Master Digital Assistants with Conversation Designer
The interface between machines and humans is moving towards humans. Computers are capable of keeping basic conversations in platforms as natural for humans as Instant Messengers: WhatsApp, Slack, Web chats, etc.
This technological shift is great news for those able to integrate their backends systems with chat-bots and put them in the hands of humans to interact with. If you are not doing it or are curious about how difficult to implement a chat-bot, you are about to discover it is actually straightforward.
I’m going to walk you through the steps to create a Digital Assistant Instance on Oracle Cloud as part of the Free Tier; and to create an advanced chat-bot able to talk about buying products, download manuals for those products, redirect the conversation into a call centre or check warranties for products.
15 minutes, that is all you need
Try it out
You can try it out in just a few minutes — no need to install or configure anything on your computer. Create an Oracle Digital Assistant chat-bot for free on Oracle Cloud.
Do you have an Oracle Cloud Account? If not, you can create one here:
Remember, Oracle Cloud does not charge you anything unless you explicitly request the upgrade to pay as you go. No problem.
Create a Digital Assistant Instance
Create an instance of Digital Assistant as part of your free credits as shown in the video:
Conversation Designer
Conversation Designer is a nice way to build a chat-bot by playing the role of the bot and human, creating a conversation example. All that information will be processed by Digital Assistant to create Intentions, conversation flow, entities and all the objects needed to train and deploy a fully functional Digital Assistant.
