After using dgtony's AFG for scenario-based dialogues I became more interested in using a state machine for managing conversation state. In this example I use the python library transitions to handle all the heavy lifting.
This is the model used in the example. Such diagrams can be made by the machine itself:
##Benefits:
-
It is much simpler to reason about the conversational flow when using a state machine.
-
Most state machine libraries have a logging ability. This will be incredibly useful for keeping track of how users interact with your skill.
Feel free to create issues if you have questions or comments!
