Voice assistants, conversational smart devices and chatbots are no surprise today. But when is the conversational interface used for hype, and when is it really user-friendly? Participants in the MAKE CONVERSATIONAL AI WORK Challenge at Junction will be looking for an answer to this question.
Do: Hack Conversational UX
Come up with a chatbot or a voice service (a skill for a smart speaker, a voice interface for a mobile application) that will be convenient to use and can bring obvious benefits to the user: it will help out when your hands are busy, help you navigate the application, save time, entertain, provide support, and so on Further.
Development conditions: using an open source framework
Just AI, the official hackathon partner and challenge curator, invites participants to use an open source framework to create a conversational UX JAICF based on Kotlin. It can be used to add voice navigation to an Android application, create a smart bot for a website / messenger, or a skill for one of the voice assistants. JAICF enables transparent dialog management, provides access to NLU services and libraries.
A bit of cheating for bounty hunters
If a participant needs more functionality to implement a grand idea, he can also use additional tools:
Aimybox SDK for seamless integration of a voice assistant.
Dialogue platform JAICP as a cloud deployment environment – to save time on integrations, access NLU services, and debug tools for your JAICF project.
Prizes
Participants who create an effective and truly useful conversational solution will receive:
Winner – € 1,500 from Just AI
Runner-up – Annual Subscription to JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA, Just AI Aimylogic and Just AI JAICP
Third Place – Annual Subscription for Just AI Aimylogic and JAICP Products
