I was recently asked why a Data Scientist in our team wasn't data-sciencing but was instead working on data wrangling: data preparation, cleaning and data quality assurance. Where were the fancy statistics? Or at least a slide that said Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or Deep Learning. I realized that Data Science doesn't always live up to the hype for upper-level management. It might be that it doesn't live up to expectations, because frankly, somebody has set the bar a little too high for us mere mortals (ahem, Google).

In this blog post, I will build a bot from scratch that will help you enable Natural Language Processing just by using an Excel Sheet and a Cloud Service by IBM Watson; Natural Language Classifier. I'll explain how I did it, so you can build your own. It's not as complicated as it might sound, this tutorial will make things way easier. We'll build a "Coffee Bot". The fact, this topic is so generic that even a newbie can ramp up quick.
