Who this book is for

This book requires a general understanding of UI building, but the coding level is kept fairly simple: a basic grasp of markup languages and JavaScript will suffice. No in-depth knowledge of Artificial Intelligence is required, except for basic concepts. Knowledge of Natural Language Processing will be helpful, but is not mandatory. Developers and product managers, and even C-level executives, will profit from this book, since it shows them the interactive, expressive side of conversational AI. It is impossible to understand modern NLP and AI products without this.

Hands-On Chatbots and Conversational UI Development

Hands-On Chatbots and Conversational UI Development

Conversation as an interface is the best way for machines to interact with us using the universally accepted human tool that is language. Chatbots and voice user interfaces are two flavors of conversational UIs. Chatbots are real-time, data-driven answer engines that talk in natural language and are context-aware. Voice user interfaces are driven by voice and can understand and respond to users using speech. This book covers both types of conversational UIs by leveraging APIs from multiple platforms. We'll take a project-based approach to understand how these UIs are built and the best use cases for deploying them.
