Enterprise plans · Updated 8 Nov 2026

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).

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:
