Oracle Digital Assistant
Oracle Digital Assistant release 22.04

ODA 22.04 continues to improve developer productivity via

  • the Visual Flow Designer, a new way to design conversations instead of using a code editor.
  • a Knowledge feature that enables you to quickly create answer intents from PDF/HTML sources that contain text in a Q&A format 
  • a new tool in the Utterance tester to rank all of the utterances in the training corpus in terms of how close they are to the test phrase.

In addition, PII support has been extended to digital assistants and to the exported Insights files.

Additional details on these new features you can now use in building your skills:


Visual Flow Designer

  • Dialog flows are designed visually instead of using a code editor
  • The connections between states are represented in visual diagrams. Variables, parameters, and component properties are defined in specialized editors and dialogs.
  • Greatly simplifies design and maintenance of dialog flows using minimal code

Knowledge Documents

  • Ingest Q&A pairs from PDF/HTML sources to quickly create answer intents
  • Automatically generate example utterances for these answer intents

Similar Utterances

  • Identify utterances in the corpus that are similar to the test phrase
  • Use this to evaluate whether the similarities between a test phrase and some of the top-ranking training utterances can be attributed to the test phrase resolving below the confidence level or to the wrong intent.

PII Anonymization

  • PII support has been extended to digital assistants and to the exported Insights files
  • User data is now protected through the entire digital assistant-skill interaction and also in the exported data

Instances are due to be updated to Release 22.04 during April & May 2022
