Implement the RGA component
Use an expandable search box

The atomic-generated-answer component lets you use Coveo’s Relevance Generative Answering (RGA) feature to automatically generate answers to users' queries.

You must create your RGA model and associate it with a query pipeline before you can use the atomic-generated-answer component.

The generated answer panel includes the following features:

Example generated answer panel | Coveo RGA

1	The title of the RGA panel.
2	Clicking Dislike brings up a modal which asks the user to specify why they didn’t find the information helpful.
3	A Copy to clipboard button.
4	A toggle to hide or show the RGA panel.
5	A disclaimer that advises the user to verify important information in the generated answer.
6	The user can click a citation to open the item, or hover over a citation to view the specific item chunk that was used to generate the answer.

Implement the RGA component

In the search page HTML, add the atomic-generated-answer component to the main layout section. You’ll probably want to place it before the status layout section, if present.

  <body>
    <atomic-search-interface id="search" pipeline="<YOUR_QUERY_PIPELINE>"> 
      <atomic-search-layout>
        <atomic-layout-section section="search">
          <atomic-search-box></atomic-search-box>
        </atomic-layout-section>
        <atomic-layout-section section="facets">
          <atomic-facet-manager>
            <atomic-facet
              field="objecttype"
              label="Type"
            ></atomic-facet>
            <atomic-facet
              field="filetype"
              label="File Type"
            ></atomic-facet>
          </atomic-facet-manager>
        </atomic-layout-section>
        <atomic-layout-section section="main">
          <atomic-generated-answer></atomic-generated-answer>
          <atomic-layout-section section="results">
            <atomic-result-list></atomic-result-list>
          </atomic-layout-section>
          <atomic-layout-section section="pagination">
            <atomic-load-more-results></atomic-load-more-results>
          </atomic-layout-section>
        </atomic-layout-section>
      </atomic-search-layout>
    </atomic-search-interface>
  </body>

For the Atomic RGA component to work, you must set a pipeline with which the RGA model is associated on the atomic-search-interface component.

This example produces the following search page:

After you implement generative answering, your users may begin to use longer queries. We recommend that you enable the textarea property on your atomic-search-box component so that it can expand to support multi-line queries.
