- Craft Your Input: Gemini is designed to understand natural language. Feel free to ask questions in a way that feels comfortable and conversational.
- Extra Context with Images (Optional): If a picture is worth a thousand words, you can upload an image to provide additional context for your query. This can be particularly helpful when your request is visual in nature.
- Send and Receive: Once you’ve phrased your question or entered your prompt, hit enter or click the send button (usually an arrow or paper airplane icon) to deliver your request to Gemini.
- New Chat Sessions: If you want to start a fresh conversation on a different topic, click the “+” button to initiate a new chat window.
