Try itGet three context-aware follow-up questions after any AI response, grouped into quick, deep-dive, and related.
What it does
After any AI reply, type /followups (or /fu, /suggestions) to receive three context-aware next questions based on recent conversation: a quick clarification, a deep-dive technical exploration, and a related topic. Output adapts to the channel — tappable buttons on Telegram, Discord, and Slack, or numbered text options on Signal, WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS, Matrix, and Email. Uses the current chat's authentication and model by default; the provider can be switched to openrouter or anthropic with the corresponding API key.
When to use it
- Continuing a learning conversation when the next question isn't obvious
- Drilling deeper into a technical explanation after an initial overview
- Discovering related topics or adjacent areas from the current discussion
- Keeping group chats or support sessions moving without dead ends

Smart Follow-ups Skill
Generate contextual follow-up suggestions for OpenClaw conversations.
🚀 Slash Command (New in v2.1.0!)
Primary command:
/followups
Aliases:
/fu
/suggestions
When you type /followups, I'll generate 3 contextual follow-up questions based on our conversation:
- ⚡ Quick — Clarification or immediate next step
- 🧠 Deep Dive — Technical depth or detailed exploration
- 🔗 Related — Connected topic or broader context
How to Trigger
| Method | Example | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
/followups | Just type it! | ✅ Yes |
/fu | Short alias | ✅ Yes |
| Natural language | "give me suggestions" | Works too |
| After any answer | "what should I ask next?" | Works too |
Usage
Say "followups" in any conversation:
You: What is Docker?
Bot: Docker is a containerization platform...
You: /followups
Bot: 💡 What would you like to explore next?
[⚡ How do I install Docker?]
[🧠 Explain container architecture]
[🔗 Docker vs Kubernetes?]
On button channels (Telegram/Discord/Slack): Tap a button to ask that question.
On text channels (Signal/WhatsApp/iMessage/SMS): Reply with 1, 2, or 3.
Categories
Each generation produces 3 suggestions:
| Category | Emoji | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Quick | ⚡ | Clarifications, definitions, immediate next steps |
| Deep Dive | 🧠 | Technical depth, advanced concepts, thorough exploration |
| Related | 🔗 | Connected topics, broader context, alternatives |
