🤖 Why does the Bot respond with incorrect information learned in the conversation?

In some cases, the Bot may repeat a word or data incorrectly. This is not always due to a configuration error, but to how the Bot interprets and uses the information provided during the conversation.

🧠 Contextual learning within a conversation

The Bot can temporarily learn information from what the user writes. For example, if in the course of the dialogue the user mentions a name or city with an incorrect spelling, the Bot could adopt that value and use it in its subsequent responses.

🔁 This learning is specific to the current conversation and does not affect other interactions or is permanently saved.

📝 What type of data can it misinterpret?

  • 📍 Names of cities or places

  • 👤 Proper names

  • 🗣️ Words that resemble existing fields

  • 🆓 Open-ended responses that the Bot interprets as valid

This happens especially when the flow design does not establish fixed values ​​or does not validate user responses, allowing the conversation to adapt contextually.

❌ Can this behavior be corrected?

It is not possible to retroactively modify the way the Bot interpreted a word within a conversation that has already started.

It is also not possible to train it globally to always use a specific version if that information was learned contextually.

✅ Best practices to avoid ambiguities

To reduce errors and ensure that the Bot provides correct and consistent responses:

  • 🧩Define fixed fields or established values ​​in messages (for example, a city or name stored as a variable).

  • ✔️Validate the information entered by the user, with confirmations such as: "Is this information correct?".

  • 🚫Avoid relying exclusively on free text input when it comes to sensitive or important data.

  • 🔍Incorporate the Recognition component to detect if the contact is already identified and avoid overwriting information.
