Build a Virtual Agent with JavaScript and Natural Language Processing
Dave Nugent will demonstrate how to build a smart agent using natural language processing.
Slack has arguably become an indispensible tool for communications in many companies and Slack bots are a great way to improve and even streamline some processes. In this hands-on, virtual workshop, Dave Nugent will guide you in building a Slack bot that leverages IBM Watson to make it “smart.”
In this interactive workshop, David Nugent from IBM Developer will walk you through building a bot using Slack’s API and IBM Watson.
Dave will cover how to build a Slack bot with Slack API using Node SDK, and improve the bot with Slack’s new Block Kit Builder and make the bot smarter using IBM Watson.
This is an interactive workshop, so bring your laptop and code along! This session uses Node.js, however, you should be able to follow if you have a general understanding in any programming language. All you need is a Chrome browser to try out the sample code.
