Follow-Up Prompts

Open WebUI can automatically generate follow-up question suggestions after each model response. These suggestions appear as clickable chips below the response, helping you explore topics further without typing new prompts.

Settings​

Configure follow-up prompt behavior in Settings > Interface under the Chat section:

Follow-Up Auto-Generation​

Default: On

Automatically generates follow-up question suggestions after each response. These suggestions are generated by the task model based on the conversation context.

  • On: Follow-up prompts are generated after each model response
  • Off: No follow-up suggestions are generated

Keep Follow-Up Prompts in Chat​

Default: Off

By default, follow-up prompts only appear for the most recent message and disappear when you continue the conversation.

  • On: Follow-up prompts are preserved and remain visible for all messages in the chat history
  • Off: Only the last message shows follow-up prompts
Perfect for Knowledge Exploration

Enable this setting when exploring a knowledge base. You can see all the suggested follow-ups from previous responses, making it easy to revisit and explore alternative paths through the information.

Insert Follow-Up Prompt to Input​

Default: Off

Controls what happens when you click a follow-up prompt.

  • On: Clicking a follow-up inserts the text into the input field, allowing you to edit it before sending
  • Off: Clicking a follow-up immediately sends it as your next message

Regenerating Follow-Ups​

If you want to regenerate follow-up suggestions for a specific response, you can use the Regenerate Followups action button from the community.
