Smart Follow-Ups & Quick Actions

Pluely v1 doesn't just hand you an answer and stop there. After every response in Ask mode, Pluely suggests up to four relevant follow-up chips you can tap to keep going instantly, and it gives you a set of editable quick actions for the things you ask most often — all without retyping context you've already established.

Smart Follow-ups after every answer

Once an answer finishes streaming in, Pluely proposes up to four tappable follow-up chips relevant to what was just discussed, generated by the Pluely service from the conversation so far. These appear just below the answer in the overlay. Tapping one sends it immediately as your next question — you don't need to type anything.

Because Pluely keeps the whole conversation and sends it with every new question, a tapped follow-up carries the same context, attachments, and history forward automatically. This is often faster and more accurate than typing a new question from scratch, since the follow-up suggestion is phrased specifically around what the AI just said.

Quick actions

Alongside dynamic follow-ups, Pluely offers quick actions — a set of shortcuts for common instructions, like asking for a more concise version, an explanation, or a translation. Unlike follow-ups, which change based on the last answer, quick actions are persistent and editable: you can customize which ones appear so the shortcuts you use constantly are always one tap away.

How it works

  1. Ask a question in Ask mode and let the answer finish streaming.
  2. Look just below the answer for the suggested follow-up chips.
  3. Tap a follow-up to send it instantly, or use one of your quick actions for a common instruction.
  4. To change which quick actions are available, use the Edit toggle on the follow-ups row and add or remove entries to match what you actually use.

The same pattern is available from a saved meeting transcript in the Library, where quick actions let you transform a transcript into a summary, key points, a concise or longer version, an explanation, or a translation.

Which plans include Smart Follow-ups

Smart Follow-ups are included on Pluely's paid plans — Limited and Unlimited Pro — and on licenses issued through a Pluely partner. They are not part of the free/bring-your-own-keys setup, trial licenses, or the Dev Pro (bring-your-own-keys) license. On plans without Smart Follow-ups, your saved quick actions still appear exactly as before — only the automatically generated suggestion chips are absent.

Turning Smart Follow-ups on or off

Smart Follow-ups have their own control in the dashboard:

  1. Open the dashboard and go to Response Settings.
  2. Find the Smart Follow-ups control, just above Response Length.
  3. Toggle it on or off — the change applies to your very next answer.
  4. Optionally, add custom instructions to shape the suggestions — for example, "suggest deeper technical questions" or "keep suggestions in Spanish" — and every generated chip follows them.

Monthly allowance

Smart Follow-ups come with their own monthly allowance — 100 generations per month by default — shown alongside your other meters on the plan-and-usage screen. Each answer that produces a set of chips counts as one generation, however many chips appear. The allowance resets on the 1st of each month (UTC).

Importantly, Smart Follow-ups never consume your AI requests: generating the suggestions comes out of this separate allowance, so leaving the feature on doesn't shrink your question budget. Tapping a chip to send it counts as a normal AI request, like any question you'd type yourself. If you reach the follow-ups limit, answers keep working as usual — the suggestion chips simply pause until the reset. On a license issued through a Pluely partner, please contact your partner if you need more.

Why this matters

Retyping context is slow and easy to get wrong — a follow-up chip is guaranteed to reference the right prior answer, and a quick action is guaranteed to use the phrasing you've already tuned to your liking. Together they turn a single question into a fluid conversation instead of a series of disconnected prompts.

Follow-ups versus quick actions

It helps to think of the two as complementary rather than overlapping:

  • Follow-ups are dynamic and contextual — Pluely generates new ones after every single answer, tailored to what was just said. You can't edit the list directly, but it constantly refreshes to stay relevant.
  • Quick actions are static and personal — you define them once in settings, and they stay the same across every conversation until you change them again. They're best for instructions you reach for constantly, regardless of what the last answer happened to be.

Using both together means you rarely have to type a full question from scratch: a follow-up handles the "what's the natural next question here," and a quick action handles "the thing I always ask."

Tips

  • Scan the follow-up suggestions before typing a new question manually — there's a good chance one already says what you were about to type.
  • Curate your quick actions down to the handful you use daily; a shorter, more relevant list is faster to scan than a long one.
  • Use quick actions on meeting transcripts right after a call ends, while the transcript is fresh, to get a summary or key points in one tap.
  • If a follow-up isn't quite right, you can still edit it before sending rather than sending it as-is.
