The prompt bar, centered at the bottom of the canvas, is both a search box and your entry point to Ask Ever.
Use it
- Click the prompt bar — its placeholder reads What's on your mind today?
- Type a question or search term and press Enter to submit. Shift+Enter adds a new line instead.
- Press Escape to collapse or clear it.
A row of thinking-mode toggles above the bar — Search, Tactical, Grounded, and Strategic — changes how deeply Ask Ever reasons about your question. Each mode is covered in its own article under AI Conversations.
