# First answer

> Ask your first question in Genloop Chat, review the AI's reasoning and SQL, validate the answer, and save it to a Liveboard to share with your team.

## Start in Chat

**Chat** is your main workspace in Genloop. Type a question in plain English — Genloop figures out the rest.

</Frame>

Start with something you already know the answer to. A number you can verify. That way you're testing the reasoning, not just taking the output at face value.

**Good first questions:**

* "What were total sales last month?"
* "Which region had the highest return rate in Q1?"
* "Show me the top 10 customers by revenue this year."

## Read the reasoning

Every answer comes with its reasoning visible. Genloop shows you the tables it queried, the logic it applied, and how it reached the number.

</Frame>

This isn't just transparency for its own sake — it's how you catch something off and correct it early. If the logic looks wrong, flag it. That correction goes directly into improving future answers.

## Save what matters

Once you have an answer worth keeping, pin it to a **Liveboard**. Liveboards are your team's shared view — living dashboards that update as your data does, built from the questions you actually asked.
