Building a really smart Jabber chatbot with Dialogflow

Have you heard of Dialogflow?

Dialogflow (previously known as api.ai) is a conversational agent manager. Basically, you can see Dialogflow as a back-office were to manage an NLP engine.

As an admin, you can create intents that represent a suite of similar “user says”. Under the hood, Dialogflow provide an AI (Natural Language Processing) that learns to match user inputs (called “user says”) with intents depending on the context, in order to provide the more logical/appropriate response. It could be an actual answer, called a “speech”, as it can be an action. For example : starting a job, running a command, etc.
