  • Use initial messages to provide context
  • Include relevant details upfront
  • Set clear expectations for the conversation
  • Avoid sensitive information in initial messages
  • Always check for error responses
  • Implement retry logic for transient failures
  • Log session IDs for debugging
  • Have fallback behavior for session creation failures
