Choose what Chetty shows while it works

While Chetty answers, the chat can show a progress line, every step, or nothing. A busy group usually wants less than a private chat.

Change it in one chat

  1. Write /display in the chat.
  2. Chetty answers with the current setting.
  3. Pick what You want to change:
    • Discord opens a form with four choices. Choose a value and confirm.
    • Telegram and Teams show buttons. Tap the one You want.
  4. Chetty confirms the new setting. It applies to everyone in that chat from then on.

Only the person who looks after the chat may change it. The default for every chat of one app belongs to Your administrator. WhatsApp has no /display, so the administrator's default applies there.

On Discord, Telegram and Teams the four choices have the same names. The app shows them in English.

Progress while it works

Choice What the chat sees
off Only the answer.
status One line that updates while Chetty works.
live The work as it arrives.

When the answer appears

Choice What the chat sees
final The answer appears once it is complete.
live The answer grows in place while Chetty writes.

How much detail

Choice What the chat sees
hidden That a step ran, without its output.
summary A one-line result of each step.
tail The end of the output, refreshed as it grows.

How many messages

Choice What the chat sees
single All progress is edited into a single message.
per_tool Each step gets its own message.

One more choice

In Discord, Replace tool activity with the answer is off by default. Turned on, the progress message becomes the final answer and the answer is not posted separately.

Try it

Ask Chetty for something that takes a few steps, such as a list of a folder. The progress in that chat follows the choice and the answer still arrives.

If it does not work

  • /display is refused. Only the person who looks after the chat may change it. Ask them.
  • The setting is ignored in one chat. A /display choice for that chat outranks the default. Run /display there again.
  • The answer replaced the progress message. Replace tool activity with the answer is on.
