# Improve the Not understood block

## Improve your Not understood user experience

A nice and bot-persona fitted message explaining something like 'Sorry I did not understand that' is the least your bot could do for repair.&#x20;

Yet, there are several ways to make your Not understood experience even better.

### Use AI to find and generate an answer

* Use GPT to generate an answer.
* Use Knowledge base AI to retrieve an answer from your database.

### Use workarounds to continue the conversation

* Create a [counter ](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/tips-and-best-practices/not-understood-bot-dialog/not-understood-counter)where, after a certain amount of times the user sees a different 'not understood' message than the first message.
* Show the [previous](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/tips-and-best-practices/not-understood-bot-dialog/go-to-previous-bot-dialog) block after the 'not understood' message is shown.
* A specific 'not understood' message per [intent below the NLP threshold. ](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/tips-and-best-practices/not-understood-bot-dialog/intent-recognition-below-threshold)
* Create a [google search](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/tips-and-best-practices/not-understood-bot-dialog/not-understood-google-search) for 'not understood' messages.&#x20;
