NaifJs is a backend dialog manager engine, multi-user, channel agnostic, message agnostic.
Each inbound and outbound messages are to/from a specific sessionid (the user id).
NaifJs is independent from the frontend messaging channel (that could be an instant messaging app like Telegram, Slack, etc., or a command line interface, anything).
NaifJs interact with ithe external system (the user at the end of the day), receiving and sending messages.
The platform is agnostic regarding media contents in request and response messages.
The A messaging channel adapter module (external to NaifJs)
is in charge to transfer inbound messages supplying and request data object to the request API.

The channel adapter is also in charge to translate the outbound response data object in a message type
appropriate to the channel surface.
E.g. the response could be a text or a speech or an image to be displayed on the channel
(by example a mobile instant messaging chat app).
NaifJs is able to manage the user silence (no answer) after a prompt.
This is done associating a timeout handler to a response function.
For details see Response Timeout Handlers.
