Asking questions

Applies to WingHUD 3.0 · Updated October 21, 2026 · English only

Ask a question#

Type your question into the chat box and press Enter (or click Send). Ctrl+Enter or Shift+Enter starts a new line instead, in the chat box and in the in-game chat. WingHUD replies using what it knows about the game you're currently playing, plus anything relevant from your recent chats. Ask about builds, strategy, an item, a boss, a setting, or anything else related to the game — there's no required format or command syntax.

Starter chips#

A fresh, empty chat shows a few starter chips — quick suggestions tailored to the game you're chatting about, or general ones in General chat. Some send a real question and wait for a reply, like "What's the strongest mid this patch?"; others, like "Dota 2 widget explained" or "What can WingHUD do?", answer instantly with no AI call at all. Sending your own message clears the chips — they only ever show on an empty chat.

Copy a code block or a whole reply#

Any code block in a reply gets its own copy button in the top-right corner once it finishes streaming in — click it to copy just that block, and it briefly turns into a checkmark to confirm. Every assistant reply also has its own copy button, next to the speaker and thumbs-up/down icons, that copies the whole message instead of just one block. A whole-reply copy ends with a short credit line, "— answered by WingHUD · winghud.com"; copying a code block or text you selected yourself doesn't add it.

Sharing a reply#

Click the share icon under a reply (next to the copy button) to turn it into a public page on winghud.com. The link is created right away, and the Share window shows a preview of the question and the start of the answer: click Copy link and paste it into Discord, a DM, or anywhere else. Anyone with the link can see that question and answer; your name isn't shown. If the answer used your own game data, such as your Dota 2 match history or your WoW character, the window says so, and that page is kept out of search engines. Other shared replies can show up in search results and in the list of shared replies at winghud.com/s/. Sharing the same reply again gives you the same link. Hardware advisor replies can't be shared, and you can share up to 20 replies a day.

Remove a shared link#

To take a page down, click Remove link in the Share window, or go to Settings → Data & privacy → Shared links, which lists every reply you've shared with a Delete button for each and a "Delete all". A removed link shows "This shared reply was removed." (the old page can stay visible for up to a minute). Deleting your account removes all your shared links.

The welcome message#

Opening a fresh chat for a game — a new one, or one you haven't sent anything in yet — shows a short welcome message plus that game's starter chips. Some games add a tip underneath: Dota 2 always gets a note about the Picks Assistant widget, and World of Warcraft gets one about installing the Companion addon until you've installed it. The message and chips disappear as soon as you send your own message.
