3. What are chatbots ? “A computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users, especially over the Internet.” - Oxford Dictionaries “A chatbot is an artificial intelligence (AI) software that can simulate a conversation (or a chat) with a user in natural language through messaging applications, websites, mobile apps or through the telephone.” - Expert system PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_
4. What are Steroids ? PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ “A steroid is a type of chemical substance found in your body. Steroids can be artificially introduced into the bodies of athletes to improve their strength.” - Collins Dictionary
5. The Steroids PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ 1. Dialogflow. 2. Python Backend. 3. Pydialogflow-fulfilment. 4. Other Python Packages. 5. You.
6. THE STEROIDS - Dialogflow PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ Dialogflow (formerly API.ai) allows you building engaging voice and text based conversational interfaces powered by AI and deploy the same easily.
7. Dialogflow- contd PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ Key Features ➢ Entities ➢ Intents ➢ Integrations ➢ In-Line Code Editor ➢ Analytics ➢ Small Talk ➢ Multilingual Agent Support ➢ Cross Platform Support ➢ Fulfillment ➢ Training ➢ Agent Creation & Management
8. Dialogflow- cont'd PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ COMPONENTS ➢ Intents ➢ Contexts ➢ Entities ➢ Fulfilments
9. PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ INTENTS Intents are mapping between what a user says and what action our app need to take.
10. PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ CONTEXTS Contexts represent the current state of a user’s request and allow your agent to carry information from one intent to another.
11. PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ ENTITIES Entities are Dialogflow’s mechanism for identifying and extracting useful data from natural language inputs. Dialogflow come with some predefined entities like address, phone-number e.t.c.
12. PyconAfrica 2019 @_emmarex_ FULFILLMENTS Fulfillment in Dialogflow allows you to communicate with your backend to generate dynamic responses.
