  5. Open the GitLab chat in Help -> Ask GitLab Chat
  6. Ask a question (for example "What is a fork?") and wait for the response.
  7. Close the chat and re-open it
  8. The original question and the response should already be in the chat. ⚠ Keep in mind that the formatting of the AI response will look odd. This is a known issue and will be fixed in Fix tanuki bot response (!122318 - closed)
