Component description

How the Followup Questions component works

Followup Questions Component

The Followup Questions component is designed to help users generate insightful follow-up questions based on a provided context, answer, and conversation history. This functionality is especially valuable in AI-driven workflows where deepening understanding of a topic or clarifying ambiguities is important—such as in chatbots, tutoring systems, or knowledge exploration tools.

What Does the Component Do?

This component takes an input text (typically a user’s question or statement), and, using a language model, generates a list of follow-up questions that the user should ask to gain a deeper or clearer understanding of the topic. It can leverage additional information like the current chat history, context, and previous answers to generate more precise and relevant questions.

Inputs

The component supports several input fields, some optional and some required. Here’s an overview:

Input Name	Type	Required	Description
Input Text	String (Message)	Yes	The main text input (user query or statement) to base follow-up questions on.
Chat History	InMemoryChatMessageHistory	No	The conversation history, which helps the model generate better-targeted follow-up questions.
LLM	BaseChatModel	No	The language model to use for question generation.
Answer	String (Message)	No	The answer to the input text, which can help improve the relevance of the follow-up questions.
Context	String (Message)	No	Additional context to generate more focused questions.
Number of questions	Integer	Yes	Specifies how many follow-up questions to generate. Default is 5.
System Message	String	No	An optional system-level message to modify or steer the prompt sent to the language model.

Outputs

Message:
The output of this component is a message (or collection of messages) containing the generated follow-up questions.
