How Intelligent Message Buffering Works

How Intelligent Message Buffering Works

Strategic patience creates smoother conversation flows

The Technical Architecture:

  1. Message Reception: Twilio webhook captures incoming customer messages
  2. Message Stacking: Redis stores messages in a customer-specific queue
  3. Strategic Pause: System waits 5 seconds (configurable) to detect message patterns
  4. Pattern Analysis: Checks if customer has sent additional messages during wait period
  5. Smart Processing: If no new messages arrived, processes entire message stack as one thought
  6. Comprehensive Response: AI agent generates a single coherent response to the complete context

Key Technical Components:

  • Twilio for messaging interface (adaptable to WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.)
  • Redis for fast, reliable message queueing
  • n8n for workflow orchestration
  • OpenAI for generating contextually aware responses
