Digital assistants like Siri, Alexa & Co control your smart home: switch on lights, control heating and more. But can you do the same using Oracle Digital Assistant (ODA)? Or is Oracle Digital Assistant just an intelligent front end for integrating enterprise backend systems? The answer to both questions is a big and bold yes. It is the part where IFTTT (if-this-then-that) comes into play. IFTT provides a software platform that connects apps, devices, and services from...

The power of a conversational interface, such as Oracle Digital Assistant, lies in the ability for a user to communicate using natural language using phrases and terms with which they are familiar and comfortable. So, rather than a user interaction being railroaded by the implementation of an IT system, the Nirvana is a naturally flowing conversation. However, the freedom of an open and loosely structured interface such as spoken and written language may exponentially add to...

Messaging channels vary in the richness of their user interface. For example, Facebook supports rich media like images, card layouts, attachments, quick answers, and more. Other channels like WeChat or SMS do not provide the same UI functionality. As a bot designer you need to be able to adapt bot responses to the channel that is used. Voice also is a good example of a channel that does not do well with rich user interface components. When using speech, the bot response...

All bot responses are messages. The most common output is the text message that prints in a bubble. Especially at the end of a bot task, bot designers look for a way to print a summary of outcome of the user-bot interaction. For this, designers have different requirements Print text messages in Multiple Bubbles Print multi-line text messages in a single bubble This article provides examples for Oracle Digital Assistant

As you may know, the Common Response component (System.CommonResponse) can be used to iteratively stamp response items sourced from an array. Sometimes however it is not the repeated rendering of a response item that bot designers need but the repeated looping over a dialog flow state or many dialog flow states (block). In this quick tip I explain how to create a loop in the dialog flow of a skill bot that gets terminated when a specific condition is met.

Digital assistants are the future of chatbots. Up to now, chatbots have focused on narrow scope user initiated conversations to automate simple business tasks like in customer service or marketing interactions. Digital assistants, like a human assistant, are user oriented in that they can assist with many different tasks rather than being constrained to a narrow user case. This is a huge step forward towards true conversational assistants that so far we’ve only known from...

It happens in a chatbot interaction that a user scrolls the conversation history displayed in the messenger client and selects a list or button action that is no longer in scope for the current conversation. For example, in a travel booking chatbot, a user may have selected a destination and provided the name to be printed on the tickets When asked to select a free gift voucher, she then scrolls the message history and selects a different destination. Changing a travel...
