# What are variables? {% hint style="success" %} Now we are going to tell you a **secret**. You do not have to be a programmer to do magic :man\_mage::woman\_technologist: {% endhint %} We will reveal a few tricks soon. But first, we need to explain some basic terms. ### You might be expecting voicebot to remember your name or other data you talk about during the conversation. How is this possible? Thanks to **variables**. We have two types of variables: * **Global Variables** * **Arguments** An InteliWISE voicebot remembers **Global Variables** for the duration of the entire conversation. In the case of **Arguments**, it has a short memory. They may be passed only from one block to another, and then they are forgotten. **Sample global variables:** * `globals.first_name`– stores the first name**.** * `globals.date` – stores the date used in the conversation. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
