<p>Over the course of two days, my colleague <a href="https://jsutton.co.uk/">James Sutton</a> and I built a talking moose head using some of the IBM Watson Cognitive services.</p>
|
||
<p>We got it talking fairly quickly using IBM text to speech and had it listening for intents like “tell joke” or “check weather” via NLC.</p>

<p>I also built out a dialog that would monitor the state of the conversation and make the user comply with the knock knock joke format (i.e. if you say anything except “who’s there” it will moan and call you a spoil-sport).</p>
