“What does this error message mean?”Ask Ace
Ask about what you see
Less copying.
More understanding.
A confusing message, a dense paragraph, a question on screen. Give Ace the relevant context and ask it to explain what matters.
Your account, your work, your next question.
A better starting point
Screen context makes the question specific
An assistant needs the actual text or image to answer questions about it. On your computer, screen-related help uses the access you enable. On the web, share a picture or use the camera for a visual question.
Try asking.

Deal yourself in
One useful first question.
- 1
Choose the context
Open the relevant window, or share an image in Ace web chat. Keep the question tied to what you want explained.
- 2
Grant access deliberately
Approve the required screen or camera permission when you want visual help. Check what is visible before sharing it.
- 3
Ask for a useful result
Request an explanation, summary or next step. Compare the answer with the source, especially for numbers and important decisions.
Before you start
A few things to know.
Can Ace see something I have not shared?
It needs available screen, image or camera context for a visual answer. If that context is missing, share it or describe it.
Does the web page see my whole computer?
Browser camera and uploaded images are different from native desktop screen access. Use the desktop app for supported computer context.
Can I stop using my camera?
Yes. Turn off the camera in the current conversation. You can continue with a text question.
