+ <h2>Install</h2>
149
+ <pre><code><span class="cmt"># Gemfile</span>
150
+ gem "flow_chat"</code></pre>
151
+ <pre><code>bundle install</code></pre>
152
+ <p class="sub">Set a cache for the session store, for example <code>FlowChat::Config.cache = Rails.cache</code>. No migrations, no generators.</p>
153
+
154
+ <h2>The 30-second tour</h2>
155
+ <p>A flow is a class of straight-line Ruby. Each <code>screen</code> is one step in the conversation:</p>
156
+ <pre><code>class RegistrationFlow &lt; FlowChat::Flow
157
+ def main_page
158
+ name = app.screen(:name) { |prompt| prompt.ask "What's your name?" }
159
+
160
+ email = app.screen(:email) do |prompt|
161
+ prompt.ask "Your email?", validate: -&gt;(input) { "Invalid email" unless input.include?("@") }
162
+ end
163
+
164
+ app.say "Welcome #{name}!"
165
+ end
166
+ end</code></pre>
167
+ <p class="sub">FlowChat re-runs this method from the top on every webhook. Each <code>screen</code> returns its stored answer when the session has one and re-prompts when it does not, so the method reads as a synchronous script even though each turn is a separate request.</p>
168
+
169
+ <h2>What you get</h2>
170
+ <ul>
171
+ <li><b>One flow, every channel.</b> The same flow class runs on USSD, WhatsApp, Telegram, and HTTP. FlowChat renders numbered menus for USSD, reply buttons and lists for WhatsApp, inline keyboards for Telegram.</li>
172
+ <li><b>Stateful flows over stateless webhooks.</b> A replay engine reconstructs progress from the session, so you write linear Ruby with normal <code>if</code> and <code>case</code>, not a state machine.</li>
173
+ <li><b>Rich prompts.</b> <code>ask</code>, <code>select</code>, and <code>yes?</code>, with validation and transforms, and buttons or lists where the platform supports them.</li>
174
+ <li><b>Inbound and outbound media.</b> Read photos, location, and contacts through one <code>FlowChat::Input</code> value object, and send media back with a single <code>media:</code> option.</li>
175
+ <li><b>Flexible sessions.</b> Configurable boundaries, durable per-user sessions that survive USSD timeouts, and cross-platform or URL isolation.</li>
176
+ <li><b>Background processing.</b> Acknowledge the webhook and run the flow in a job, with a factory that builds one processor for both the webhook and the job.</li>
177
+ </ul>
