Serverless Bot Framework

What does this AWS Solutions Implementation do?

This solution helps you implement sophisticated conversational chatbots and develop engaging and lifelike experiences for your customers. The solution automatically deploys, configures, and interacts with managed AWS services that apply machine learning algorithms to interact with end-users and turn chatbot text into lifelike speech.

Multiple languages

Set up chatbots in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

Two conversation types

Choose simple chatbot conversations that do not require access to external resources or specialized functions, or complex chatbot conversations designed for more complicated interactions.

Sample web application

Launch a pre-built sample web application that you can use as a reference framework to create your own application.

Customizable chatbot functions

Engage with chatbots that can use an external API to get weather data, order a pizza, and schedule appointments.
