Choose **Settings > AiseraGPT**, and then choose your bot from the virtual assistants shown on the page. 2. Click **View App Conversation Messages**

3. You now see the default conversation messages that your bot can use. If you’d like to use your own conversational phrases, choose the **Import** drop-down option from the **Actions** button, in the upper-right corner.

### To Import Conversation Messages The **Import** command will allow you to choose a file in JSON format to import. Select the **Paper Clip** icon to browse for the file you want to upload.

### To Export Conversation Messages If you’d like to export the conversation messages, choose the Export drop-down option from the **Actions** button in the upper-right corner. Select the checkboxes next to the phrases that you want to export, before you click the **OK** button.

### To Edit Conversation Messages To edit a conversation message click the **Pencil** icon on the right side of the entry to open the **Edit Conversation** modal.

You will see a dialog box that allows you to modify the message.

### Initial Conversation Messages The **View Conversation Messages** link on your application/bot **Details** page will take you to the **Conversation Messages** page. #### To set initial messages: 1. Type **`init`** into the **Search** field at the top of the page.

2. Review the list of **initial messages** and choose (or edit and then choose) the message that you want bot users to see on their first interaction with your application/bot. If you choose more than one initial message, the messages will alternate when new users interact with the bot. 3. Choose (or edit and then choose) an **initial recommendation** message for the bot users (optional).

4. Type **`toxic`** into the Search field at the top of the page. 5. Select (or edit and then select) the message that you want to appear if a user types an inappropriate message into your application/bot. ### **Enhanced Small Talk and Toxicity Option** Choose the **Handle Small Talk and Toxicity** option when you’re creating an **Aisera 2.0 Application/Bot** to override the previous settings with the updated Small Talk and Toxicity option.

This updated option incorporates the context of the conversation as well as the different search features available for each bot.
