8. What are entities?
   Entities represent a class of object or a data type that is relevant to a
   user's purpose. By recognizing the entities that are mentioned in the
   user's input, the Conversation service can choose the specific actions to
   take to fulfill an intent.

9. What are intents?
   Intents are purposes or goals expressed in a customer's input, such as
   answering a question or processing a bill payment. By recognizing the
   intent expressed in a customer's input, the Conversation service can
   choose the correct dialog flow for responding to it.

10. What are dialogs?
    The dialog uses the intents and entities that are identified in the user's
    input, plus context from the application, to interact with the user and
    ultimately provide a useful response.

22. Please show me
    the code!
    Getting our hands dirty
    Let’s download the repo
    and start diving into the
    code by compiling and
    building the sample app.
    Framework
    Let’s explore the already
    written code and dive
    deeper understanding
    clean architecture at
    code level.
    Writing the code
    We will write code for our
    use cases in our
    application by reusing
    components and writing
    tests..
