Type or dictate a message to Scout in Galvant Chat. If Scout needs more information, answer its questions in the chat to continue.

Start a chat

Click Chat in the app sidebar, then New chat. Type your message and press Enter to send. Press Shift+Enter to start a new line in the message box. For a starting question about sales, finance, or production, use the Quickstart.

You can speak your message in English and turn it into text before sending.
1

Start recording

Click the microphone button in the message box. Its tooltip is Dictate a message. Allow microphone access if your browser asks.
2

Stop and transcribe

Speak your message, then click Stop and transcribe, the square stop button. Wait for the transcription to appear in the message box.

Review and send

Check the text, especially names, dates, and numbers. Edit it if needed, then send your message.
GIF or video placeholder: CHAT-02Record starting dictation, speaking a short English question, stopping, correcting one transcribed word, and sending the edited message.
Recordings have a 10-minute limit. Click Discard recording, the X button, to discard one. If transcription fails and Retry appears, use it to try again. For microphone errors, see Troubleshooting.

Respond to Scout’s questions

Scout may ask you to choose a time period, clarify a term, or decide how to continue. The Question card appears near the message box while Scout waits for your response.
  • Click one of the offered answers, or write your own response.
  • Selecting an offered answer advances to the next question or submits the final response. For a written answer, click Next, or Send on the last question.
  • Use the back arrow to revisit an earlier question before submitting.
  • Click Skip if you do not want to provide the requested answer.
When Scout is waiting on a question, respond through that card to continue the request. Starting another conversation does not answer the question in this one.
GIF placeholder: CHAT-03Show a clarification card, selecting an option or entering a custom answer, and Scout continuing. Include the question counter if several questions are shown.

Ask follow-up questions

Send related questions in the same conversation so Scout can use its earlier messages, results, and attachments. Scout may suggest a follow-up in the empty message box after finishing an answer. With the message box focused:
  1. Press Tab to accept the suggestion into your draft.
  2. Edit the text if you want to change it.
  3. Press Enter to send.
Press Escape to dismiss a suggestion. You can also type your own message. A suggestion is optional and does not appear after every answer.
GIF placeholder: CHAT-04Show a suggested follow-up, pressing Tab to accept it, editing the draft, and pressing Enter to send. Make the difference between accepting and sending visible.

Leave and return while Scout works

Scout keeps working when you switch to another conversation or another area of Galvant. Reopen the conversation from Recents or Pinned to see the ongoing work or completed answer. If Scout asks you a question, it waits for your reply. Return to the conversation and answer the Question card to continue.
Video placeholder: CHAT-05Send an analysis, navigate elsewhere within Galvant, and return to the same conversation. Show ongoing output or the completed result when you return.
To review Scout’s work, open the agent trace. For when to reuse a thread or start a separate one, see Manage conversations.

Use tables and charts

Ask Scout for tables or charts, expand and explore rows, inspect plotted values, refresh result cards, and download table data as an Excel file.

Agent trace and Show logic

Follow Scout's work in the agent trace and open Show logic to understand its thought process, the steps it took, and the sources behind an answer.
