Easy Lex bot manager

# Luthor for Amazon Lex - Multi-Bot Manager and Player

# Overview Typically, the goal of a Lex conversation is to fulfill a single set of intents, however, there are use cases where a conversation may need to temporarily change topics.

For example, in the case of someone with special needs, a person may be in the middle of a Lex conversation ordering their lunch through the LunchBot, and then suddenly ask a completely irrelevant question which maybe handled by the CommonQuestionBot. Luthor for Lex can switch contexts to the question bot, and then naturally transition back to the original bot. This provides a “[stream of consciousness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_of_consciousness “stream of consciousness”)” flow to the conversation.

Luthor for Lex allows you to run multiple simultaneous bots, switching contexts and managing the transition between bots cleanly and naturally.
