# Test Mode

When testing AI Chat, you can:

* **Generate responses**: You can go through multi-turn dialogue to test your character prompt without the need to enter experience mode. 
* **Edit prompts on the fly:** Any changes to the AI Chat prompt take hold immediately. You can step through  dialogues and create new  branches based on changes you've made to your prompt

To enter test mode, you can click on  the "+ Conversation" at any time at the top left-hand corner of the Conversational AI window. Doing so will open the Chatbot tab.

In the chatbot tab, you can type a message and send it to the AI Chat character, which will generate a response according to the AI Chat prompt. At any time during the dialogue, you can click on the AI Chat tab to review or edit your prompt. In the chatbot tab, you can click on the "Back" or "Next" buttons to step through the conversation.&#x20;

**Branching Dialogue**

Test mode lets you rewind conversations. Pick any point in the conversation and type a new message - the character will react as if the following turns never occurred.
