 ## Formatting conversation data
 
 This task code assumes that you've parsed and saved your collected conversations in a simple .jsonl format. The path to this file should be passed in as `mephisto.blueprint.pairings_filepath=${PATH_TO_FILE}`.

 Chat task using two ParlAI-style agents. Code can be extended to change the number of human agents or to add bot agents. See the Mephisto [README](https://github.com/facebookresearch/Mephisto/blob/master/examples/parlai_chat_task_demo/README.md) for more details.
 
 Since this task is imported from the Mephisto repo, `run.py` will look in `${MEPHISTO_REPO}/examples/parlai_chat_task_demo/conf/` for YAML configuration files by default. See [here](https://github.com/facebookresearch/ParlAI/tree/master/parlai/crowdsourcing/tasks#specifying-your-own-yaml-file) for how to specify a custom folder for configuration files.
