It all makes sense what you are saying, and thank you for staying with me on this.

However no matter what I try to start of it runs through the whole workflow. No back and fourth chat.

I tried your suggest to ask kick off the conversation with more context.

But ran through the workflow without stopping.

I tried “I want to book kathy on thursday at 3”, but did the same.

Then I tried to add another variable as you suggest, but didn’t change much either.

Had a little look [here](https://community.openai.com/t/how-to-get-started-with-agent-builder/1361280/6) seems to be more struggling with the same.
