• Conversation State Machines - Implements a finite state machine that maintains per-user conversation state across multi-turn dialogues.
• Middleware Architectures - Processes incoming messages through a chain of middleware classes that can inspect or modify message flow.
• Conversation Flow Design - Designs multi-turn dialogues that track user state and guide conversations through predefined steps or decision trees.
