How to implement Chatbots in an industrial Context | Christoph Windheuser

Discover how to implement chatbots in an industrial context with a human-centered approach, leveraging open-source frameworks and test-driven development to ensure successful implementation.

Key takeaways
  • Chatbots should be designed for human-like conversations, not technical wizardry.
  • Intent recognition and design are crucial for successful chatbot usage.
  • Use open-source frameworks and technology stacks, such as TensorFlow, Keras, and Rasa.
  • Avoid overfitting and handling unknown intents and utterances are challenges in chatbot development.
  • Ensure testability and continuous testing using approaches like test-driven development (TDD) and integration testing.
  • Focus on the intent, not just processing speech or text.
  • Test comprehensibility, ability to convey information, and usability of a chatbot.
  • Design chatbots’ communication to be clear, unambiguous, helpful, and concise.
  • Training models and dealing with out-of-dictionary words are challenges in voice chatbots.
  • Different environments may require different chatbot designs or frameworks.
  • Use word embeddings for intent recognition, such as Word2Vec.
  • Use APIs or voice recognition engines to connect bot and external systems.
  • Some restrictions and limitations in current technological options.
  • Continuous exploration, expansion, and improvement of chatbots.
