Ask GEN anything in plain words: a question, or a build goal for the composer. NOT record lookup: 'what did I ask/say before' is chat history — gen_discover platform.conversations — and when you already hold an id, use gen_discover. One call carries one or more typed actions: ask (question) | chat (message: a multi-step build goal; payment, publishing and other gated steps pause for approval via gen_task_action decide_agent_run). Content ideas are gen_content_action (generate_ideas | expand_idea | set_idea_status) and research is gen_analyze (research_web | report) — neither is served here. Uploaded files are analyzed on request — an image, video, audio, document or spreadsheet attachment — and a YouTube watch/shorts link is analyzed the same way; the answer comes back as text. ask and chat start agent runs and poll to completion by default; wait=false returns the run_id to poll with the gen_discover task.run_status view. A message into an existing conversation is queued behind the run in flight (mode steer sends it into that run instead). steer, cancel_pending and stop drive that queue and the live run; reading the queue or the thread is a gen_discover platform.conversations / platform.conversation / platform.conversation_pending view, never a branch here. Do NOT ship posts here: gen_publish_action ships. The legacy ask tool names are retired; use this dispatcher.
