# Asking about your Site

> Ask questions in your own words and add detail when a period, subject, or breakdown matters.

You can type **any question in your own words**. The suggested questions shown in the Assistant are optional starting points, not a fixed list of commands.

<Info>
  You do not need to copy an example or use specific wording. Ask the question
  as you would ask a colleague who understands your Site analytics.

## Ask in your own words

Questions can be short, detailed, analytical, or about using Onsomble. For example:

* "What's happening with our visibility?"
* "Why is Nike ahead of us in the latest scan?"
* "How do I add another Site?"

These are examples only. The Assistant interprets the question you enter and decides what Site analytics, AI responses, or documentation it needs to check.

## What the Assistant already knows

Every question is automatically associated with the current Site and the supported page from which you sent it. Earlier turns in the selected conversation are also available for follow-up questions.

| Included automatically                 | Add it yourself when relevant                                   |
| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Current Site                           | Selected filters                                                |
| Current supported page                 | A selected scan or chart point                                  |
| Earlier conversation turns             | An open table row or detail panel                               |
| Saved analytics available for the Site | The exact period, model, region, prompt, or competitor you mean |

The Assistant knows that you are on the **Narrative** page, for example, but it cannot see which row you opened or which filters you selected.

## Add detail when it changes the answer

Start with the outcome you want. Add more detail only when the answer depends on it:

* **Period**: latest completed scan, latest two scans, or last 30 days
* **Subject**: your Site, a competitor, prompt, model, region, or reference
* **Breakdown**: by model, region, prompt, brand, or date
* **Evidence**: aggregate values or the exact AI response

For example:

> Compare our visibility with Nike and Adidas in the latest completed scan, broken down by model.

You can still begin with a broad question. The Assistant may ask for clarification if two interpretations would produce materially different answers.

## Continue the conversation naturally

Follow-up questions do not need to repeat the full original request. After asking about a competitor gap, you could continue with:

1. "Which prompts contribute most to that?"
2. "Break those down by model."
3. "Show me the strongest underlying AI response."

Restate a name or period when "that" could refer to more than one result.

## If the answer misses your intent

* Say which metric or result you meant.
* Name the selected period, model, region, prompt, or competitor.
* Ask what scope and evidence the Assistant used.
* Start a new conversation if the earlier discussion is unrelated.
