• Integrate bots with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) for natural language responses where appropriate.
• Connect bots to backend services, databases, CRMs, and third-party APIs (booking systems, payment, content sources).
• Handle webhooks, rate limits, and platform-specific message formats (interactive messages, buttons, media, templates).
• Review, debug, optimize, and refactor bot implementations to improve correctness, reliability, maintainability, and graceful error handling.
• Implement logging, monitoring, and recovery so bots stay healthy in production.
