Ask questions in natural language, browse prompt templates, and explore structured artifacts, all within a single conversation view. Olly applies a curated set of specialized skills to each request, the same pattern modern AI agents use to tackle complex tasks. The chat is tuned to handle anything from a quick lookup to a deep investigation, so you don't need to pick a mode before sending a prompt. Tip For how to phrase questions, give Olly the right context, and check its answers, see [Olly best practices](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/best-practices.md). ## Start a new chat[​](#start-a-new-chat "Direct link to Start a new chat") When you open a new chat, Olly greets you with a personalized home screen showing prompt template cards. Each card displays a title, a preview of the prompt, and a category tag (for example, Infrastructure, Incidents, APM). Use the arrow buttons to browse more templates, or type your own question in the input bar. ## Manage conversations[​](#manage-conversations "Direct link to Manage conversations") Every conversation with Olly is saved automatically. Select the chat title at the top of the page to open a dropdown with your recent chats. From there you can search for a chat or select one to continue where you left off. Select **View all** at the bottom of the dropdown to open the full **Chats** page. From the Chats page you can search, browse, and manage all your conversations. Hover over a chat and select the menu to: * **Rename**: Give the conversation a descriptive name so you can find it later. * **Delete**: Remove a conversation you no longer need. Use **Multi select** to rename or delete multiple conversations at once.

See [Share a conversation](#share-a-conversation). * **Edit a message**: Edit your message to Olly after you send it by selecting the edit icon next to it. Olly re-generates its response based on the updated message. * **Copy**: Copy Olly's response to the clipboard. * **Retry**: Re-generate Olly's response for a given message. * **Feedback**: Rate Olly's response with a thumbs up or thumbs down to help improve answer quality. * **Stop**: Select the stop button while Olly is generating a response to cancel it. [![Olly chat actions](/docs/assets/images/olly-chat-actions-6d20a4a5c874c209269936853a22bbaf.webp)](https://coralogix.com/docs/assets/images/olly-chat-actions-6d20a4a5c874c209269936853a22bbaf.webp) ### Share a conversation[​](#share-a-conversation "Direct link to Share a conversation") Select **Share** to open the **Select who has access** panel, then choose who can open the share link: * **Private**: Only you, the author, can view the conversation. * **Shared**: Team members can view the conversation. Selecting **Shared** reveals a member picker and the share link. When you select **Shared**, use the member picker to set who the link works for: * Leave the picker empty (**Everyone in the team**) to share with anyone on your team who has the link. * Search for and select one or more teammates to limit access to only those people. Each teammate is listed by name and email. Select **Save and copy link** to apply your choice and copy the link to your clipboard. For a **Private** conversation, the button reads **Save**, since there is no link to share. Note The member picker lists only the teammates who are eligible to receive shared conversations, based on their Coralogix permissions. ## Input bar features[​](#input-bar-features "Direct link to Input bar features") The input bar at the bottom of the chat provides access to: * [**Model selection**](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/model-selection.md): Pick the AI model Olly uses for your prompts, GPT, Claude, or Gemini. * [**Effort**](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/model-selection.md#effort): Set how deeply the model reasons before answering, from fast, lightweight responses to deeper analysis. Available on models that support a reasoning control. * [**GitHub repository**](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/github.md): Select the **+** icon to connect a GitHub account and add a repository as code context. The selected repository appears as a blue badge below the chat input. * [**File attachments**](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/file-attachments.md): Upload files from your device to give Olly additional context for your prompt. * [**Skills**](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/skills.md): Type `/` in the prompt for an autocomplete picker of your skills and built-in skills, or select the **+** icon, then **Skills** to browse the same list. **Manage skills** opens the **Skills** page. One built-in skill, `/scheduled-tasks`, lets you [create and manage scheduled tasks from chat](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/olly/scheduled-tasks.md#manage-scheduled-tasks-from-chat). ## Page and data context[​](#page-and-data-context "Direct link to Page and data context") Olly investigates your prompts in the context of where you opened the chat. Two kinds of context appear as removable chips above the prompt input: * **Page context**: Olly picks this up automatically from the page you opened the chat on. The chip is labelled with the surface name and the suffix **Page** (for example, **Explore Page**), and its tooltip reads *Olly uses this page query, time range, and filters as context.* * **Data context**: specific objects you pin yourself, for example, a log, a span, a metric chart, or a dashboard widget. Pinned objects are grouped by type: each type you have pinned shows as one chip (for example, a **Logs** chip or a **Spans** chip) with a count of how many objects it holds. Hover a chip to see the individual objects it groups. When you pin more types than fit above the prompt, the extra chips collapse into a **+N** chip. Select it to open the **More context** list. ### Add an object as data context[​](#add-an-object-as-data-context "Direct link to Add an object as data context") Select **Add to Olly context** to pin the object you're looking at; Olly opens with it attached. Selecting the control again on the same object reads **Remove from Olly context** and unpins it. The control is available on these surfaces: * **Logs table**: hover any row and select **Add to Olly context** in the right-pinned column. See [Add a log to Olly context](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/logs/grid.md#add-a-log-to-olly-context). * **Log details panel**: select **Add to Olly context** in the panel header, next to **Explain log**. See [Send the log to Olly as data context](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/logs/info_panel.md#send-the-log-to-olly-as-data-context). * **Templates grid**: hover any row and select **Add to Olly context** in the right-pinned column. See [Add a template to Olly context](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/logs/templates.md#add-a-template-to-olly-context). * **Spans table**: hover any row and select **Add to Olly context** in the right-pinned column. See [Add a span to Olly context](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/tables-and-flows.md#add-a-span-to-olly-context). * **Tracing drilldown, span summary**: select **Add to Olly context** in the span summary. See [Send a span to Olly as data context](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/spans/ask-olly.md#send-a-span-to-olly-as-data-context). * **Explore time-series chart**: select **Add to Olly context** in the chart toolbar to pin the chart. See [Ask Olly about the chart](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/data_exploration/timeseries-chart.md#ask-olly-about-the-chart). * **Dashboard widget**: hover a widget on a custom dashboard and select **Add to Olly context** in the widget toolbar, next to the more-actions menu. See [Ask Olly about a widget](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/custom-dashboards/introduction.md#ask-olly-about-a-widget). * **Infrastructure Explorer catalog**: hover a resource row and select **Add to Olly context** to pin the resource. See [Infrastructure Explorer](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/infrastructure/infrastructure-explorer/overview.md). You can pin objects of different types and from different surfaces in the same chat. When you send the prompt, Olly attaches every pinned object to the message so it can reason about the exact records, charts, and widgets you picked. ### Tag an object from the prompt[​](#tag-an-object-from-the-prompt "Direct link to Tag an object from the prompt") You can also pin an object without leaving the chat. Type `@` in the prompt for a picker of matching Coralogix objects, grouped by type. Keep typing to filter the list by name, then select a result. If nothing matches, the picker shows **No matching results**. The object you tag appears as a mention in the prompt and as a data-context chip above it (the same chip you get from **Add to Olly context**) and Olly attaches it without opening a drawer. You can tag these object types: * Services * Dashboards * Dashboard widgets * Alerts * Cases * Metrics * AI applications * Evaluations You see only the types you have permission to view. To untag an object, remove its mention from the prompt. ### Remove a chip or clear data context[​](#remove-a-chip-or-clear-data-context "Direct link to Remove a chip or clear data context") * **Remove one type**: hover a data-context chip and select the close icon to unpin every object of that type at once. Its tooltip reads **Remove data context: \
