The Challenge

Build a chatbot that can engage users with lifelike conversational interactions and which solves a particular user need, such as booking a hotel or answering queries. The chatbot must run on Amazon Lex and AWS Lambda. Deploy your bot to a messaging platform like Slack, Facebook, or Twilio.

The Reward

The rewards for the winning submissions include a total prize pool of $10,000, complimentary tickets to AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas on 11/27 – 12/1, AWS credits, and more. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet with AWS product team leaders and have your winning submission promoted by AWS.

Building a chatbot is easy with Amazon Lex and AWS Lambda

It’s easy to build sophisticated, natural language, conversational bots (“chatbots”) using AWS services. Amazon Lex is a service for building conversational interfaces into any application using voice and text. With Lex, the same deep learning technologies that power Amazon Alexa are now available to any developer. You can use AWS Lambda’s serverless compute to run the backend logic for your chatbot, such as for data retrieval, updates, and business logic. Lambda runs your bot code in response to events without the need for provisioning or managing servers.
