Ask HN: How do I get Fable to acknowledge me?

A Hacker News user reports that Fable, an AI tool used within the Claude Desktop app, frequently ignores direct questions unless the transcript view is enabled to observe its reasoning, causing frustration despite the tool's effectiveness. The user seeks advice on how to get Fable to respond without always reading its thinking process.

| |||||||||||| 2 points by | Im using Fable for a lot of work, and I found it to flatout ignore questions I ask it while it works. Sometimes I can find the answer by turning on the transcript view so I can observe its thinking process, but if I don't do that, it almost never answers. anybody else? it annoys me more than I can express and I don't want to read all its thinking all the time. any advice? im using the claude-desktop app. man I can't wait to get rid of fable - I hate using it, but its really good :-| | ||||||||||| |
