Overview

Inspect lets you hand Stella, your AI teammate, a specific thing on your screen instead of describing it. Click the crosshair in Stella’s composer, click any element on the page, and it’s attached as context, with a screenshot so Stella can see it. You can then ask Stella to act on exactly what you selected: summarize a record, explain a row, or filter a chart.

​
How it works

Inspect snaps your click to the smallest meaningful unit under the cursor:
  • a table cell or a record pill (hold ⇧ while hovering to grab the whole row instead),
  • a paragraph, heading, or block of text, or
  • a whole dashboard block (a chart, table, or report card) when there’s no smaller unit to grab (pointing at a chart’s plot area selects the entire block).
What gets attached depends on what you picked:
  • A record / conversation / document is attached by identity, so Stella pulls its live data by id.
  • A dashboard block is attached as the block itself (its screenshot plus its identity), so Stella knows which block and can change what it shows.
  • Anything else is attached as its visible text plus a screenshot.
Because a picked block carries the block’s identity, Stella can target it directly. Ask it to filter a chart and it adds a filter to just that block (not the dashboard’s filter bar), and the chart updates in place. Whether the change applies immediately or asks first depends on Stella’s permission mode, in Ask mode it confirms before writing.

​
Using it

1

Open Stella

Press ⌘I (or open the Stella widget) and click the crosshair icon in the composer, “Select an element on the page as context.”
2

Pick what you mean

Hover the page. A highlight follows your cursor and the hint shows what’s snapped (e.g. td, tr · record, or div · block). Hold ⇧ for the whole row. Click to attach it; press Esc to cancel.
3

Ask Stella to act

The selection appears as a context chip (a chart shows a Block chip). Now ask in plain language, for example, on a selected chart: “filter this to open deals” or “only show this quarter.”
4

Confirm the result

A filtered block updates in place. On a chart, you’ll see it re-query with the new filter. Ask again to change or clear it (“remove that filter”).
