As of Cognigy.AI 2026.7.0, States are deprecated. The removal of States is planned for Cognigy.AI 2026.12.0. Before the removal, delete your States and retrain your NLU model so it no longer uses state-based Intent masking. For alternative approaches to control Intent recognition, use Intent Conditions.
The States functions are used to manage a conversation’s State. They let you get the current State, update it to a new value, or reset it to its default.

​
getState

Syntax: getState() Returns the current State of the conversation.

​
setState

Syntax: setState(state) Updates the conversation State to a specified State. The State must be one of the States defined in the current Flow via NLU > States.

​
resetState

Syntax: resetState() Resets the conversation State to its default value.
