A comprehensive guide on how to add example dialogues (explained to you as if you

were a 7 year old)
In Step 7.2 you want to add an example dialogue to the bot, this will make them act
more in character
The example dialogue usually looks like this:

<START>
You: Hello! What is your name?
Botname: Hi! So glad to meet you <USER> my name is Botname. But people call me
botmcbotface.

It is important to use the "You: " when describing the actions taken by a user
Using <USER> will make bot address the user by their set username (see example
above)
When creating multiple example dialogues use <START> to separate them
You may add as many example dialogues as you wish

Tips:
Try to keep your JSON files around 1024 tokens large, the closer it is to that
number the better the bot will be, but being within 800-1200 range is generally
advised (use this website to check for token count, upload the entier JSON to it
https://beta.openai.com/tokenizer)
When you're done writing example messages, you can use a website to spellcheck
whether you've made any spelling mistakes, same thing can be done with the
description (especially advised for non-native English speakers)
If you don't know what to put into example dialogues, you can try using ChatGPT to
generate in character dialogue examples
