# Ask Lena from any page

> Open Lena Agent beside the page you’re on, so it already knows which course, quiz or assignment you mean, and manage your chats.

**Ask Lena** opens the agent in a panel beside whatever you're looking at. On a
quiz it knows the quiz; on a course it knows the course. You don't have to name
it, and you don't lose your place.

## Open the panel

**1. Go to the page**

Open the course, assignment, quiz, exam, discussion or announcement you have a question about. A list page, such as
your assignments, works too.

**2. Choose Ask Lena**

Choose **Ask Lena** in the top bar, or press <kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>J</kbd> (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>J</kbd> on Windows). On
a phone, tap the floating **Ask Lena** button. The panel opens with a heading such as "Ask about Introduction to
Psychology", and a small tag naming the course, quiz or other item it will share with the agent.

Ask Lena on a course page, with the course tag and suggestions for that page.

**3. Ask, or pick a suggestion**

Type your question, or choose one of the suggestions for that page. The agent replies in the panel, with the same
approval cards and links as the full chat.

The agent’s reply in the panel. Open the whole chat to see it full width.

To close the panel, choose **Close the agent** or press <kbd>Esc</kbd>. Once a
chat has started, **New chat** starts afresh on the same page, and **Open the
whole chat** opens it full width under **AI Agent**.

**Keep the page private.** If you'd rather not share it with the agent, remove
the tag ("Don't share this … with the agent") before you send.

## Suggestions by page

| On | You'll see suggestions like |
| - | - |

| An ended course | "How did students do in this course?" · "Which students struggled the most?" |
| A quiz | "Which questions did most students get wrong?" · "Make a similar quiz for next week" |

| A list page | "Which assignments are waiting to be marked?" · "Which exams are coming up?" |
| Anywhere else | "Give me a morning brief" · "What's due this week?" |

## Work elsewhere while it answers

You can close the panel, move to another page, reload, or close the tab, and the
agent keeps going. While it works, **Ask
Lena** shows a pulsing dot. When it's done, a notice tells you what happened:

* "Lena answered"
* "Lena needs your go-ahead" (an approval card is waiting)
* "Lena has a question for you"
* "Lena couldn't finish"

Choose **Open** to go to the chat. If you were offline, it brings the reply back
when you reconnect. A reply you started on your computer also shows, as it
happens, on your phone.

## Stop a reply

Choose **Stop** (where **Send** was) at any time. The chat notes "You stopped
this reply." Anything the agent already saved stays in the app. To try again,
choose **Retry** under the newest reply, or send a new message.

## Your chats

Your chats are listed in the sidebar when it's switched to **Agent**, grouped by
when you last used them: **Pinned**, **Today**, **Yesterday**, and so on. Open a
chat's **More** menu to:

* **Pin** it to the top, or **Unpin** it.
* **Mark as read** or **Mark as unread**.
* **Rename** it.
* **Delete** it. Confirm with **Delete** in "Delete this chat?". The chat is
  gone for good, from your other devices too. Files you attached in it go as
  well, unless you saved them to a course.

Your chats appear on every device you sign in on, for each school. When you sign
out, they leave that device, and they come back when you sign in again.
