Summary


With this chapter, we have completed our journey. We created a new intent for news retrieval. We learned how to deal with an action, triggered from this intent. Based on voice commands, we managed to fetch the latest news, for one topic, and have the smart-house application read it back to us. Next, we went on to see what kind of real-life applications are utilizing Microsoft Cognitive Services today. Finally, we concluded this chapter by looking at some natural next steps that you can take after completing this book.
