# resetState

<Warning>
  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](/ai/platform-features/nlu/intents/conditions).
</Warning>

## Syntax

`resetState()`

## Description

Resets the conversation State to its default value.

**Returns:** `Promise<string>` — a promise resolving the name of the default State.

## Example

// Reset the conversation state to the default state
resetState().then((defaultState) => {
  console.log(`Conversation state has been reset to: ${defaultState}`);
});
```
