Course description
Smarter Chatbots with Node-RED and Watson AI
In this course, you'll learn how to use Node-RED to augment the capabilities of your Watson Assistant chatbots by integrating them with services such as Watson Translate and Text to Speech. You'll also practice deployment of chatbots to Facebook Messenger.
Node-RED, which is built on Node.js, is a browser-based flow editor that makes it easy to wire together devices, APIs, and online services by simply dragging and dropping nodes on a palette. You then connect, or wire, the nodes to create flows that can be then deployed to the lightweight Node.js runtime with a single click.
Get hands-on experience in this course as you learn how to use Node-RED to augment the capabilities of your Watson Assistant chatbots. You will learn how to:
- Convert speech to text
- Analyze tone
- Translate text into different languages
- Send tweets through Twitter
- Add audio and video capabilities
- Set up a chatbot using the IBM Watson Assistant service and Facebook Messenger.
This course requires no programming experience!
