Description
In 2024/2025, there are FAR BETTER choices for building chatbots, including Dialogflow CX (you can check out my CX course to learn about the topic) and of course Large Language Models like GPT and Gemini. Here are a few reasons to still use Dialogflow ES in 2024/2025:- you need to add a chatbot to your website for free- you are looking to learn the basics of chatbot development. In my opinion, Dialogflow ES still provides the best balance between power and ease of use for non-programmers trying to build chatbots - you want to build a quick prototype just to test out some ideas before you move on to using more powerful chatbot building toolsWhat you should know before you build your ES botIn my work as a Dialogflow ES consultant, I noticed that my clients would make the same kinds of mistakes repeatedly and end up with chatbots which could easily go into a bad state. I designed something called the "explicative approach" to building ES bots, which would help people avoid these kinds of mistakes. - avoid using the slot filling feature- use an output context lifespan of 1 so you can have better control over your conversation design- simulate session variables if you wish to keep user input in memory over a longer conversation- do not overuse the wildcard entity- do as much work as possible without calling a webhook. In other words allow Dialogflow to handle as much of the NLU as possible- and a few more suggestionsIn this course I explain how to combine all these ideas to build basic Dialogflow ES Messenger chatbots.
