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.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe'll start by building a simple messaging bot from the Facebook Messenger API to understand the basics of bot building. Then we move on to creating a Task model that can perform complex tasks such as ordering and planning events with the newly-acquired-by-Google Dialogflow and Microsoft Bot framework.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe then turn to voice-enabled UIs that are capable of interacting with users using speech with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy the end of the book, you will have created your own line of chatbots and voice UIs for multiple leading platforms. \u003c\/p\u003e  What you will learn \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Design the flow of conversation between the user and the chatbot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Create Task model chatbots for implementing tasks such as ordering food\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Get new toolkits and services in the chatbot ecosystem \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Integrate third-party information APIs to build interesting chatbots   \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Find out how to deploy chatbots on messaging platforms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Build a chatbot using MS Bot Framework\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e See how to tweet, listen to tweets, and respond using a chatbot on Twitter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Publish chatbots on Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140197564656,"sku":"9781788298339","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781788298339_p0.jpg?v=1763739045","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781788298339","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
