# Text

It's the simplest response type, useful when you need a consistent, unchanging message rather than AI-generated text.

#### Setting up text responses:

1. Enter the exact text to be shown (up to 1000 characters)

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Using exact text responses is faster and completely consistent, but may make interactions feel less natural. Only use in very specific contexts.
{% endhint %}

#### Example: Greet the user

{% hint style="info" %}
Consider adding a follow-up Checkpoint node with a "Wait for user input" option enabled to make sure that the user's response will proceed to the next node (could be an Intent Matcher node in the above example).
{% endhint %}

#### Common use cases:

* Legal disclaimers
* Standard greetings
* Error messages
* Instructions
* System notifications

{% hint style="info" %}
I**mportant considerations:**

* Messages never vary - same text every time
* Keep content clear and concise
* Update manually when changes needed
* Consider using LLM Response for more natural interactions
