The convenience, flexibility and speed of SMS can dramatically improve customer service. On top...

The key to building a successful chatbot is to ensure that the bot and the user can have a conversation that both sides understand. How well the bot understands the conversation depends in part on the quality and amount of end user utterance data. In Oracle Intelligent Bots, sample utterances define a base set of phrases (which would be regarded as typical phrases for that intent) that are used to train the bot to resolve user intent. In this article we offer some general...

In this post, we are going to register a WebLogic MBean using WLSDM. After that, we can...

At a recent client, I had a "citizen integrator" ask me to show them some of the orchestrations that I've created in ICS, and how I went about creating them.  I began showing off some of the integrations, and some of the POCs that I created.  I didn't get very far until he stopped me and asked, how I was able to invoke the integrations to test them.  This is when I realized he had previously attempted to create some integrations, but didn't understand what he created, or how...
