Custom Generative Answers Card

To modify the structure of the Generative Answers card, use Tools > Jambo Commands > Add Generative Direct Answer (GDA) Card. This will fork the default card in the theme and create a new set of files in a new top-level directory.

In general, we don’t recommend forking the default Generative Answers card unless you really need to.
