# Regenerate a Response

### Overview

The **Regenerate** feature allows you to refine, adjust, or completely regenerate any response from the AI directly within your chat. Whether you need more detail, a simpler answer, or want to try a different AI model, the regeneration options give you full control over the output — without resending your original message.

***

### Where to Find the Regenerate Button

The **Regenerate** button is located in the **message toolbar** that appears beneath each AI response in your chat.

1. Open a chat with any Knowledge Bot.
2. Send a message and wait for the AI to generate a response.
3. Look at the **bottom of the AI response** — you will see a toolbar with action icons.
4. The **Regenerate** icon is displayed within this toolbar alongside other message actions (e.g., copy, like, dislike).
5. Click the **Regenerate** icon to open the regeneration options menu.

> 💡 **Tip:** The Regenerate icon is only available on AI responses — it does not appear on your own messages.

When you click the **Regenerate** icon on an AI response, an options menu appears with the following choices:

| **Custom Prompt**       | Type a custom instruction describing how the response should be improved.                                |
| **Regenerate**          | Regenerate the entire response from scratch using the same settings.                                     |
| **Add More Details**    | Regenerate the response with additional depth and elaboration.                                           |
| **Simplify**            | Regenerate a shorter, more concise version of the response.                                              |
| **Web Search**          | Regenerate the response using a live web search to incorporate up-to-date information from the internet. |
| **Regenerate with LLM** | Choose a different AI model (LLM) from a list and regenerate the response using that model.              |
