# State Of Mind
Learn how the State of Mind feature visualizes your AI character’s emotional state in real time during conversations.
## Introduction
The **State of Mind** section provides a visual representation of your AI character’s current emotional state. This dynamic emotional map helps you understand how your character is responding internally during a conversation, allowing for fine-tuning of its personality and interaction style.
***
## How It Works
* The State of Mind interface displays a **color-coded emotion wheel**.
* Each segment represents a specific emotion such as **Joy, Anger, Trust, Fear, Surprise, Sadness, Disgust,** and **Anticipation**, along with nuanced variations like **Serenity, Rage, Admiration,** and **Amazement**.
* **Active emotions** — those the character is currently experiencing — are highlighted more brightly on the graph.
* Emotions change dynamically based on the context, tone, and content of the conversation.
***
## Practical Use Cases
* **Character Testing:** Observe real-time emotional responses to verify that the character reacts as intended.
* **Personality Tuning:** Adjust personality traits in the **Personality Traits** section and see how they influence emotional patterns.
* **Storytelling & Roleplay:** Ensure emotional consistency in interactive narratives.

## Conclusion
The State of Mind feature offers valuable insights into your AI character’s emotional behavior. By monitoring these live emotional changes, you can ensure your character responds in a way that aligns with its designed personality and intended use case.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.convai.com/api-docs/convai-playground/character-customization/state-of-mind.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
