About the DataHour on Chatbot

Chatbots have been around for some time. They have revolutionised the customer experience domain by enabling automation of frequently-repetitive consumer interactions using an AI-powered consumer response system. These systems are highly economical, scalable and transmutable, as they can be built into any existing CRM and CXM software. Hence, chatbots are the future of all consumer-facing industries and are moving from not only answering basic questions such as “Where is my Order?” to complex quotations and enquiries too.

In this DataHour, Dr. Rachael Tatman will guide you through a hands-on chat-bot building process using an open-source tool called Rasa. She will walk you through the basics of Rasa, including how words are translated into machine learning features, and how the conversation turn is picked up. 

You will be working alongside the tutorial, so come prepared with the prerequisites mentioned below.
