Conversation starters are suggested questions or instructions for users when they start a chat with your Agent. They’re helpful for people who may not know what to ask your Agent.

When someone starts a chat with an Agent, they’re presented with 3 conversation starters, for example:

Tell me about yourself?
What can you help me with?
Summarize what I’m looking at

People interacting with your Agent can either

select a conversation starter
write their own question, instruction, or prompt.

Although not required, we strongly recommend you create conversation starters for your Agent. They provide people with the kinds of questions or instructions your Agent is best at working with.

If you leave the field blank, your Agent will use generic conversation starters.

How to create conversation starters

When creating or editing an Agent, add up to 3 options in the Conversation starters field. Once you save the changes, they will appear the next time someone starts a chat with your Agent.

Conversation starters can be framed as questions or instructions. Try to use examples that show off what your Agent can do.

Examples
