Conversation starters are sample prompts that are displayed in the immersive experience. These sample prompts provide a quick way for users to understand the types of questions that can be asked.

Conversation starters are defined in the declarative agent manifest using the conversation_starters property.

The following code snippet shows how to define a conversation starter:

"conversation_starters": [
  {
    "title": "<title>",
    "text": "<text>"
  }
],

You define a conversation starter by providing a title and text. The text is added to the message box when selected in the user interface. You can define up to a maximum of six conversation starters.
