Description
A “new” way of communicating with your computer/devices is on the rise: VOICE. How do we make a program understand our determinations with words? Enter Dialogflow, a platform for mapping intents. Attendees will git a quick rundown of Dialogflow and see it used in a live chatbot. A more complicated chatbot made with Ruby will be demonstrated to show the some of the more advanced usages of Dialogflow. There are a lot of tools out in the market that attempting to resolve similar issues as Dialogflow. Let’s start learning about these new class of tools. Limitations and alternatives to Dialogflow will be discussed.
Notes
I’ve been making this chat bot for about 6 months now. First as a proof of concept, and then completely again as an MVP with a node backend. We ran in to many limitations with voice-intent technologies, and a lot of changing of features and functionalities at the same time. Seems like a relevant topic. ;-)
