E.g., if you type “create a person with name nick paul, “the chatbot will initiate the create person workflow and present you with the form to create a person. You can learn more about the commands in the section below.

You can input the command cancel in any conversation context to end a task and request a new operation with the bot. Except for other nifty features, Ask to See Commands will get you answers to common queries at your fingertips without opening the browser.
