# Limitation.

## What does the pattern do?

- Communicates when the AI cannot answer.

## When should the pattern be used?

- If there is no matching data available, so there is no output.

## Recommendation

- Communicate appropriately for each case, e.g. ‘We don’t have any corresponding data...’ or ‘It seems as...’
- Offer a way to get back on the right path ‘...Try another question’.
