𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗜: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 & 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆 - 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁

Dialog Management means = deciding what to do next.

But something else makes Voice AI feel human instead of robotic:

🧠 Context and memory.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
Consider this exchange:
🗣️ "Book me a flight to Paris."
🗣️ "Make it business class."
That second sentence only makes sense if the system remembers the first.
That's context.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 & 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
→ 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 (session memory)
🔹Recent turns.
🔹Slot values.
🔹Corrections.
🔹Current dialog state.
→ 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆
🔹User preferences.
🔹Past interactions.
🔹Frequent locations.
🔹Knowledge (RAG documents).
This information feeds directly into Dialog Management so the system can make better decisions.

Without memory, every interaction would feel like the first one.

LLMs can reason - but the architecture decides what to remember, when to retrieve it, and when to forget.

That balance is what makes Voice AI feel natural and safe.
