 When the querychat UI first appears, you will usually want it to greet the user with some basic instructions. By default, these instructions are auto-generated every time a user arrives; this is slow, wasteful, and unpredictable. Instead, you should create a file called `greeting.md`, and when calling `querychat.init`, pass `greeting=Path("greeting.md").read_text()`.
 
+You can provide suggestions to the user by using the `<span class="suggestion"> </span>` tag.
+
+For example:
+
+```markdown
+* **Filter and sort the data:**
+  * <span class="suggestion">Show only survivors</span>
+  * <span class="suggestion">Filter to first class passengers under 30</span>
+  * <span class="suggestion">Sort by fare from highest to lowest</span>
+
+* **Answer questions about the data:**
+  * <span class="suggestion">What was the survival rate by gender?</span>
+  * <span class="suggestion">What's the average age of children who survived?</span>
+  * <span class="suggestion">How many passengers were traveling alone?</span>
+```
+
+These suggestions appear in the greeting and automatically populate the chat text box when clicked.
+This gives the user a few ideas to explore on their own.
+You can see this behavior in our [`querychat template`](https://shiny.posit.co/py/templates/querychat/).

 If you need help coming up with a greeting, your own app can help you! Just launch it and paste this into the chat interface:
