Every AI Mode answer has a row of buttons under it, and the message box has a few more. With them you can keep an answer, pass a question on, hear it read aloud, or ask for a different answer.

The buttons are the last row under the answer (5).

#Under each answer

Button What it does
Copy Copies the answer as text with Markdown formatting, followed by the list of the sources it cited and their addresses.
Share Copies a link that asks the same question in AI Mode. On a phone it opens your device's share menu instead. The link carries the question, not the answer: whoever opens it gets a new answer.
Listen Reads the answer aloud with a voice built into your device, without sending the text anywhere. Select it again (Stop) to stop. It is missing in browsers that cannot read aloud.
Regenerate Asks the same question again for a new answer, which replaces the last one. Only on the latest answer. It counts as a message.
News Opens the News page with the search the answer was built from.
Web Opens your question as a Web search.
Finance Answers the question again with the site's Finance data (prices, the day's move, earnings) for what it is about. A tick means the answer already has it. Only on the latest answer, and only on sites with Finance. It counts as a message.
Predictions Answers again with the odds prediction markets give on what the question is about. Works like Finance.
Politics Answers again with the federal record: the members of Congress, bills, roll-call votes and executive orders the question is about. Works like Finance, on sites with Politics.

The arrow beside Finance, Predictions and Politics chooses what that service puts first. If you never open it, the first choice (the default) is used.

Button Choices (the default first)
Finance Everything · Price and valuation · Earnings and estimates
Predictions Top markets · Most traded · Biggest movers · Closing soonest
Politics Everything · Members of Congress · Bills · Votes · Executive actions

#Edit your last question

Under your latest question, select Edit. The question goes back into the message box, with a note: "Editing your last question. Sending replaces it and its answer." Change it and press Enter, or select Cancel (or press Esc) to leave it as it was. The edited question counts as a new message.

#In the message box

The message box after the first answer.

  • Include sets Finance, Predictions and Politics to come with every message you send. Select a button to switch it on with its default, or open its arrow to choose what it puts first (the same choices as under an answer). It stays on, even in a new chat, until you select it again or choose Stop including it, or close the tab. Nothing extra is counted: each message still counts once.
  • New chat clears the conversation and starts again, with the message count back at 0.
  • Save downloads the whole chat as a Markdown text file to your device, named after your first question. It appears once the chat has a message. The file ends with a reminder that AI Mode can make mistakes.
  • The counter shows the messages used out of 10.
  • The send arrow turns into a square while an answer is being written; select it to stop.

#When an answer stops short

  • Stopped before the answer finished means you stopped it. Regenerate it if you want the whole answer.
  • The answer was cut off, so it may be incomplete means it ran too long or the connection dropped. Select Continue to have it carry on; that sends a message.
  • An answer that failed says why and offers Try again. See When an AI answer does not appear.

#Common questions

Which buttons use up one of my 10 messages?

Anything that asks for a new answer: sending a question, Regenerate, an edited question, Continue, and Ask AI on a result card. Copy, Share, Save, Listen and the search buttons do not.

Does Share send my answer to the other person?

No. It copies a link that asks the same question, with the chat's topic if it has one. The other person gets their own answer, which may differ from yours.

Where does Save put the file?

Wherever your browser saves downloads. It is a plain text file with Markdown formatting, which any text editor or notes app can open.

Listen says there is no voice. What can I do?

Your browser has no voice installed on the device for the page's language. Install one in your device's speech settings, or try another browser.
