How It Works

You can activate the Response Menu in two ways:

Hover to Select

When you hover your mouse over a section header or response block:

• The entire block automatically highlights

• The Response Menu appears above it

• No clicking required

This makes it faster to interact with complete sections of a response.

Manual Selection

You can also manually:

1. Highlight any portion of text inside a Storytell response or Artifact

2. The floating Response Menu appears directly above your selection

3. Choose from the available actions

This is useful when you only want to work with a specific sentence or paragraph instead of the entire block.

Important: Credit Usage

All actions (except Copy, +Add, and Share) generate a new AI-powered response and consume credits.

Menu Actions

The menu includes seven main action categories:

Copy text

Copies the highlighted text to your clipboard instantly.
No follow-up prompt and no credit usage.

+Add Knowledge

Adds the selected portion of a Storytell response to your Project Knowledge.

This allows you to use Storytell’s own output as context in future chats.

Why This Matters

Think of it this way:

• A chat thread is short-term memory

• A project is long-term memory

If you start a new chat thread, it does not automatically remember what happened in previous threads.

By adding selected responses (or even entire chat threads) to your Project Knowledge, you:

• Make your project smarter

• Improve future responses

• Preserve important insights

• Build cumulative intelligence over time

You can:

• Add just a selected block using +Add Knowledge

• Add a full response

• Use “View Sections” to add an entire chat thread

  

This helps prevent future chats from being “blind” to past work.
