User Questions

Answer the questions Chetty asks during a conversation, with a choice, a preview or your own typed reply.

What you see

Chetty can ask one to four questions in a turn, each with two to four choices. A choice has a short label, usually one to five words, and a description.

One option can carry a Recommended badge, and a question can accept several choices instead of one. Typed answers are allowed by default; the option is missing when Chetty has turned free text off.

In the web UI and the CLI, choices are interactive controls. Another surface may ask you to reply with a number: the web shows the full question header, while the CLI clips its chip to about 12 characters.

Previews

A choice can carry a preview: monospace text for comparing a mockup, a code sample or a configuration. The web shows it exactly as written, line breaks and spacing included.

Previews work only for single selection. On a desktop the selected one sits beside the choices, on a phone under its row, and the CLI shows it when the terminal is wide enough.

Answer a question

1. Read the header above the question; a several-answer question adds select one or more.
2. Choose a choice, or press its number key. For a several-answer question, choose every choice that applies.
3. To give your own answer, select Custom answer and type in the box that opens.
4. In a turn with several questions, choose Next to continue, or Back to return to the previous one.
5. On the last question, choose Send answer. The button stays disabled until every question has an answer.

Your answers stay in the conversation as one short line per question, with its header and your answer. They are still there after you reload the page.

Keyboard shortcuts

In the web chat, number keys select a choice and arrow keys move within a question. Alt+Left and Alt+Right switch questions, and Ctrl+Enter sends your answers; Command+Enter does the same on macOS.

When a question expires

Chetty waits, so the turn stays paused until you answer. If you do not answer in time the question expires, Chetty continues without an answer, and the conversation shows Question expired without an answer.

Admin: The wait is set under Settings → Chetty AI → Limits, in Edit limits, as Question timeout. It runs from 30 seconds to 6 hours and defaults to 6 hours.

Turn the plugin on or off

Administrators manage the plugin in Settings → Plugins; select it to open its detail view. Only an administrator can enable or disable it, every account can use it without an individual grant, and the change applies after the restart Chetty does shortly. Running work survives that restart; unanswered questions do not.
