State Management
Built-in state tracking for complex conversations. Manage multi-turn workflows, branching dialogues, and stateful interactions without building your own state machine.
What is state management?
State management allows your AI node to track and maintain context across multiple conversation turns. Instead of treating each message in isolation, the node understands where the user is in a workflow, what choices they've made, and what information has already been gathered — producing coherent, contextual responses that feel natural.
Why it matters
Complex conversations require memory of past interactions. Without state management, users must repeat information, workflows break, and the AI cannot guide multi-step processes. State management transforms a stateless request-response model into a coherent dialogue system.
How Interlocute helps
Interlocute nodes maintain conversation state automatically through the thread abstraction. Each thread tracks the full conversation history, user context, and workflow position. You can query current state, branch conversations, and maintain multiple concurrent workflows per user — all without building a state machine.
Built for workflows
State management works alongside memory, tool use, and scheduling. A node can guide a user through a multi-step onboarding process, collect structured data across multiple turns, and make decisions based on accumulated context — all while maintaining state consistency.
