Paste images directly into your question and queue up follow-up questions.

Add a screenshot directly and queue up your next question: two improvements make chatting in AI-Public more convenient. For example, when reviewing public information or refining text for residents.

Pasting images: copy an image and paste it into the question bar using Ctrl+V or Cmd+V on a Mac. The image is added right away, just as it would be if you dragged it in. To copy a screenshot to your clipboard, press Windows+Shift+S or, on a Mac, Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4. This lets you add, for example, a cropped section of a municipal website to your question.

Queuing follow-up questions: while AI-Public is still responding, you can type and send your next question. It will appear in the queue above the input field, where you can edit, move, or delete messages. As soon as the response is ready, the first message in the queue is sent automatically. This is useful when you want to ask follow-up questions about plain language while reviewing a draft.

The queue works only with regular chat questions, not with images, audio, documents, or workflows.
