Hey @habibunnish! This is actually not a bug - you're passing userInput as a prop into ChatBot but ChatBot doesn't accept such a prop. You can refer to its documentation here for the props accepted: https://react-chatbotify.com/docs/api/chatbot

Moving on to your use case, if you're looking to modify chatbot input externally, you'll want to use hooks: https://react-chatbotify.com/docs/api/hooks#usetextarea

Hey @habibunnish, you're passing a ref into the chatbot and trying to call setTextAreaValue on it but that's not how it works. You should be leveraging hooks, specifically the useTextArea hook which I've also linked earlier: https://react-chatbotify.com/docs/api/hooks#usetextarea

If you need some examples on how hooks can be used, you may look over here: https://react-chatbotify.com/docs/examples/custom_hooks

Hey @habibunnish, if you're using hooks, you need to use ChatBotProvider. Strongly recommend to read through the entire hooks documentation in detail before using it: https://react-chatbotify.com/docs/api/hooks/#overview
