### Overview

The Hint Node in the Bot Builder adds helpful hints in your bot templates to guide users through complex setups. This feature simplifies the user experience by providing assistance right when and where it’s needed.

### Hint Node Usage

Adding clear descriptions to each hint is very helpful. It makes complex settings simpler to understand, ensuring users can follow easily. This is especially useful for guiding users through multiple steps or explaining technical details that might not be immediately clear.

Using Hint Node wisely improves user interaction with your bot, leading to better configurations and a smoother user experience.

## 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.gallabox.com/bots/bot-utilities/hint.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.
