Hands On: Chatbots for Learning & Development

REQUIREMENTS:

Participants must have an Outlook.com account
Laptops must be wifi enabled (wifi will be provided, but be prepared for slower speeds if the group is large!)
Participants must have a copy of Microsoft Azure (trial version is fine)

Description: Chat bots are widely used in customer service to provide answers to common customer questions. What if we could use chat bots for learning and performance support? This session will give you the knowledge and skills to build your own Q&A chat bot without any programming knowledge. Come to learn the basics of supervised machine learning and build something you can take back to your workplace to show off your new skills. During this session, you will create free trial accounts for services like Microsoft's Azure Portal, Bot Framework, QnA Maker, and Skype, and follow a step-by-step guide on how to integrate these services to support your Q&A chat bot.

Learning Objectives:

Identify free AI tools for learning and performance support.
Describe chat bots and their application for learning and development.
Build a chat bot and data components to support any work project.
