Chatbots can be rule-based or AI-based, and standalone or web-based. The document outlines different components of chatbots and methods for building them, including using APIs, scripting languages, machine learning, and traditional programming. It encourages attendees to practice using bot builders and contact the presenters with any questions.

15. HOW ARE WE GOING
TO BUILD ONE?

16. Bot Builders

17. Traditional Way
● Native Code
● Frameworks
● Rule-based
● A little bit of AI with
Regex and Text
Matching

18. Scripting Languages
● AIML
Example: Alicebot

19. APIs

20. Native ML & NLP
Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing

21. Practice: Bot Builder
