After you ask a question, Blue J provides suggested follow-up questions to help you go deeper and refine your research.
These suggestions are generated automatically based on your original question and results.
What are suggested follow-up questions?
Suggested follow-up questions help you go deeper in your research by identifying what to explore next.
They are generated based on your original question and the answer, and are designed to:
- Extend your analysis beyond the initial response
- Surface related issues, edge cases, or implications you may not have considered
- Point you toward additional authorities, frameworks, or angles relevant to your topic
Rather than starting over or guessing what to ask next, suggested follow-ups guide you through a more complete and structured research process.
They are especially useful for uncovering what else matters in a given area and building a more thorough understanding step by step.
How to use them
After you receive an answer:
- Review the suggested follow-up questions
- Click one to continue the conversation
Blue J will generate a new answer based on that follow-up.
Important:
- When you click one suggestion, the others will disappear
When should I use suggested follow-ups?
Use them when you want to:
- Get more detail on an answer
- Find additional sources or cases
- Explore a related issue you hadn’t considered
- Refine or clarify your original question
Suggested follow-ups are especially useful for iterative research, where you build understanding step by step.
Examples
If your original question is:
“What are the rules for allocating consideration in an asset acquisition?”
Suggested follow-ups might help you:
- Go deeper: “What are the tax consequences if the buyer and seller fail to file Form 8594 or disagree on the allocation of purchase price in an asset acquisition?”
- Find authority: “What types of documentation or evidence does the IRS typically rely on to determine the fair market value of assets when no written allocation agreement exists?”
- Narrow focus: “How does the allocation of consideration under IRC §1060 affect the buyer's depreciation and amortization deductions for the acquired assets?”
This allows you to explore the topic without starting over.
Can I turn suggested questions off?
Yes.
If you don’t find them useful, you can disable suggested follow-ups in your Settings (gear icon in the bottom-left corner).
Tips for getting the most value
- Use suggested follow-ups to build on answers, not restart
- Combine them with your own custom questions
- Copy useful follow-ups into new conversations if needed
- Treat them as starting points, not final questions
