AI Quick RepliesWhen no journey-defined buttons exist, the AI suggests 2–3 contextual follow-up options after each response. Journey-defined buttons always take priority.On (Conversational), Off (Document Generator)
Allow "Start Over"Users can say "start over" or "reset" to return to the beginning of the conversation journey. After 6+ messages, a greeting like "hi" also triggers a reset. Conversation history is preserved.On
