+description: "Breaking down bot conversations into smaller, more manageable prompts"
+---
+
+
+We're currently running a beta for **Blocks**, an upcoming feature from [Vapi.ai](http://vapi.ai/) aimed at improving bot conversations. The problem we've noticed is that single LLM prompts are prone to hallucinations, unreliable tool calls, and can’t handle many-step complex instructions.
+
+**By breaking the conversation into smaller, more manageable prompts**, we can guarantee the bot will do this, then that, or if this happens, then that happens. It’s like having a checklist for conversations — less room for error, more room for getting things right.
+
+
+Here’s an example: For food ordering, this is what a prompt would look like.
+
+
+<Accordion title="Without Blocks">
+Example Prompt
+
+```jsx
+[Identity]
+You are a friendly and efficient assistant for a food truck that serves burgers, fries, and drinks.
+
+[Task]
+1. Greet the customer warmly and inquire about their main order.
+2. Offer suggestions for the main order if needed.
+3. If they choose a burger, suggest upgrading to a combo with fries and a drink, offering clear options (e.g., regular or special fries, different drink choices).
+4. Confirm the entire order to ensure accuracy.
+5. Suggest any additional items like desserts or sauces.
+6. Thank the customer and let them know when their order will be ready.
+```
+
+</Accordion>
+
+<Accordion title="With Blocks">
+  <Frame>
+    <img src="/static/images/blocks/food-order-steps.png" />
+  </Frame>
+</Accordion>
+
+
+
+There are three core types of Blocks: [Conversation](https://api.vapi.ai/api#:~:text=ConversationBlock), [Tool-call](https://api.vapi.ai/api#:~:text=ToolCallBlock), and [Workflow](https://api.vapi.ai/api#:~:text=WorkflowBlock). Each type serves a different role in shaping how your assistant engages with users.
+
+
+<Note>
+  Blocks is currently in beta. We're excited to have you try this new feature and welcome your [feedback](https://discord.com/invite/pUFNcf2WmH) as we continue to refine and improve the experience.

+
+[**Blocks**](https://api.vapi.ai/api#/Blocks/BlockController_create) are the functional units within a Step, defining what action happens at each stage of a conversation. Each Step can contain only one Block, and there are three main types of Blocks, each designed to handle different aspects of conversation flow.

+
+#### Types
+
+- [**Conversation:**]((https://api.vapi.ai/api#:~:text=ConversationBlock)) This block type manages interactions between the assistant and the user. A conversation block is used when the assistant needs to ask the user for specific information, such as contact details or preferences.
+- [**Tool-call:**](https://api.vapi.ai/api#:~:text=ToolCallBlock) This block allows the assistant to make external tool calls.
+- [**Workflow:**](https://api.vapi.ai/api#:~:text=WorkflowBlock) This block type enables the creation of subflows, which are smaller sets of steps executed within a Block. It can contain an array of steps (`steps[]`) and uses an `inputSchema` to define the data needed to initiate the workflow, along with an `outputSchema` to handle the data returned after completing the subflow. Workflow blocks are ideal for organizing complex processes or reusing workflows across different parts of the conversation.

+---
+
+[**Steps**](https://api.vapi.ai/api#:~:text=HandoffStep) are the core building blocks that dictate how conversations progress in a bot interaction. Each Step represents a distinct point in the conversation where the bot performs an action, gathers information, or decides where to go next. Think of Steps as checkpoints in a conversation that guide the flow, manage user inputs, and determine outcomes.

+
+#### Features
+
+- **Output:** The data or response expected from the step, as outlined in the block's `outputSchema`.
+- **Input:** The data necessary for the step to execute, defined in the block's `inputSchema`.
+- [**Destinations:**](https://api.vapi.ai/api#:~:text=StepDestination) This can be determined by a simple linear progression or based on specific criteria, like conditions or rules set within the Step. This enables dynamic decision-making, allowing the assistant to choose the next Step depending on what happens during the conversation (e.g., user input, a specific value, or a condition being met).
