AlterNLU - Open Source NLU Engine

AlterNLU is an open source tool for building chatbot and AI assistant. It gives the developer a minimal approach to build an assistant or bot in production environment.

It converts natural language to structured data. Eg:

Input:

{"text": "i want few covers for my mobile and pillows. and two bed sheet"}

Output:

{
  "intent": "search_product",
  "confidence": "0.9999974",
  "entities": [
    {
      "value": "bedsheet",
      "category": "product_type"
    },
    {
      "value": "Mobile cover",
      "category": "product_type"
    },
    {
      "value": "pillow covers",
      "category": "product_type"
    }
  ]
}
