  • Demo of the chatbot functionality and benefits: The chatbot can handle different scenarios such as creating new customers, updating existing customers, and validating data. It can also provide feedback, email notifications, and error handling. The chatbot reduces the need for tickets, training, and manual intervention, and improves the user experience and data quality.
  • Technical details and challenges of the chatbot development: The chatbot uses Azure Bot Framework, QnA Maker, LUIS, and Cognitive Services to interact with users and SAP systems. The chatbot faced some challenges such as security, compliance, and data mapping, which were solved by using onedrive, encryption, and lookup tables.
  • Future plans and enhancements for the chatbot: The chatbot is currently in production for one region and one data domain, but it will be extended to other regions and domains soon. The chatbot will also be improved by adding more intelligence, creativity, and humor to the conversations.
