Type your question in the input field and press Enter (or click Send). The AI:- Retrieves the most relevant passages from the topic’s documents
- Constructs a response grounded in that content
- Streams the answer back in real time
Reasoning steps and tool calls
While a response is streaming, expand the Thinking indicator to see what the AI is doing:- Which document passages were retrieved
- What tools were invoked and what they returned
- The reasoning the AI applied before forming its answer
The underlying execution is handled by the Alquimia Runtime. InsightHub renders the live event stream from the Runtime, so what you see is exactly what is happening at each step.
Voice interaction
InsightHub supports voice input and output:- Speech to text — click the microphone icon to dictate your question instead of typing
- Text to speech — toggle the speaker icon to have responses read aloud
