Response Area

- Current state: The existing value (for example, current printer name, printer details, etc.).
- Suggested update: The proposed change (for example, new printer name, new details, etc.).
Users can Accept or Reject each recommendation.
Response Buttons
The following three buttons are available after each response:
- Copy
: Copy VAI's response to the clipboard. - Regenerate
: Resubmit the same prompt if you get a "something went wrong" message. When you use this option, VAI tracks the regeneration attempts and displays a number. You can use the right or left arrows to view the history. - Report
: Use to generate an automatic report to the development team. You can select from one of the options for quick feedback.
