Conversational AI Management

Managed Natural Language Understanding (NLU) Engine - an industrial-grade native NLU engine, from domain specific natural language to structured data

  • Intent classification - understand the type of action or out of scope conveyed in the sentences and all its participating parts (e.g. book a flight, order dinner, buy a product, etc.)

  • Entity extraction - locate and classify named entities into predefined categories such as person names, organizations, locations, product SKUs, etc. Regex/pattern entities, List entities, Fuzzy matching, pre-built entities

  • Slot tagging - tag the words which carry meaning to the sentences (e.g. landing city, type of meal, etc.)

  • Language identification - determining the natural language that a document or part thereof is written in (e.g. English, French, etc.)

  • Natural Language Understanding: any number of languages within the same chatbot; the bot is able to detect the user's language and then answer in kind

  • Spell checking - check for misspellings and automatically fix the spelling mistakes so that the downstream NLU performs more accurately

Visual conversation / dialog management

  • Low-code drag and drop user interface

  • Topic management - process that enables data elements pertaining to a specific topic to be maintained within conversations (e.g. user name, SKU number, etc.)

  • Conversational detours - while the visual flows represent the "happy paths" that are desired by the conversation designers, detours are about automatically and gracefully handling exceptions

  • Template management - use pre-made templates to get started or find inspiration
  • Intelligent slot filling - prompting for missing form fields
  • Workflow management - group and reuse flows and subflows to embed and manage domain specific knowledge
  • Code autocompletion and user interface shortcuts
