# 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!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hyungpt.app/frequently-asked-questions-faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
