Stopping and Regenerating Responses
Learn how to control AI response generation and get alternative answers when needed
Omnifact gives you full control over the ’s response generation process. Sometimes you may want to stop a response that’s heading in the wrong direction or request a different approach to your question. These powerful features help you get exactly the information you need.
Stopping Response Generation
While Omnifact is generating a response, you have the ability to stop the process immediately if you notice it’s not providing what you need.
When to Stop a Response
Response is Off-Track
The AI is answering a different question than what you intended to ask.
Response is Too Long
The AI is providing more detail than you need or going into unnecessary tangents.
You Want to Rephrase
You realize your question could be clearer or more specific.
You Have a Better Idea
You’ve thought of a better way to approach your question while waiting.
How to Stop Response Generation
Locate the 'Stop generating' button
While the AI assistant is actively generating a response, look for the “Stop generating” button above the message input field.
Click to stop immediately
Click the “Stop generating” button to halt the response generation instantly. You’ll see a brief “Generating response cancelled” message confirming the action.
Choose your next action
After stopping, you’ll have three options:
- Continue Generating: Resume from where the AI left off
- Regenerate Response: Start a completely new response
- Write a Follow-up Question: Type a new or rephrased question in the input field to redirect the conversation
Stopping generation is particularly useful when you’re in a hurry and want to quickly refocus the conversation without waiting for a lengthy response to complete.
Regenerating AI Responses
If you’re not satisfied with a completed response, you can ask Omnifact to generate a new one without needing to retype your question.
When to Regenerate a Response
Unsatisfactory Answer
The response didn’t fully address your question or needs improvement.
Want an Alternative
You’re looking for different suggestions, approaches, or perspectives.
Need More Detail
The response was too general and you want more specific information.
Need Less Detail
The response was too detailed and you want a more concise summary.
How to Regenerate a Response
Find the 'Regenerate Response' button
After the AI assistant has completed its response, look for the “Regenerate Response” button above the message input field.
Click to request a new response
Click the “Regenerate Response” button. You’ll see the loading indicator appear as Omnifact creates a fresh response to your question.
Review the new response
Omnifact will provide a completely new response to your original question, not just a variation of the previous answer.
Each regenerated response is created independently, which means you may receive significantly different information or approaches each time you regenerate.
Using These Features Effectively

Combine with message editing
Combine with message editing
For the best results, consider editing your original message to be more specific before regenerating. This gives the AI clearer instructions for the new response.

You can regenerate a response multiple times if needed. Each attempt will produce a different approach to answering your question.
