Jumpstart on building clever virtual assistants (chatbots)

Jan Louda

Abstract

Virtual Assistants, a more advanced chatbots, are getting popular as automated customer touchpoints. During this workshop we will get to know the basic building blocks of chatbots - intents, entities, dialog and context. These blocks are nowadays considered to be standard for many chatbot tools, not only Watson Assistant.
Once we master the building blocks, we will create our own chatbot that will bring us information about International Space Station.

Agenda:
Artificial intelligence and Natural Language Processing intro
