Walk through the Watson Conversation service - developerWorks TV
The Watson Conversation service is a critical component you can use to rapidly deploy a range of bots across a host of channels that will enable your software to build dialog with humans and stimulate conversation. You simply supply your expertise in the form of intents, entities, and well-crafted conversations and the end result is a trained, natural-conversation model that can be integrated into simple chatbots and sophisticated virtual agents designed for mobile devices, messaging platforms, and even robots. In this tour of a simulated, in-vehicle application, you can see how voice commands direct the automobile to perform certain functions such as turning on and off lights and screen wipers. "The application is configured to send signals to the Watson Conversation service. The service, in turn, has been trained to recognize intents and entities that may be uttered by a typical driver. The service is also trained in a dialog flow which allows the service to respond in a natural way to the user's input."
