GENERATING AND UPDATING CONVERSATIONAL ARTIFACTS FROM APIS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17454302 titled 'GENERATING AND UPDATING CONVERSATIONAL ARTIFACTS FROM APIS

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a method, computer system, and computer program product for generating a conversational bot for an application programming interface (API).

• The invention involves parsing an API schema.
• The invention generates sentences for the conversational bot based on the parsed API schema.
• The invention constructs the conversational bot by training a deep learning model.
• The invention receives natural language expressions from users.
• The invention determines whether the natural language expression is sufficient to activate the bot.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:

• Customer service: The conversational bot can assist customers in navigating and utilizing an API, providing real-time support and troubleshooting.
• Developer assistance: The bot can help developers understand and utilize complex APIs, providing guidance and suggestions.
• Virtual assistants: The technology can be used to create virtual assistants that interact with users through natural language, helping with tasks and providing information.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses several problems:

• Complex APIs: APIs can be difficult to understand and use, especially for non-technical users. The conversational bot simplifies the interaction by providing a natural language interface.
• User support: The bot offers real-time assistance, reducing the need for human support and improving response times.
• Developer productivity: The bot helps developers quickly find the information they need, reducing the time spent searching through documentation.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

• Improved user experience: Users can interact with the API through natural language, making it more accessible and user-friendly.
• Time and cost savings: The bot reduces the need for human support, saving time and resources.
• Increased productivity: Developers can quickly get the information they need, improving their efficiency and productivity.
