Anshul - it's a good feature area to explore and build to.  +1 on what
Myrle wrote as well.

A quick look at Dialogue Flow - it's entirely closed source.  One open
source alternative is
https://rasa.com/docs/dialogflow/. And they have tools to port over from
Google dialogflow so perhaps there is a way to architect this neutrally??

Rasa is apache 2.0
https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa_core/blob/master/README.md

...perhaps you can create the connectors to both of these external
resources for a robust set of run time choices. Start perhaps w Rasa?
