AI and Dialogflow Conversation Agents By Janpha Thadphoothon While I was having my favorite cup of coffee (Americano), I browsed through Facebook and Google, which happed to make my coffee taste bitter. I came upon a question asked by someone and the question struck my attention. It had won my attention. That question is about artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots.
