### Why training your NLP&#x20;

It's important to train the NLP model, especially after making significant changes such as[ adding new intents](/navigation/natural-language-processing-nlp/intents.md#add-a-new-intent) or modifying [entities](/nlp/natural-language-processing-nlp/detect-information-with-entities.md). Here's why:

* Reflect change&#x73;**:** new changes made to the NLP model, such as adding intents or entities, won't take effect until the NLP is trained.
* Testin&#x67;**:** by updating the NLP, you can easily test the impact of these changes on your chatbot's performance. This allows you to fine-tune and validate your bot's behavior.

### Track the NLP update status

To know if your NLP is successfully done training, either:

* After updating NL&#x50;**:** Once you have initiated the NLP training process, you can check the status of the update.
* Click notifications: To check the status, click on the notification icon. This will display the progress and status of the NLP update.
* Monitor progres&#x73;**:** You can monitor the progress and ensure that the update is successfully completed.

## 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.chatlayer.ai/nlp/natural-language-processing-nlp/train-your-nlp.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.
