# Global Pentest Chat

The Global chat channel is a feature that allows program managers to communicate with the pentesting team in real-time. On the right side of the screen, you will find contact information for the lead pentester, as well as a chatbox that allows you to directly communicate with the team. Additionally, there is a timeline of the status of the pentesting, which includes information about whether it is ongoing or completed.&#x20;

This allows program managers to stay updated on the progress of the pentest and address any concerns or questions they may have in a timely manner. The channel also serves as a communication hub for all the stakeholders of the pentest.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bugbase.ai/program-guide/pentest-dashboard/global-pentest-chat.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
