• Looking at the timing, I'm thinking there might have been a recent update. Has there been any significant change to the chatbot's functionality or user interface in the past 1-2 months?

Why it matters: Recent changes could directly impact user engagement. Expected answer: Yes, there was a major update to the natural language processing model. Impact on approach: If confirmed, we'd focus on the update's impact on user experience.
