The hypothesis that I want to test is the efficacy of a chatbot as a training tool and hence this is the purpose of my chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An IBM Chatbot requires the below minimum setup to build a conversational Bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>IBM Cloud Account<\/strong>: Create a free IBM Cloud account and add the resource &#8216;Watson Assistant&#8217;<\/li><li><strong>Assistant<\/strong>: An assistant helps the end users with their requests directed to the Bot. I created an assistant with the name &#8216;AWS Certification Assistant&#8217;<\/li><li><strong>Skills<\/strong>: Skills contain the training (that we need to configure) so that the Bot (Assistant) can respond to user queries<\/li><li>Every Assistant needs to be associated with one skill at the least.<\/li><li>A Skill can be a Dialog Skill or Actions Skill. We will look at details of each type of skill during actual setup<\/li><li><strong>Intents<\/strong>: In very basic terms, Intents are the reasons why an end-user may interact with the bot. E.g. book a hotel or get account information etc.<\/li><li>Intents are defined within the Skill setup. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the bot to identify an intent, we need to setup user examples for each intent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E.g. for an Intent &#8216;#Cancel_Account&#8221;, below can be sample examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cancel my account<\/li><li>I want to cancel<\/li><li>Close my account<\/li><li>I want to drop my account<\/li><li>I want to cancel my policy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dialog:<\/strong> Simply put, setting up a Dialog is the process of configuring the responses to the user queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>User questions (assigned to Intents) are routed to the relevant response- text, option based response, image, transfer to a channel or human agent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this basic understanding, we will configure the Bot in the next posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first step towards setting up a chatbot is to identify the purpose of the chatbot.
