Rule-based bot vs. AI bot

Natural language is a fundamental element of bot technologies. As a result, there has been a direct correlation between the evolution of bot platforms and natural language processing platforms. While the evolution of bot technologies has been driven by the messaging platform vendors such as Facebook or WeChat, the main advancements in natural language processing technologies is coming from cloud platform and service providers like Microsoft, Google and IBM. As a result, most bot developers spend time integrating their frontend bot applications with natural language processing services provided by a different platform. During this Meetup we will discuss the two main natural language programming techniques that have become popular with bot technologies as well as the key differences between a rule-based bot and AI bot.
