Abstract:
Are you a data professional tired of answering the same questions over and over again? Whether you're a DBA or a developer, those constant, monotonous questions can take your focus away from the task at hand. "What server is that on?" "What report contains that data?" "What environment has that bug?" While it may be considered rude to tell somebody to "talk to the hand", "go ask my chatbot" sounds less rude, more fun, and actually helpful! During this session you will learn how to build a chatbot and its underlying components so you feed it the data that will help your colleagues make decisions without interrupting your workflow. You'll also be able to supplement your data professional skills with AI and chatbot knowledge as well!
