Course Overview
Formerly known as API.AI
Chatbots are voice-aware bots, i.e. computer programs designed to simulate human conversations with users. This course introduces Dialogflow, Google's conversational interface for bots, devices and applications.
- DialogFlow is state-of-the-art, launched in September 2016
- No deep learning or natural language processing expertise is needed to build even very complex bots
- Provides an intuitive way of specifying the conversational interface
- Automatically and dynamically adjusts conversational responses
- Easy to build, test and publish apps
- Supports one-click integration with other chat platforms such as Slack and Facebook
In this course, we will cover:
- The big picture: How conversation flows in Dialogflow
- Interaction models: Intents, entities, contexts and their resolution into API calls
- Managing dialogs: Handling the flow of conversation using linear and non-linear dialogs.
- Fulfilment models: Using webhooks to fulfill user intents and how to connect to external services to respond to queries.
- Deployment: Deploying a flask app to Heroku, and a Cloud Function to the Google Cloud Platform
- Third-party integration: Integrating a bot with Slack

It was a good course. The first 4 modules were very clear and easy to follow, nevertheless the last module was not that easy. Heroku ask you for a Payment method, also understanding the python script was not easy but in general is a good training.

This course clearly talks about configuration and usages of Dialogueflow. It does its job there. Additional information like comparison with other chatbots apis, frameworks and performance considerations would add to its value.

The subtitles need to be corrected and some parts of the videos are outdated. But for take a general idea of Dialog Flow this course is correct.
