Chief response menu
The Response Menu is an interactive feature that appears whenever you highlight text inside any Chief response or Artifact. It provides quick, context-aware tools that let you deepen understanding, rewrite content, analyze tone, or explore related ideas, without crafting new prompts from scratch.

How It Works
You can activate the Response Menu in two ways:
Hover to Select
When you hover your mouse over a section header or response block:
The entire block automatically highlights
The Response Menu appears above it
No clicking required
This makes it faster to interact with complete sections of a response.
Manual Selection
You can also manually:
Highlight any portion of text inside a Chief response or Artifact
The floating Response Menu appears directly above your selection
Choose from the available actions
This is useful when you only want to work with a specific sentence or paragraph instead of the entire block.
Important: Credit Usage
All actions (except Copy, +Add, and Share) generate a new AI-powered response and consume credits.
Menu Actions

The menu includes seven main action categories:
Share
Generates a public URL that links directly to the exact selected section of the Chief response.
When shared:
The recipient lands on that precise part of the response
No scrolling required
Perfect for collaboration and async sharing
Copy text
Copies the highlighted text to your clipboard instantly.
No follow-up prompt and no credit usage.
Chat with
Opens a focused chat panel where Chief automatically creates a follow-up prompt related to the highlighted text.
You can use this to:
Ask clarifying questions
Continue the topic
Request expansions, rewrites, or summaries
Explore alternatives or improvements
This option acts like a quick-launch contextual conversation.
+Add Knowledge
Adds the selected portion of a Chief response to your Project Knowledge.
This allows you to use Chief’s own output as context in future chats.
Why This Matters
Think of it this way:
A chat thread is short-term memory
A project is long-term memory
If you start a new chat thread, it does not automatically remember what happened in previous threads.
By adding selected responses (or even entire chat threads) to your Project Knowledge, you:
Make your project smarter
Improve future responses
Preserve important insights
Build cumulative intelligence over time
You can:
Add just a selected block using +Add Knowledge
Add a full response
Use “View Sections” to add an entire chat thread
This helps prevent future chats from being “blind” to past work.
