In this lab, you will get your hands dirty with this new technology. You will develop, train and test a new skill (chatbot) defining intents, utterances, and entities.
You will then design the conversation flow and connect the skill (chatbot) to a back-end API. Finally, you will publish the new skill (chatbot) to a chat client (web or Facebook).

Context
Over 4.1 billion users around the world are on instant messaging and chat apps at any moment in time. People want and expect the instant engagement that only messaging apps can provide,
and they’re rushing to these platforms in droves, at an adoption rate far greater than even social networks saw at their peak. Oracle Digital Assistant is a platform for developing apps for natural
conversational interfaces such as Facebook Messenger and Amazon Alexa. A digital assistant uses artificial intelligence for natural language processing and understanding, to automate
engagements with conversational interfaces that respond instantly, improve user satisfaction, and increase business efficiencies.

The platform makes it easy to build sophisticated digital assistants or simple skills (chatbots) that can connect and extend multiple backend systems, like Oracle ERP, HCM and CX, or
any third party apps - simultaneously, in a secure, scalable manner.
