A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for providing an in-context response to an instant message. One or more instant messaging chat conversations are displayed to a user. When a determination is made that the user has selected a turn in the chat conversation, a response input area is provided to the user, wherein the response input area is used to receive a response from the user to the selected turn. A link is created between the response and the selected turn. The response is sent to one or more participants in the chat conversation. At any point, the response input area may be minimized to a visual response indicator, wherein the visual response indicator is placed in proximity to the selected turn to indicate that the selected turn has an associated response. When a chat participant selects the visual response indicator, the linked response is displayed to the participant.
