RasPI Assistant: Google Assistant + Dialogflow + Raspberry Pi

Would you like to control the TV using your voice without spend a lot of money? ... Amazing right?. So, in this post, I will teach you how to do that and more. Some of my dreams always have been control things without touch them, for example: the television, due to tired to raise the hand to change the channel. So ... let's create a device that can do this action automatically. What things will we need? First, I should understand the problem and be aware about it. For example: if we want to control a TV that is not smart, how will we do that? ... a possibility is to send infrared signals (IR) to transmit the events that the person's desire. Also, if I want that the device can hear me, I may need a microphone. Additionally, it should have a speaker to talk with the people. Further, I will need a database to save all the information, APIs that can help me with the smart logic and cheap electronic components like a Raspberry Pi , resistors, leds, wires an

How to create a simple Chatbot?

Developing an amazing Chatbot ... What is a Chatbot? First to understand how it works, you need to know how it was originated and some algorithms  like  the Natural Language Processing (NLP). It is another AI area, but it is around the language (usually written), it is the component that bridges the gap between human conversation and understanding programmed by a computer. NLP allows the computer to interpret the vast and complicated human language, understand it, process it, and effectively "speak", just like humans. Through the process, the machine has to understand all the jargon that is being using and developing or adapting with the ability to respond, as a human computer. NLP has to do with the creation of systems that process or "understand" the language to perform certain tasks, such as answering questions, analyzing the sentiment in a sentence, making translations between different languages, and another. In the past, the NLP involved a lot
