# Conversations API Developer guide

We've released a new Conversations API Developer Guide, a complete resource to help developers build, test, and extend custom channel integrations with Ada.

The guide walks developers through the entire integration flow — from setting up and getting started with the [demo repository](https://github.com/AdaSupport/ada-conversations-api-demo) to creating a custom channel, starting and ending conversations, sending and handling messages, and rendering responses in your own UI.

It also includes instructions for moving from the demo setup into a production environment, plus best practices for reliability, error handling, and webhook management.
