Hey Champs

I liked the design pattern in the lesson “planning and stock report generation” and I’m curious if there is a way to control number of interactions on each of the steps besides doing it through prompt engineering?

P.S. For the admins, both links here [Conversation Patterns | AutoGen](https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/docs/tutorial/conversation-patterns/) (“We allow you to pass in a function to customize the selection of the next speaker…”) are 404.
