ChatBot Deployment using IBM Watson Assistant (low-code and no-code development)

Project Overview

This project involves deploying a chatbot using IBM Watson Assistant. The chatbot is designed to handle user queries and provide appropriate responses based on the configured intents and entities.

Features

• Natural language understanding
• Predefined and custom intents
• Entity recognition
• Context management
• Multi-turn conversations

Technologies Used

• IBM Watson Assistant
• Node.js (for deployment)
• Cloud services (e.g., IBM Cloud)

Setup Instructions

1. IBM Watson Assistant Setup:

   • Create an IBM Cloud account.
   • Set up an IBM Watson Assistant service instance.
   • Create a workspace and configure intents, entities, and dialog nodes.

2. Local Environment Setup:

   • Install Node.js and npm.
   • Clone this repository.
   • Install dependencies: npm install

3. Deployment:

   • Follow the deployment instructions in the config/deployment_instructions.md.
