Depending on the type of application or Dialogue System you’re creating, you can have multiple tools, components, and architectures that can be utilized to achieve your vision.

Under the Resources tab, there are various components, tools, and architectures that are listed, as well as any helpful links on installation, customization, and even integration.

Below is a list of the various Resources provided by DialPort and what they entail:

1. Reference Architectures
   • This page provides a list of Dialogue System architectures that can be used as a reference.
2. Dialogue Managers
   • This page provides various Dialogue Managers. A dialogue manager is responsible for the state and flow of the conversation.
3. Natural Language Understanding
