Choices and details
How the brain offers quick answers and asks for several details one at a time.
# Choices and details Sometimes the brain needs something from you before it can go on. It asks in one of two ways. ## Choices When the brain wants you to pick between a few options, it shows them as pills under its newest answer. Select a pill to send it as your reply. You can also ignore the pills and type your own answer in the box. Pills appear only under the newest finished answer. ## Details When the brain needs several things before it can go on, a card appears above the box, headed **The brain is asking for**. It asks for one thing at a time and shows your progress, for example 1 of 3. - If the brain offers fixed answers, they appear as pills. Select one, or type your own in the field that says **Or type your own**. - Otherwise type your answer in the field. - Select **Next** to move on, or **Back** to change an earlier answer. Your earlier answer is kept. - On the last detail select **Send**. All answers go back to the brain in one reply, numbered in the order they were asked. ## What you must not enter The card says: **Never enter passwords or payment details here.** It refuses to send an answer that looks like a card number or a bank number, and it checks the answers together, so splitting a number across answers does not get past it. If it refuses, remove the number and try again. The card also refuses to show a request whose label or fixed answers name a secret or payment details. If a skill needs a key to reach another service, an admin stores it.
