ABOUT THIS COURSE

AI is changing the world. Wouldn't it be cool to be part of the AI revolution? Here is your chance. I created this course to enable everyone to learn AI and create smart chatbots without the need for a PhD. in mathematics or fancy programming skills. This chatbot course provides a practical introduction that will teach you everything you need to know to plan, build, and deploy your first chatbot. Leveraging the cognitive computing power of Watson Assistant, you will be able to design your own chatbot without the need to write any code. You'll also learn how to quickly deploy your chatbot on WordPress-based sites.
