Abstract

Claims (51)

1. A method for creating chatbot-enabled programmatic web forms, the method comprising:

obtaining (1) a set of web forms and (2) at least one chatbot;

receiving a set of utterances from a user; and

for each utterance in the received set of utterances:

identifying (1) at least one intent and (2) at least one entity from the utterance,

wherein the at least one entity is associated with fulfilling the at least one intent;

generating a mapping of the identified at least one intent to one or more web forms of the set of web forms,

wherein each of the set of web forms have required fields to be completed; and

using the generated mapping of the identified at least one intent, generating at least one chatbot-enabled webform configured to assist the user to complete one or more required fields of the one or more web forms.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein generating the mapping further comprising a mapping of the identified at least one entity to the one or more web forms of the set of web forms.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one intent is denoted by a hashtag symbol.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one entity is denoted by a special symbol.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: mapping confirmation messages confirming completion of the one or more required fields of the one or more web forms.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the mapping of the confirmation messages is performed via graphical user interfaces (GUI).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one chatbot is further configured to complete the one or more required fields of the one or more web forms.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the mapping of the identified at least one intent to the one or more web forms further comprises:

using predefined mapping rules, mapping (1) the at least one entity to (1) one or more required fields of the one or more web forms.

9. At least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium carrying instructions, which when executed by at least one data processor, performs operations for creating chatbot-enabled programmatic web forms and programmatic workflows, the operations comprising:

obtaining (1) a set of web forms and (2) at least one chatbot;

receiving a set of utterances from a user; and

for each utterance in the received set of utterances:

identifying at least one intent from the utterance;

generating a mapping of the identified at least one intent to one or more programmatic workflows within a web form of the set of web forms,

wherein each of the set of web forms have required fields to be completed, and

wherein each of the set of programmatic workflows have required tasks to be performed; and

using the generated mapping of the identified at least one intent, generating at least one chatbot-enabled webform configured to assist the user to perform one or more required tasks of the one or more programmatic workflows.

10. The at least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 9 ,

wherein the operations further comprise: identifying at least one entity from the utterance, and

wherein the at least one entity is associated with fulfilling the at least one intent.

11. The at least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the at least one entity is denoted by a special symbol.

12. The at least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

identifying at least one entity from the utterance,

wherein generating the mapping further comprising a mapping of the identified at least one entity to the programmatic workflow within the web form of the set of web forms.

13. The at least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the at least one intent is denoted by a hashtag symbol.

14. The at least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise: mapping confirmation messages confirming performance of the one or more required tasks of the one or more programmatic workflows.

15. The at least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the mapping of the confirmation messages is performed via graphical user interfaces (GUI).

16. The at least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the at least one chatbot is further configured to perform of the one or more required tasks of the one or more programmatic workflows.

17. A system for creating chatbot-enabled programmatic web forms and programmatic workflows comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors of the system cause the system to:

obtaining (1) a set of web forms, (2) a programmatic workflow, and (3) at least one chatbot;

receive a set of utterances from a user; and

for each utterance in the received set of utterances:

identify (1) at least one intent and (2) at least one entity from the utterance, wherein the at least one entity is associated with fulfilling the at least one intent;

generate a mapping of the identified at least one intent to one or more web forms of the set of web forms and one or more programmatic workflows of a set of programmatic workflows,

wherein each of the set of web forms have required fields to be completed, and

wherein each of the set of programmatic workflows have required tasks to be performed; and

using the generated mapping of the identified at least one intent, generate at least one chatbot-enabled application configured to assist the user to complete one or more required fields of the one or more web forms and perform one or more required tasks of the one or more programmatic workflows.

18. The system of claim 17 ,

wherein generating the mapping further comprising a mapping of the identified at least one entity to one or more of: the one or more web forms of the set of web forms, the one or more programmatic workflows of the set of programmatic workflows, or both.

19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the at least one intent is denoted by a hashtag symbol.

20. The system of claim 17 , wherein the instructions when executed by the one or more processors of the system further cause the system to: map confirmation messages confirming: completion of the one or more required fields of the one or more web forms or performance of the one or more required tasks of the one or more programmatic workflows, or both.
