How to Stop an AI

While any AI is responding, click the stop button in the chat. The response stops immediately. That’s it. No confirmation dialog, no consequences. Just an instant stop.

What Happens Next

  1. You type your follow-up or redirect
  2. The AI you stopped responds first to your new input
  3. Other AIs continue in sequence (if applicable)
The key insight: stopping doesn’t reset anything. The conversation continues with full context, including the partial response.

Why This Matters

Spot Something Interesting? Dig In Immediately

Don’t wait for 4 more AIs to finish. Stop and explore the interesting point right now.

Going the Wrong Direction? Redirect

If you see the AIs heading down an irrelevant path, stop and correct course before wasting time.

Need to Add Context? Jump In

Realized you forgot to mention something important? Stop and add it.

Example Workflow

  1. You ask: “What are the risks of expanding into the European market?”
  2. Claude is responding and mentions GDPR compliance costs - that’s exactly what you want to explore
  3. You click stop (GPT and Gemini haven’t responded yet)
  4. You type: “Tell me more about GDPR compliance costs specifically. What’s the typical investment for a company our size?”
  5. Claude responds first with detailed GDPR cost analysis
  6. GPT and Gemini follow with their perspectives on the same focused question
Result: Instead of 5 broad answers about “European risks,” you got a deep dive on the one risk that matters most to you.

When to Stop

  • An AI mentions something you want to explore - stop and ask about it
  • The responses are too broad - stop and narrow the focus
  • You realize your question wasn’t specific enough - stop and rephrase
  • You already have what you need - stop and move to the next question

When NOT to Stop

  • First time on a new topic - let the full sequence run to get the complete picture
  • You want diverse perspectives - the later AIs often add unexpected value
  • You’re not sure what you’re looking for - let the exploration happen

Tips

  • Stopping is free. Don’t hesitate. If something catches your eye, stop and pursue it.
  • The partial response from the stopped AI is preserved in the conversation. Nothing is lost.
  • This works in every mode: sequential, fusion, debate, and red team.
  • You can stop and redirect multiple times in a conversation. It’s how power users work.
