+## Component format
+
+A Dapr `conversation.yaml` component file has the following structure:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Component
+metadata:
+  name: echo
+spec:
+  type: conversation.echo
+  version: v1
+```
+
+{{% alert title="Information" color="warning" %}}
+This component is only meant for local validation and testing of a Conversation component implementation. It does not actually send the data to any LLM but rather echos the input back directly.
+{{% /alert %}}
