Knowledge Assistant responses

Discover the different types of content, charts, and layouts the Knowledge Assistant can create for you.

Updated this week

When you chat with an Assistant, the response you get can be much more than just a block of text. Depending on your needs, it can provide a wide range of visual results—from checklists and bold headings to interactive charts and organized dashboards.

While every Assistant will automatically choose the best layout for your request, knowing the different options available lets you guide the conversation when you have a specific look in mind.
