" (or "Worked for 1m 5s, in the background"). Click it to see each step and the changes made. A group of steps reads, for example, "Ran 3 commands". |
| Answer | The agent's reply in text |
| Cards and charts | Results, plans and changes. See [Results, charts and canvases](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/agent/results-and-canvas/) and [Plans and runs](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/agent/plans-and-runs/). |
| **Sources** | The web pages the answer used, three at a time, then "+2 more" |
| Questions | Options to choose from. **Recommended** marks the agent's pick; **Other…** lets you type your own. With several questions, **Confirm** sends your answers ("Answer every question to continue"). |

In a long conversation, older messages are summarized so the chat can keep going: "12 earlier messages were summarized to keep this conversation going". If a reply was cut off (by a restart, for example), click **Continue**.

### Copy, retry, edit or rate a message

Hover a message for its actions (on a touch screen they show under it).

| Action | On | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Copy | The agent's replies | Copies the reply's text ("Copied") |
| **Try again** | The latest reply | Asks the same question again |
| **Edit and resend** | Your own messages | Takes the chat back to that message and puts its text in the box. Later messages leave the chat. |
| 👍 **Good answer** / 👎 **Bad answer** | The agent's replies | Rates the answer ("Rating saved"). The rating stays after you reload. |

## Troubleshooting agent replies

| Message | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| "Reconnecting to the Agent…" | Wait; Mammoth reconnects on its own. After a while: "Can't reach Mammoth. Check your connection; we'll keep trying." |
| "Lost the connection to the Agent. Your message was received and the reply may still be on its way." | Click **Reconnect** |
| "This reply failed. Nothing was changed." | Click **Try again** |
| "The Agent hit an error." | Click **Try again**, or **Reword your question** |
| "I couldn't find an answer. Try rewording or contact support." | Click **Reword** and ask another way |
| "Could not stop the Agent. It is still working. Try Stop again." | Click **Stop** again |
| "This chat no longer exists, so it can't take new messages." | Click **Start a new chat with this message** |
| "Could not load chat history." | Click **Try again** |
