#### **3. Ask a Question**

* In **Ask mode**, the Assistant only reads the content of your selected project.
* It does **not hallucinate** or use its own knowledge/web data — so make sure your questions are relevant to the information in your project.
* If no relevant information is found, the Assistant will tell you — this is expected behavior.
