# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

## What exactly is a session and how is it different from pinging the bot?

A session is created by running the `/session start` command, and will respond to every message in the channel. It is different than pinging the bot in several ways:

* Memory is stored on our databases, rather than simply fetching the previous messages in the channel
  * This way, if you wanted to reset hyunGPT's memory, you can do so using `/session restart`. If you are simply pinging the bot, you cannot reset the bot's memory with a command.
* Advanced customisation
  * By running the `/session settings` command, you have opportunities to customize hyunGPT further, for settings such as `respond_to_pings_only` and `vc_voice`
  * When creating a session, you also have the choice to select a personality. If you are simply pinging the bot, there is only the default hyunGPT personality.

## How do I make it so hyunGPT only speaks in one channel?

To make hyunGPT reply to all messages in a specific channel, run the /session start command in that channel. hyunGPT will then respond to every message sent in that channel!
