The Flow Socket API is a real-time messaging API that allows you to send and receive messages from Flow using web sockets.

The Flow Socket API enables developers to integrate Flow's conversational AI into a variety of client-facing applications, thereby facilitating the creation of customized, interactive user experiences through natural language processing and intelligent responses. This integration enhances customer interactions and automates processes.

For instance:

• Creating a custom web chat widget
• Integrating Flow within a mobile application
