I’ve tried to enter exact wordage to several things with dedicated flows. So far, I have had no indication that it actaually checks this. Anyone had results? Do I need to incorporate “Ok, Homey” into it - I haven’t tried that yet.

I just put in a flow for the question “What are you?” and though I did get a quite ok reply to the question - it was NOT the one I had programmed…

They put some fun in it from the beginning and that is one of it,
