Exercise

Asking contextual questions

Sometimes your users need some help! They will have questions and expect the bot to help them.

In this exercise, you'll allow users to ask the coffee bot to explain the steps to them. As in the previous exercise, the answer they get will depend on where they are in the flow.

Instructions
