Is this the same as Pal's GO key?

Yes. Gate in re-runs the last prompt, same as the key on the handheld.

Can I use a Switch instead?

A Switch holds. Pal wants a pulse. Use Button.

Where should I put this?

On a board that already has work for Pal — a BeatPad, a CuttingRoom, or a TapeDoc — then add Pal.ai into that device.

Component Group

Press GO. Pal runs the last ask.

A Button patched into Pal.gate. One plunger re-runs Pal's last prompt — the same as tapping GO on the handheld. Drop it next to whatever Pal is already watching.

What's wired

Button.gate → Pal.gate. A press is a one-shot pulse, not a held switch. Pal re-runs its last prompt. If you have never asked anything, press does nothing useful — type on ASK or Talk first.

How to use it

Import the pair. Write an ask on Pal. Press the plunger instead of the handheld GO. Patch Pal.ai into a device if you want the answer to land on hardware. The Button label is GO; rename it in Customize.

What you can add

Pal.text → Speak reads the reply. A Metronome.gate into the same Button.gate (fan-in on the button's in jack) would pulse Pal on a beat — usually too chatty. Prefer a human press.
