Book Description

Conversation as an interface is the best way for machines to interact with us using the universally accepted human tool that is language. 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.

We'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.

We then turn to voice-enabled UIs that are capable of interacting with users using speech with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

By the end of the book, you will have created your own line of chatbots and voice UIs for multiple leading platforms.

What you will learn

商品描述(中文翻譯)

使用領先的工具(如Chatfuel、Dialogflow、Microsoft Bot Framework、Twilio、Alexa Skills和Google Actions)建立超過8個聊天機器人和對話式用戶界面,並在Facebook Messenger、Amazon Alexa和Google Home等平台上部署它們。

主要特點:

- 通過基於項目的指南了解對話式用戶界面的不同用例
- 構建功能豐富的聊天機器人並在多個平台上部署它們
- 獲得個人和家庭助手的語音啟用界面的實際示例

書籍描述:

對話作為界面是機器使用被普遍接受的人類工具——語言與我們互動的最佳方式。聊天機器人和語音用戶界面是兩種對話式用戶界面的變體。聊天機器人是實時的、數據驅動的答案引擎,能以自然語言進行對話並具有上下文感知能力。語音用戶界面是由語音驅動的,能夠理解並回應使用者的語音。本書通過利用多個平台的API來涵蓋這兩種類型的對話式用戶界面。我們將採用基於項目的方法來了解這些界面的構建方式以及部署它們的最佳用例。

我們將從使用Facebook Messenger API構建一個簡單的消息機器人開始,以了解機器人構建的基礎知識。然後,我們將使用新獲得的Google Dialogflow和Microsoft Bot Framework創建一個可以執行複雜任務(如訂購和計劃活動)的任務模型。

然後,我們轉向能夠使用語音與使用者進行交互的語音啟用界面,如Amazon Alexa和Google Home。

通過閱讀本書,您將為多個領先平台創建自己的聊天機器人和語音界面。

您將學到什麼:

- 使用項目的方式構建聊天機器人和語音界面
- 使用不同平台的API來構建功能豐富的對話式用戶界面
- 部署聊天機器人和語音界面到多個平台上的最佳實踐
