where are you setting variable current_speaker to non None value?

In my main function, let me give you an example. I tried to reduce my code as far as possible. I do not use any classes and I double checked that current_speaker is set via prints. It seems that it is once registered in the function iam and never changed from there on.

current_speaker = None
chat = Chat(DIALOG_TEMPLATE)


@register_call("iam")
def iam(name, session_id = "general"):
	if current_speaker == None:
		return "Nice to meet you " + name
	else:
		return "I already know you " + name

def main():
	current_speaker = "Nick"
	output = chat.respond("My name is Nick.")

if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()

your variable current_speaker is a local variable in main function which will not be accessible from iam function to make current code work you have to add global current_speaker at beginning of main function.

if you are trying to do it for multiple users for each user create a new session using start_new_session(session_id, topic) function and call as followers respond("My name is Nick.", session_id) where session_id can be any unique id identifier that can identify the current speaker.
