Using Space Chat
Tables, charts and views
Answers that are easier to read as a table, a chart, buttons or cards, and small interactive tools.
Most answers are text. But when a table, chart or set of buttons would make an answer clearly easier to read, compare or act on, the copilot shows one. These are called views.
The kinds of views
| View | When you'll see it | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Table | Comparing items, listing records | Sort by clicking a column. Download as CSV. |
| Chart | Trends and shares: bar, line, or pie/donut | Hover for values. Open the data behind it with a click. |
| Choices | A question with a few possible answers | Click a button; it sends that answer as your next message. |
| Cards | Items to browse or pick from, such as search results | Click a title link or an action button on a card. |
| Interactive widget | A calculator, a what-if model or a diagram | Use it right in the chat. |

Good to know
- Large tables. A table view shows up to 500 rows at a time. If some rows are missing, you'll see “Showing N of M rows” and a Show all rows button.
- Reloading keeps them. If you reopen a conversation, the same views are still there.
- Links and images are real. Cards only show links and images that actually appeared in the information the copilot used, so you don't get made-up links.
- Secret values stay hidden. A protected value, such as a PIN you entered, never appears in a view.
- Widgets are sandboxed. An interactive widget runs in an isolated frame, kept separate from the rest of the app.
Turning a view into something permanent
If you like a view and want it again, ask for a Page: a saved app that shows live data every time you open it. See Pages.
