See what the agent is doing while it works

When an agent looks something up before it answers, the chat no longer sits on a fixed "Thinking…". A short line says what it is doing right now, so visitors know the answer is on its way.

What shipped

  • Live steps in place of "Thinking…": "Looking that up…", "Checking the documents…", "Browsing the website…", "Searching the web…", "Reviewing what I found…" and more.
  • If one step takes longer than 15 seconds, the line changes to "Still on it — this one takes a little longer…".
  • Steps describe the kind of work, never your tool names or what was sent to them.
  • On the chat page and in the widget, in all 14 languages.
  • Steps are only shown while the answer is prepared; they are not saved in the conversation.
