To access the assistant, click the usual "➕" icon to open the comment form. Within it, you'll find clickable options to dig into various questions:
One of the more common questions is simply "Why was this changed?" Of course, hovering on the line number next to the change will give a hint, since that will show the explanation provided by the committer when they authored the commit. But typically, committer messages max out at a line or three, and what you want to know is a deeper dive than a two line commit message.
