TALK

Recently, new tools designed to simplify the interaction between humans and computers have hit the market: chatbots or virtual assistant. Why are chatbots important? A chatbot is often described as one of the most advanced and promising expressions of interaction between humans and machines. However, from a technological point of view, a chatbot only represents the natural evolution of a question answering system leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP). Formulating responses to questions in natural language is one of the most typical Examples of Natural Language Processing applied in various enterprises’ end-use applications.

In times of crisis, chatbots can help people quickly find answers they need to critical questions. In the case of a pandemic like COVID-19, people might be trying to find basic information about testing, symptoms, community response, and other resources. In this workshop you will learn how to create a crisis communication chatbot using IBM Watson Assistant and how to add webhooks to Watson Assistant to query for dynamic data using Watson Discovery and COVID-19 APIs.

Learning objectives:-

  • Provision an instance of Watson Assistant-Add a dialog skill to your Watson Assistant instance
  • Connect your Watson Assistant with Watson Discovery
  • Create Cloud Functions (Serverless service)
  • Integrate data sources via a Watson Assistant webhook
