OpenBot Side Questions Keep Chat Clean
OpenBot lets users ask an agent questions in a side panel while it works, without interrupting the active task or adding messages to the main conversation. The isolated exchange uses the agent’s current context while keeping the main thread focused.
This is a small UX feature with outsized value for long-running agent tasks, where clarification should not derail execution.
- –Users can probe reasoning, assumptions, or progress without steering the active task.
- –Side exchanges stay separate from the main transcript, reducing context pollution.
- –The agent answers using its provider, model, and recent chat context, but without tools.
- –Web-client and joined-server support makes the workflow useful beyond the local desktop.
- –Ephemeral side conversations are helpful for quick questions, though closing the panel deletes the exchange.
