---

I will use DialogFlow ChatBot for my implementation. Go to https://dialogflow.com/ Sign up for free ( as a Google product you can use your Google Account to sign in ).



ChatBot Framework in general is well documentated you can find a lot of topics talking about this with easy effort.

At first you need to undertsand three things Small Talk, Intents and Entities about ChatBot :

1. Small talk Intents. These intents are the opener or closer of a conversation.


2. Intents ( or Business Intents  ) are the intentions of the end-user, these intentions or intents are conveyed by the user to your bot.


3. Entities are metadata or parametres that compose each intent.

For this scenario i will create two intents GET_AGENTS_LIST and GET_AGENT_ITEM. GET_AGENT_ITEM will contain AGENT_ID as an Entity. Small Talk will be expression like Hi/Hello and Bye or Ciao.

Choose a name for the agent like TEST_CHAT_BOT and click CREATE button
