Point at This Page and Ask the AI
The current page body is sent to her automatically. A short phrase in the box is enough; you do not have to copy this passage first.
You are reading this page, and you pause at “the current page body is sent to her automatically”: what, exactly, gets sent, and how does Alice know which sentence you mean?
The old habit is to leave, open another AI chat, come back, and highlight that sentence. Copy, switch, paste, then add “this is a lesson on how to use Alice.” Skip the background, and she only sees a lonely line of source text, with no idea where “here” points.
By the time that ritual is done, the first question has slid from “how does she know which sentence I mean” to “how do I brief the background.” Paste too little, and you come back for the line above. Paste too much, and you have to point again at the real stuck spot. The hauling before the question is crowding out the question itself.
On a course page at xueai.miyang.cn, that hauling can be skipped. A gray quote bar for the current page sits above the box, and the page body goes to Alice on its own. Type “Lost me here”, and she receives not only that short phrase, but the page it points at.
If the stuck spot is a short stretch, select two or more characters in the body. When the overlay appears, tap “Ask Alice,” and the selection enters a quote chip. The question now lands narrower — on the stretch you just marked. Watch the demo first; the right side will stack what Alice actually receives, layer by layer.
A gray quote bar sits above the box and will not close. It says this page plus its title is already attached. The page body goes to her on its own. So type “Lost me here”. That “here” has a landing spot; she will not ask which page you are on.
This changes where a question starts. The first sentence used to introduce the material; the second got to the doubt. Now the first sentence can ask about the real stuck spot. The page is already the background. You only add your question.
To point more tightly, mark a stretch in the body. Select two or more characters and an overlay appears. Tap “Ask Alice,” the stretch enters a quote chip, and the question is that stretch. Use it when you know the stuck sentence. When you only know the whole page got away from you, asking in the box is enough.
The step you skip is not only convenience. When you paste, it is easy to paste only the middle sentence and leave the one above on the page. She only sees the block you handed over, so she turns the waiting period into a dictionary line: a stretch after the policy starts, during which a diagnosis is not covered. The exception in the sentence above — a diagnosis from accidental injury is not bound by the waiting period — she never gets a chance to mention.
The demo contrast is the same point. Ask on this page, and Alice gets the page, the body, the selection, and a short hint pinning “here” to this page. Haul one sentence into another chat, and all that remains is the block you pasted. The input looks longer; the background is thinner. The answer drifts into a generic gloss.
You can try it now. Do not select anything; type “Lost me here” in the box. If her explanation is too wide, go back, mark the stuck stretch, and tap “Ask Alice.” Both asks stay in this page's context. The second only narrows the landing to the selection.
