How to let the user know my bot is typing?
# 🤝help

Botpress naturally has a "..." message that indicates when it is sending a message, but we know that this "..." only appears seconds before the message is sent. Often, when I run an AI Task or some Code Card, especially on webchat, the bot may take 10/15 seconds to respond, and the "..." message appears only in the last second. Is there a way to anticipate this message so that the user knows the bot is thinking of a response from the moment the user sends the message? It doesn't seem logical to me that this message will appear only at the last seconds. If it's not possible to anticipate "..." , is there any workaround for this function?

This has been requested by a lot of people. I haven't seen a solution for it 😦

Yea, i have been wondering if this is possible as well.

Where do you encounter latency with the bot's ... ?

This would be really cool, v useful for the AI tasks that take a moment too
