Build Better Chatbots: A Complete Guide to Getting Started with Chatbots

Learn best practices for building bots by focusing on the technological implementation and UX in this practical book. You will cover key topics such as setting up a development environment for creating chatbots for multiple channels (Facebook Messenger, Skype, and KiK); building a chatbot (design to implementation); integrating to IFTT (If This Then That) and IoT (Internet of Things); carrying out analytics and metrics for chatbots; and most importantly monetizing models and business sense for chatbots. 

Build Better Chatbots is easy to follow with code snippets provided in the book and complete code open sourced and available to download. 

With Facebook opening up its Messenger platform for developers, followed by Microsoft opening up Skype for development, a new channel has emerged for brands to acquire, engage, and service customers on chat with chatbots.

在這本實用書中，您將學習到建立機器人的最佳實踐，重點放在技術實施和使用者體驗上。您將涵蓋一些關鍵主題，例如為多個通道（Facebook Messenger、Skype和KiK）建立聊天機器人的開發環境；從設計到實施建立聊天機器人；整合IFTT（If This Then That）和物聯網（Internet of Things）；進行聊天機器人的分析和指標；以及最重要的是，對於聊天機器人的商業模式和商業意識進行貨幣化。

《建立更好的聊天機器人》易於理解，書中提供了程式碼片段，並提供完整的程式碼開源並可供下載。

隨著Facebook開放其Messenger平台給開發者，接著微軟開放Skype進行開發，品牌獲得、吸引和服務客戶的新通道已經出現，這些都是透過聊天機器人來實現的。

您將學到的內容包括：
- 與機器人開發生命週期一起工作
- 掌握機器人的使用者體驗設計
- 整合到機器人生態系統中
- 最大化機器人的商業和貨幣化潛力

這本書適合開發人員、程式設計師和業餘愛好者，他們具備基本的程式設計知識。現有的聊天機器人開發人員也可以使用這本書來更好地了解分析和機器人的商業方面。
