The assistant uses an advanced AI model to help testers write tests faster.

When sending messages to an AI model, each message has a specific structure. That structure includes a system message and context that is tied to each message.

System message

A system message is a set of instructions that are added at the top of the context for a new conversation.

Message context

The message context consists of the system message followed by any previous questions and responses in the current conversation. New replies in the same conversation inherit the context of the previous message and include its question and response in their own context. Therefore, the context for each message is unique and defines the state of the conversation at a particular point.

You can examine the context of the message by selecting it and using the button to copy the message and its context to the clipboard.

Message structure

Messages have the following format:

• Context
• Message
• Response

The default context is:

• System message

Message controls

Changing message context

Use the button in the status bar to change the context for the next message that is either a reply or a start of new conversation.

Status bar

The status of the message is shown at the top of the message input box in the status bar.

The following status messages can be expected:

• Status: sending - message is being sent.
• Status: in queue - message has been queued for processing.
• Status: completed - message has been processed, and response has been completed.

Status bar menu buttons:

• - change system message

Layout

On large screens, the assistant is broken up into the left and right panes to provide a convenient way to work with long messages and responses. The questions box is on the left and the message controls is on the right.

On mobile devices, the message controls are at the bottom, and a questions box with messages and responses is shown at the top.

Here is the system message. This system message will be applied to all future new conversations started with the button.

System message will not be changed for the replies to existing conversations. If you want to change system message for replies to existing conversations, edit the message context instead using the button.

Here is the current message context. This context will be applied to the next message.
